I seem to remember responding to a question about "Is there any way to embed them into a page" which is not the same--to me--as is there a way to embed them in the epub package file. I do seem to remember responding "You can embed some video formats (MP4 and/or WebM) in an epub3 document."
Whether I am linking to an file hosted on YouTube or linking to a file inside the epub package doesn't really matter to me. Links is links.
I get the galloping heebies when you refer to "embedding the file, itself, in the HTML files" where I would say "embedding the file in the EPUB document or EPUB package file". By definition, an epub document/container/package file must contain more than only HTML files.
Pedantry is us.

There are links and then there are links. In particular an eBook is not self contained if the links leave the device so links need to be to things inside the ePub to be useful in my opinion.
