In general, it strongly depends on what you want to get in the end. I've always done this kind of thing with erlyvideo as a video server because I know Erlang and I can stuff some business logic inside the broadcast server - chat, user presence, notifications, "calls". Everything that requires long-running connections to the server is shifted inside the Erlang VM.
In general, a video server can be any, of course - it depends on the language in which you want to write custom modules to it.
