For streaming, I wouldn't waste any time at all on Helix server.  
Apple's Darwin Streaming Server is a much better choice.  It is free and 
offers most of the functionality of Quicktime Streaming Server.  It runs 
just fine on CentOS 4/5.  For encoding, ffmpeg works well.  For cutting 
up video there are a few options.  The one with the best feature set is 
Cinelerra.  If you've got access to a Windows box (or emulation of one), 
Virtualdub is also a good/cheap/functional editor.

Cheers,
