High performance flv-streaming with lighttpd is possible since lighttpd 1.4.11.
With lighty you can easily handle 10000 parallel downloads of your movies including protection against hot-linking with mod_secdownload. This is basicly all you need to build the free video.google.com for yourself.
Just add this you your lighttpd.conf and restart the server:
server.modules = ( ..., "mod_flv_streaming", ... ) flv-streaming.extensions = ( ".flv" )

GET /movie.flv?start=23 HTTP/1.1 Host: ...
