You could remove the options like changing angles, that wouldnt be a big deal.Based on what a saved film is (it isn't a movie file), no you can't "remove the options" and yes it is "a big deal".
Imagine that you have the original script for "Return of the Jedi". It describes everything that is supposed to happen in the movie. Just like there is no way to take the text of the script and simply "play it as a movie" on your PC, there is the same problem with a saved film file.
In order to turn a script into a movie, you need sets, actors, props, costumes, cameras, sound effects, and so on. Similarly a "saved film" from Halo 3 contains the events that occur, but they need the models, textures, animation, sound effects, etc., all of which are contained in the Halo 3 program.
There is no way to "play" a script and watch it as a movie. There is no way to "play" a saved film on a PC and see it as video.
I think it'd be cool to be able to watch something similar to the game viewer play out the saved film. Maybe through flash, I don't know. Not a programmer, but it seems like it could be done (not easily, mind you...).
