Ok all you webgurus I have a domain that is currently going un-used how do I create a YouTube like site for hosting my own videos while having the ability to Embed and Share them here like you can with YouTube video's?

I looked at the Embed code and it looks like it uses Flash-Shockwave player to do it.... but how.... that's the question.... is there a program I need that will convert my video to x-shockwave-flash

In otherwords how do I put it on my sight and then be able to create a YouTube like page that allows me to do the same things as YouTube?

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pBZwdjTs50U&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pBZwdjTs50U&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>
 
It shouldn't be too hard, a little coding really. Hank seems to know a lot about flash stuff, I'm not very edumacated on video end of things. As far as I know you covert the video to an FLV (flash video) and the flash object (an swf file) pulls the video file based on parameters passed.

There's lots of free embeddable video players out there, I come across them all the time something like this looks right up your alley. http://flowplayer.org/. Your problem is going to be having sites like ODJT let you embed your videos as you see the YouTube HTML code doesn't work. Sites that don't allow HTML only have plugins for the most popular sites.
 
just pm me and i'll send you the site codes (whole clone youtube website)
