So what I can get to work is the following recipe, but what I want is 
not o have to specify the file extension:

DESCRIPTION = "my video test files"
SECTION = "examples"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"

MY_DESTINATION = "/home/root/myvideos"

SRC_URI = "file://myvideos-1.0/myvideos-1.0.tar.gz"

do_install_append() {
         install -d ${D}${MY_DESTINATION}
#        install -m 0644 ${S}/* ${D}${MY_DESTINATION}
         install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/*.mp4 ${D}${MY_DESTINATION}
}

PR = "r0"

FILES_${PN} += "${MY_DESTINATION}/*"
