I don't know that I add that category when I do add videos to articles myself. One solution would be to narrow a scope to a select list of articles around a topic/wikiproject like Roads, Sports, medicine, and then conduct a search for .ogv, .ogg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netball , http://topsy.com/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_derby , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Jackson , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenna_O%27Hea , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canberra_Capitals , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Graf , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianna_Tolo all have video in there.
I think there are some limitations with video that are also worth discussing: Is it better to have a quality picture of Marianna Tolo in the article? Or is it better to have lesser quality video in the article? I believe the maximum upload size on Commons is 100mb. There is no streaming. This creates a major wall to sharing this type of content in an article and making a video illustrative of a point. (The video in the roller derby article for example illustrates safety in roller derby. Tolo video illustrates her playing in a game. If you're a French fan of her, you might want to see what she played like in Australia, especially since Australian games were not televised in France.)
