Good question, but in the event there's a good answer, you would have to edit the HTML manually to embed it I think.

Email clients (Outlook, Gmail, etc) do not allow embedding Flash or Video content in emails, and many do not even display images without the reader clicking a button first.  This is not a CiviCRM restriction.  That said, you can link to or place an image that links to a video in an email.   Here is a mailchimp explanation of this complex issue.
