currently there is no builtin support for videos, but from my experience i can say that decoding video into textures is not very hard, e.g. libtheora can be used.
apart from that, search the code snippets forum, there have been some posts with classes which enable video playback

movies usually have what we call an container and the container points to the data being requested. The data could be anything from sound to graphical images to chapter index
