Are you referring specifically to hosting services or to the software used to edit and publish video? There are hundreds of open source video editing tools. Most of them are not as user friendly as apps like Final Cut and Adobe Premiere, but they are free. Apps like WordPress and Broadcast Machine make their source available for server side implementation although you need some coding skills to improve/enhance the feature sets. The only real limitation is an individual's ability to make use of the stuff currently available. If you know how to make changes, the configurable tools are out there. If you don't know how to make changes, you're much better off with the commercial solutions because most of them have been through years of product development. None of the concepts behind video blogging are new - affordable tools make it compelling at this point.
