There should be a group named video in /etc/group. This is a standard
Debian group name, placed there during installation. It originates in
the /usr/share/base-passwd/group.master file, and is copied to /etc/group
by the base-passwd.postinst script, if the /etc/group file is not
already present.
During a standard installation, the "initial user" (the one created during
installation, with UID 1000) gets added to this group.
unicorn:~$ grep video /etc/group
video:x:44:greg
Perhaps you're looking at one of your non-Debian systems, in which case
the groups may be different.
