Hmm not sure about U-Tube, but you can store images and videos on SQL using Varbinary datatype and if you are using 2008 you can use streaming 🙂

After a cursory web search on the subject, mostly filled with results about YouTube videos that have the word "store" or "storage" in their title, I don't see anything specific readily available. But that was a very cursory search. The technical details section of their Wikipedia entry doesn't have anything to say about it.
So, I don't know how they store stuff.
My best guess is they store files and use a database to index and manage the files, but the files are not "in the database" directly.
