Questions about my website

This may be sitewhoring but I don't know any other way to ask my questions without showing you what I mean.
1. I have a website where I have multiple quicktime videos embedded. When the page loads, all the videos load. I want the videos NOT to load until the viewer pushes the play button. How do I do that?
I have the attribute to get them not to PLAY automatically, but is there a way not to get them to even LOAD automatically? Because I don't want someone to come to the site and it starts loading hundreds of megs of videos before they even know what's happening.
2. The videos I have embedded are ones that I rendered out of Final Cut at a native resolution of 640x360 specifically for this site. They look great. For some other videos, I didn't have the foresight to do that, and all I have are 1920x1080 videos that I used to YouTube. That's why some of the videos are embedded in Quicktime, and others are YouTube. I don't want some of this and some of that.
At this point, all I could do is put the 1920x1080 video back into Final Cut and re-render it at 640x360. Will that hurt the visual quality? I'm thinking it will. Kind of like making a copy of a copy. Unfortunately I deleted all the original files like an idiot so I can't go back and re-render these at 640x360 like I want to.
Anyway, the site is here: www.allenartsmedia.com
Click on videography and you should see what I mean immediately.
Also, I'm working on figuring out how to get images to represent the movies until the viewer plays them, so don't worry about that (unless you've got solid advice on how to do it).
My wife and I have basically made this site from scratch with no knowledge about anything website related, so that's why I don't even know these basic things.

As for javascript, great. I have no idea how to do that. Thanks, though.
