the first hurdle is that Live only handles video in arrange view. a workaround could be to keep all the video in jitter objects and use session view to send commands to max4Live. maybe.
but if that's the case you could be doing that today.
idealy here's the basics i'd be looking for, pretty simple (I think)
2 channels of video, preferably quartz support, and some effects.
Could you get around the video thing by having clips sit in a bank in the patch and toggled by midi?
or maybe use it to make a wrapper for clips... a plug which you can just drop a video in, assign effects n such...
I suppose by that point you might as well just be sending midi from ableton to any VJ program...
