What is the best software solution for an internal "YouTube like" service?

I am the network manager of a school, and internally we have many videos that are used for lessons and assembly's. I have a new server that is home to all of these videos, but browsing them through a network share is cumbersome.

I would like a locally hosted service like YouTube, so that our staff can upload, tag, search and stream videos (and also possibly audio) over the LAN.

Is there a good product out there (free or paid) that will accomplish this? Can sharepoint services provide this kind of solution?

Thanks for your advice!

Sharepoint can provide these types of solutions as they read from a windows media file, but turn them into streaming media.  Sharepoint compresses the file to where it does not take a long time to load, so it is very :"youtubish".
