Access video and audio files from other source mechine

This depends on what type of access you have to these Video and Audio files on the other machine.

For example, if it is in the same domain or VPN, you could share the files on the first machine and access them using something like UNC path \\SourcePC\ShareFolder\VideoFile.mpg

If the other machine is not accessible through a share, but you have the ability to install software on it, you could write a program to stream these multimedia files over one of the common protocols (UDP, RTP, TCP, RTSP) and playback the streamed media file using any multimedia player. I found the following post that might help:
