I'm not really sure what you're asking, but it sort of sounds like you described YouTube or Vimeo.

The only possible way I can see this happening, is if you ran a web server on your PC, and then could link to it from said website, or just hosted that website on your PC. I wouldn't do that unless I had an actual dedicated PC for doing this, and I would lock it down so only you would be able to access it.

In addition to the requirements of running a web server on your PC, you also have to consider the fact that your network has to be up and functional, as well as the requirements for a bandwidth. for example, many people these days have high speed internet at their home. However, its asyncronous with regards to the downlaod/upload pipe. Traffic leaving your network is limited by the amount of upload speed they give you. It could be possibly 10x less than your download speed. To get a video off of your PC and out through your network connection may be very slow, especically if you have more than one person trying to access that video.
