You can embed some video formats (MP4 and/or WebM) in an epub3 document. Now finding an epub3 renderer with a display that will handle video and audio output capability? That's a whole other can of worms.

You can check the IDPF/epub3-samples for a sample epub3 with video which is a few years old but does work.

Edit: I was going to attach a sample but it clocks in at over 30MB.
