Could be wrong but I'm not sure if you can do this with javascript as the file would have to be loaded from the server and therefore some server side code would be your best bet for this (ASP, PHP etc...)!

The only other way I can think of doing this is embed each video into seperate divs and then make these visible/hidden on selection. This option however involves loading all the files on load of the page and will be very inefficient!

Cheers

Nick
