Any possible ways to include a video tape into my code?
For example if the player picks an item, some flashbacks are appearing.

"Video tapes" are physical objects, so it's kind of hard to include them in code. ;)

But since you probably just meant some video clips, yes that's possible, but not with SFML directly.
However there have been multiple libraries written for playing back video data, the two most prominent ones are probably sfeMovie and Motion.

Can you recommend any of those libraries, and can they work with sfml?

They both work with SFML and I think, I already recommended both of them. :D
