I know it is possible to update a live tile in Windows 8 with image and text. But, I wanted to update the tile with a video.
Is it possible? If a video cannot be sent directly, can we break the video into many images and then update?

You cannot add video to the live tiles neither the gif images (you can add gif’s but they won’t work as intended). Adding video is not allowed since it’ll consume lot’s of system recourses in the background task. The purpose of live tile’s are to show information not content itself so that user can just glance on it and take action if needed.
