Video Files import?

I recently discovered the Blender software. I tested the Compositing module with his Node Editor and the Video Sequence Editor but I realized this modules have some big issues:
- Compositings can be apllyed only in photo files and not Video files.
- The Video Sequence Editor cant import a lot of MPG, AVI, WMV, MOV, RM, MKV, etc.

So, my questions are:
- It is possible to add Video file support in the Compositing module?
- It is possible to ad support for a vide range of video codecs? Around are at least two GPL players who can open almoust any type of video and audio files. MPlayer and VLC. I think a little source code import from this projects can resolve the Video import issues.

already ffmpeg is integrated - it might not be activated in your build though,
