XFree86 version number 4.0.what?
XVideo was added at 4.0.2 (I think that is correct anyway).
I am running 4.0.3 and which does have it.  To tell for sure, check: 
"/var/log/XFree86.0.log"  (your location may vary).
Begining nearly 200 lines into the log you should find:

(II) LoadModule: "extmod"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libextmod.a
(II) Module extmod: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
	compiled for 4.0.3, module version = 1.0.0
	Module class: XFree86 Server Extension
	ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.1
(II) Loading extension SHAPE
(II) Loading extension MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD
(II) Loading extension BIG-REQUESTS
(II) Loading extension SYNC
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(II) Loading extension XC-MISC
(II) Loading extension XFree86-VidModeExtension
(II) Loading extension XFree86-Misc
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DGA
(II) Loading extension DPMS
(II) Loading extension FontCache
(II) Loading extension TOG-CUP
(II) Loading extension Extended-Visual-Information
(II) Loading extension XVideo  
(II) LoadModule: "v4l"

If the extension "XVideo" isn't shown in your log, you don't have it (or have 
it loaded).

PS: In reference to an earlier posting of mine on this list - XVideo does 
display both windowed and full screen on my system now - still using 4.0.3 
BUT with nVidia's card drivers, only needed to replace the XFree86 NV driver 
of 4.0.3 
PPS: Reportedly the NV driver that comes with XFree86 4.1.0 also works, but I 
haven't tried it - I stopped changing things as soon as my system worked.
