There are also other things I wouldn't mind seeing Homebrewed like the ability to play video files (mkv?). Maybe the disc drive can even be hacked to play Blu-Ray discs.

The video files is possible, but playing blue ray discs will be impossible. 

Pretty sure Nintendo is just using a modified Blu-Ray drive in the Wii U, much like the Wii used a modified DVD drive.

Is a proprietary disc drive, It can only play Wii U and Wii disc. For you to play Blue Ray discs on the Wii U will require to completely change the disc drive, and that will result in not being able to play Wii U games (unless you download them).
