An animated CD/DVD will take a lot longer and will probably shit them to tears with how they have to your stupid intro movie before getting to the portfolio... oh wait, that intro movie WAS the portfolio? So do you need one? As someone who's been through portfolios and CVs by the dozen, I says yes. Should it be your primary strength? I'm prepared to say no. Just as long as it looks kick ass, and can probably relate to your additional flash/animation DVD (a footnote on a page advising them to check out an item on the DVD for example). What we really need are flexible OLED screens that can replace paper... A print portfolio can be flipped through in a matter of seconds to get a quick overview of your mad skillz.

You can't always garuntee a (good) internet connection when you're displaying things to a customer. The other option is a website that's launched on a CD (Flash is always fun for this). If you did a mix (Printed screen shots / DVD of Work / Hosted Website) it will give you enough flexibility to show off you work to anyone.
