I have a site with several pages, each of which has a video. The videos are 1 - 2 mb in size. Is it possible to stop the FLV playback component automatically buffering all the videos? I would prefer it if users had to click play to start the buffering, and have them wait a few seconds, rather than have them download all the videos, which they may or may not watch (I’m thinking of bandwidth issues here).

Thanks.
