No. Rich media (video, Flash, 3D, etc) is part of the PDF specification, not the PostScript specification (which only considers objects related to print). The only way to embed rich media is to do it after the creation of the PDF, using Acrobat Pro, or as part of a direct PDF creation process within the authoring application (such as via Right Hemisphere's Deep Exploration).

Yes, Distiller can process pdfmark commands, defining interactive elements in the PDF being created, including rich media (3D, Flash SWF/FLV). All the PDF 3D/Rich Media examples at http://www.microtype.com/showcase.php were created by Distiller, with no post-creation processing.

However, defining 3D/Rich Media objects and their properties requires long sequences of pdfmark commands, and the syntax is not described in current versions of the pdfmark reference manual:
