bash completion isn't an Ubuntu feature specifically - it's a bash feature. See http://www.hypexr.org/bash_tutorial.php#completion for more details. It now doesn't only operate on files. Try "apt-cache show linux-image-3<Tab>" and you'll see it complete from the package database. If you type cd, it only completes on directory names. If you type mplayer, there's obviously a rule to only complete files with a common video extension. So my guess is you could modify the bash completion config to perhaps complete any file there, or write a script to rename your videos to the appropriate extension.
