You'd need to scan the video for hidden espionage data,
or for a hidden message that if delivered will save a life.

You'd need to scan the video for information related to color,
brightness, etc. when adjusting cinema equipment to
current weather conditions.

Do all these operations need to override "play" accordingly,
or are you thinking of using Cartesian product types created
as needed, maybe?
Will all persistent video objects be extensible so that they can
provide the necessary subprograms that some use case needs?
