This is the minimum file structure needed to play Descent 3:

Descent 3/
├── custom/
│   ├── cache
│   ├── graphics
│   ├── settings
│   └── sounds
└── missions/
└── d3.hog
└── Descent3.exe

Without the movies/mainmenu.mve file, the main menu ui will overlap. This might be because the movie is constantly drawn overtop of inactive ui windows, so if it isn't present, there is nothing to hide the ui windows.

Without the other .mve files, the player will be prompted for a CD on attempting to start Descent 3: Retribution, Training Mission, or Descent 3: Mercenary.

Since the engine is open source, we should not require a CD--we should simply not play the movies.
