I purchased the AVP specifically to watch movies. I have a huge mp4 movie library and I want to load a movie on the AVP and watch it there. What is the best way to make that happen? I currently use home sharing from my PC and use my Apple TV.
I don't see an obvious path to play my mp4 movies. Or even how to load one on the device.

Apple Home Sharing should work.
If you want to manually copy your movies the Files app supports network file sharing.
Third party players like Infuse by Firecore also support reading files over the network.
For several years now, I have been using Infuse to stream movies from a hard drive connected to my Airport router to my AppleTV-connected TVs. It works beautifully and the main advantage is that it does not require that my Mac be turned on. The same software program can be downloaded to the Vision Pro and works well. I have also had success uploading a movie to iCloud and then accessing it using the Files app in the Vision Pro. In my experience, the latter method is slower. However, like you, I would prefer to set aside some of the Vision Pros storage space for movies that would not require streaming from a non-Vision Pro source (i.e., be stored on the Vision Pro's SSDs), so anyone who knows how to do this, please post.
The only option is likely going to be AirDrop. As there is no way to connect any external storage devices.

Thanks so much. I downloaded infuse on the AVP and it works perfectly. I can access all the movies on my NAS and it loads quickly. Icloud is definitely not the way to go. Very slow syncing.
