Probably easiest searching for a youtube clone George, there are a few decent ones all with server requirements you might not get on shared hosting though.

http://clip-bucket.com and http://phpmotion.com are 2 you could look at though.

I found a good working one. Problem is, it doesnt work with shared hosting.
result, george i think we finally found one of your probs we can solve :d
George,
Yes, you will want to use whatever conversion software you have, not Clipbucket. Depending on the file types your videos are already in, you might not have to do anything. Jwplayer supports .mp4, .m4v, .f4v, .mov, .webm, .flv, and .ogv. As long as your files are in one of those formats, you won't need to convert anything.
It's very easy to install. I haven't used the playlists in a while, so that's something you would have to look at, but the video I did above with jwplayer took literally 5 seconds to do. You upload 2 files to your website, and add a few lines of code to the HTML page, and you're done. http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/
There are a lot of free players out there that will do exactly the same thing, but I've always found jwplayer to be fairly simple and straight-forward.
The file should come with a file called "JW Player Quick Start Guide". It's a .pdf file and will give a basic idea of what you need to do. Samples of code to use are in there.
You can do 1 .html page for each video, or create a playlist. In the videos I uploaded last night, I just did an html page for each video, as I only uploaded 2 of them, and wanted something quick and easy. I didn't bother with playlists or anything. But with playlists, you could basically use 1 html page to display all the videos.
