The basic question is:
What exactly is requested?
- hosting the video files themselves (and give the user the option to
download the original source, provide the option to add substitles in
various languages, etc.)
or
- just embedd videos from youtube, myvideo, vimeo,..

For the first option, I'd probably go with
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TimedMediaHandler
..

Nah, that opens the door to all kinds of nasty stuff…..

Indeed.

For embedding, I'd probably go with
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Widgets and the corresponding
platform-specific widgets
