Out-of-the-box, SharePoint 2010 provides a library for the management of rich media but, as you can see in the feature comparison chart below, Bamboo SharePoint Video Library allows you a greater range of features and controls to present training and presentation material within SharePoint... all with no client-side installation required. Only have SharePoint Foundation 2010? No problem, Video Library is supported on both SharePoint Foundation and SharePoint Server 2010!
