ePub does not (officially) support video, and the Kindle does not support ePub, so it's not surprising it doesn't work.

Kindle does support epub now. the only problem is that it is a regular file with out the video embedded.

If you are trying to use kindlegen or Kindle Previewer or the KDP service to convert ePub to .azw, which often works, it is quite possible that those tools will not convert the iBooks ePub video embedding directly, since it is not standard ePub (yet). You might have to do the conversion 'by hand' as it were by extracting the source files and tweaking them into a more compatible form, which is to say into Mobipocket XHTML dialect with the video tagging that is supported for Kindle. |

I believe the previous poster meant that the Kindle Digital Publishing service will accept ePub files as input. They do of course get converted to Mobipocket format.
