The difficulty is that every uploaded video needs to be processed for the web and store on our servers. Without the constraints of the movie portal, we could see explosive growth in the amount and length of video uploaded, meaning more processing and more storage, as well as more time chasing down stolen videos or videos with unlicensed commercial music.
...damn, I was seriously off the mark on where the problem lied.
In the years ahead, video compression will improve, processing and storage will become cheaper / more plentiful and we'll be able to at least integrate our existing API for music content ID.
This is gut instinct, but I imagine the music content ID is pretty high priority for you right now - sure, you'd probably need to set up an appeals thread like the one for audio once it goes live, but automatic content ID means less work for the mods, which is always a plus.
All this means that it should get more doable over time, if the requirements for video don't get too out of control (people will probably want to upload 3D immersive video at some point, for example).
You want my take, I think people here are gonna be fine with 2D - last big 3D thing I know of is the 3DS, and that's long since been discontinued. Virtual reality also doesn't seem like its gonna take off any time soon.
