Help building a Youtube type site

[DezUk]

I have an idea for a video site I want to build but don't really know where to start. I want it to be like Youtube so:

• Able to search
• Able to Upload videos
• Able to record your on video from webcam
• Categorize videos

Are there any scripts out there that I can use to get this project of the ground?

Yeah I am not really bothered about all the ins and outs of that just now. I just want to get a prototype up and running of my idea then start to think about the hosting plans etc.

So what can you suggest as a system to get me started?
