If you just want to play them then there is no special hardware, they
are just files for the user to download. If you want to embed them into
your page you need to choose a player(s) and encoder(s)(all free). If
you want to do what they did at the Beatles site (oh my gawd they used
flash) you have to use flash and import the video into the flash. and
if you are going to have high bandwidth, then you will want to look into
a media server (not free) so you can have control over your video and
streaming.

If you want to make your own clips you'll need a capture card & some good
software. I recommend Pinnacle 8--

I've had nothing but good fortune with it, very easy to use & produces
excellent results, and fast, as well as being able to make clips in multiple
formats, streaming video included.
Stay away from any of the VideoWave programs though, they're buggy junk.
