Wondering if XPP supports the import, placement and output of video in one way or the other (native or embedded in a pdf)
I think the current options only include having a WWW link to the video file (which would work in both PDF and PS workflows) and as you found having a PDF image with an embedded video (which will only work in the PDF workflow).
As to what PDFlib supports (PDF workflow), starting with the XPP 9.7.0.0 release XPP uses PDFlib version 10 and I found the information below in the PDFlib 10.0.0 API Reference manual.
But unless the Postscript language was enhanced (if not already done) and XPP was able to support that new "level" of PS, I don't think XPP will ever be able to support embedded videos in the PS workflow.

Thanks Jonathan for the follow up.
As PDFlib does support embedding of video maybe I should file an official 'ídea'....
