I thought I could use ming to create a video player on the fly but I
couldn't find an RPM for it nor do I have time to get libming.so to work
with PHP. So I did some quick googling and I found this flash player:
http://www.jeroenwijering.com/extras/wizard.html
It claims it's able to display any media format, but so far I can't get
anything other than FLV files to play. Aside from that it's very easy to
set up and very configurable. As for media formats I'll just try to
automate ffmpeg to convert other formats to .FLV.

Somebody in the thread at some point said:
Darwin Streaming Server

I've heard it mentioned frequently but have no personal experience
It's Apple but it's open source, it does Quicktime and and mpeg-4. If the
OP
must stream avi/Xvid, this is not going to work for him, but, if he's not
wedded to avi/Xvid, this bears a closer look
My understanding is that during the battle between the streaming
proprietaryware over the last decade there was one very clear winner:
flash / .flv.
If you can transcode your source to .flv, the vast bulk of viewers will
be able to eat it with their browser without additional installation of
anything other than the flash they already have.
