Well I think this is not the correct way to do video streaming in SharePoint 2010. I have found a web part called 'Video and Audio' that does video streaming for you.
However, the thing I am trying to find out here is how the videos are held which I guess should be a video list and by clicking on the items the videos can be played.

I think the SP 2010 Asset library may be what you are looking for. Here's an MVP blog on the topic: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mvpawardprogram/archive/2010/09/20/mvps-for-office-and-sharepoint-2010-managing-images-videos-and-audio-files-with-new-sharepoint-2010-asset-library.aspx
Depending on the volume of video you need to stream and the amount of demand you anticipate, you may be better served building a Microsoft Media Server farm and providing links within SharePoint that redirect to streaming from the MMS farm. That would offload a lot of the processing demand that streaming brings to the table.

@typerracer: The MVP blog link was very useful. Thanks!
With regards to your suggestion of building a 'Microsoft Media Server farm' , could you please elaborate this a bit more. The demand of playing videos in my company is very high and I am just wondering if this will make a bad impact on the performance of the SharePoint server.
Also can you please tell me if SharePoint actually do 'Video Streaming' as I read somewhere that it doesn't instead it stores on the machine and then play. I am very confused with this.
