Why would you want to do this? You can register with youtube.com for free, then host as many videos as you want at their expense!
I would like this as youtube is blocked at our school
and I can control content
With a time limit! Is it something like 12 minutes?Quote:

You should be able to host something on your intranet I would of thought if that's the case.
I think the OP realises that, that's why (s)he is asking. The question they are asking is what application would you use?Quote:

Kaltura - Open Source Video Platform - Video Management
Try Coppermine!!
Coppermine Photo Gallery (Stable) - Home
We use at the school where I work.
Another option for Sharepoint schools is the PKS... take a look on http://Codeplex.com/pks
That PKS looks very interesting, thanks.
We use Vhare (vShare Video Sharing Script - YouTube Clone Script, script to start video sharing community) it isn't free but might as well be for $10 :-)
If you'd like more info get in contact as I've shown a few other Colleges and they are very interested in it and how I've tweaked it for College use.

We use moodle for video content, I modified the flv play to make it work fullscreen - the hack will be mainstream in the 1.95 release.
it doesn't auto convert files to flv yet though....
