Yes. Although at the moment it has a moderator system which means videos
aren't live until a moderator checks and accepts them. Suggestions for
alternative methods welcome.

Agreed.

The site I am working on does the video conversion for you. You just
upload an ogg/avi/whatever and it gets converted (at the moment) to
a .flv video which plays in a browser flash based plugin (yes yes, I
know flash is evil). An alternative might be the java based ogg player,
but I've not looked into that yet.

Cheers,
Al.
