I need a soloution for video playback and display for media site and need guidance

Permalink
I have taught myself how to use concrete5 over the past 8 months and have started building a site for local Canadian musicians and artists to showcase their work and collaborate with each other. My problem is that I would like to have a setup with category's and I am having difficulty's finding something that works. I have attached a file showing the video page and would like something similar except that the way it is now has extremely long load times. I figure that either I change the videos to only load when in fullscreen mode, after being clicked on, except I don't know how to accomplish this. Secondly it would be ideal to achieve this same category layout with a flash player like this onehttp://www.longtailvideo.com/addons/plugins/135/The-Grid?q=... This setup would be awesome but again I'm lost on how to achieve this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

You can always hard code div tags and extra content in the HEAD section pointing at any javascript you need to make it work. Between the opening closing closing div tags add your php code to allow editable content.

Or (as I do) get the video served from an external site such as YouTube or Vimeo. So the files are hosted here and your site just has the embed code that these sites provide.

Just put the code for the player on a separate template and make it a page type in C5.
