Many people have requested calibre to include support for audio books and at this point that's not even planned. Video is even less book related so...

Video would actually be quite easy and we would be able to avoid all licensing issues. calibre uses Qt for the GUI and one of the components Qt has is called Phonon. It is essentially an abstraction around system provided video playback libraries. So adding video support to a Qt program is very easy, cross platform and since it uses system provided playback libraries, it's small and avoids all licensing issues.
