How do one add video to the surface?

That's a great feature.

In the texture room, go to color. Use the texture map option and one of the options is avi. You can even go to the glow channel and add the same avi and set to 50 percent brightness. You don't even lights. It will look pretty much like the avi in brightness.

In the color channel in the texture room there is a "texture map" option. You can also use video as a texture map.
