I've been browsing around Google and I couldn't find much on this, but is there a program like gallery but designed for videos, I know gallery supports some videos, but I'm looking for something that has video as its main handle? |

It all depends on the content, i guess. G2 can be used for video, as a good example:

thats head on of what I'm looking for, this may be a repeat question, but is there any good tutorial on how to get the video functions going like that? the only thing I read on gallery site was installing ffmpeg

What aspects are you wondering about?
it uses a stock theme with some css customizations.
ffmpeg to generate the thumbnails.

the main feature I like about that is the overall structure of it, how there is the main page with each video and then when you click on each video you get a progressive download player and a section that talks about the video. I al wonder what formats the player accepts

All stock G2 with some css changes.
That is where it get a bit complex......
It is up to the client browser to render the player.
'Most' browsers will render flash movies in the same way. However if you have, lets say a .wmv file, it might not have a player in the browser the client is using, so the users experience will be different depending on the clients browser/OS/plugins. ( windows media player/ real player / etc )
So the best way for a better end user experience is to encode/trans-code your movies to FLV.

Install gallery.
choose a theme and color pack that is similar to waht you are after:
http://themes.gallery2.hu/
use that theme and colorpack. use FF and the dev tool to assist in color changes:

ask specific questions on what you want to do.
