Thats something the HTML render engine does, in case of Windows Internet explorer.
But this needs to have the needed plugins present to play video from browser.
And no you couldn't just call it from BM but there are windows api calls for video. That isn't the problem after all.
The problem is to have video + sound in sync + the whole thing drawn in BM that has NO DirectMedia support (which is why the old blitz play movies) and thus you need to copyrect each frames data from movie to texture buffer or pixmap to draw.
