Take a look at VideoLAN. This is a great software for streaming and does have an http option.

Microsoft has Microsoft Media Services on the 2003 server edition that you can run. We use it in house to host DVD and other video for training purposes. We use conversion software to make them WMV and then publish the MMS link it creates. Hope this helps give you some ideas.
