My two cents: Depending on the type of DooM mod, having "proper" video (AVI, mp4 format) could work. Specifically, if the mod is intended to display a high degree of realism, such video could be integrated into the game to enhance the experience and increase immersiveness. Video, in particular (and cutscenes in general), can be used especially effectively to advance a story.
Note that I'm not advocating for such a feature (especially given the level of technical difficulty in implementing it). I'm merely stating that the feature can be used to add polish and style to mods. [But then, I don't believe anyone on this forum is disagreeing with this sentiment.]
