Hi Smruti,
There are a couple of ways you could integrate mp4 or avi into Aras Innovator. I would suggest creating a custom modal dialog and then embedding the mp4 formats into an html tag. There is a community project with a basic template to create a popup modal. There is also a blog post you can check out with instructions/code on how to integrate the modal. The blog post points you to the "ShowFormAsADialog.html" file in the innovator codetree files which it adds on to, however you can replace the existing html file with a custom one containing a blank form with the embedded html tag.
You could also write a client side method to download the file and then have the users open it, but I assume you want to have the video play within Innovator so the prior would probably work better.
Best,
Nithin
