it's not unheard of, multimedia is actually a pretty decent target, however this is due to a lot of media libraries being ancient even in deployment (see the libwebp stuff recently in chrome). However with stuff like mkv which is something that gets updated often, the risk is significantly lower so long as one is up to date. There are lots of people running outdated software which could be susceptible to these attacks.
