I warn you though, the bandwidth will cost you. You will need unmetered bandwidth that costs quite a bit otherwise you will be paying a hefty cost on bandwidth overages if people use your site often. Youtube uses about a couple hundred terabytes of bandwidth per month. 10mbps unmetered costs about 400$ per month and the cost doubles for 20 mbps and increases even more for 50 - 100 megabytes per second. You will need some backend software as well. Youtube uses Lighttpd as a web server software as it is extremely fast and can support thousands of requests without bogging down the processor and doesn't hog memory.

A very good player is and it is free I believe. I hope this answers most of your questions. You can email me at my username @ yahoo.com if u got any more questions. Also btw, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone that doesn't have much experience in this field as the upfront costs will bankrupt you and it is difficult to compete with all the other video sharing sites out there currently.
