you might want to take a look at Silverlight. I remember seeing a demo at the Remix convention about several video clips being play simulatenously on a webpage. Go to http://www.silverlight.net

Edit:
Here is a tutorial which explains how to use Silverlight and streaming videos via webpage
http://aspalliance.com/1342_Streaming_a_Silverlight_Media_Application_from_Silverlight_Live#Page5

In particular go to the section titled " Invoke multiple video files from a single web page" which is the answer you are seeking.

Silverlight rocks when it comes to media streaming.

It doesn't expose properties that you can natively hook into through C#. The properties are all controlled through HTML using the PARAMS and EMBED tag on the object. Here's an example:

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400" id="superflashMovie"><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="superflashMovie.swf"><PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high><PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF><EMBED src="/support/flash/ts/documents/superflashMovie.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="500" HEIGHT="350" NAME="superFlashMovie" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED></OBJECT>

Well, the only way that I can think (off the top of my head) to do this would be to use javascript to play the next movie in a sequence after a period of time. Assume that you've given the Flash object an id of "mySecondMovie", you could do this to trigger the movie:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">
<!--
var secs
var id = null
var isTimerRunning = false
var delay = 1000 // 1 second

function InitializeTimer()
{
    // Set the length of the timer, in seconds
    secs = 15 // The length of the first movie in seconds.
    StopTimer()
    StartTimer()
}

function StopTimer()
{
    if(isTimerRunning)
        clearTimeout(id)
    isTimerRunning = false
}

function StartTimer()
{
    if (secs==0)
    {
        StopTimer()
        playMySecondMovie()
    }
    else
    {
        self.status = secs
        secs = secs - 1
        isTimerRunning = true
        id = self.setTimeout("StartTimer()", delay)
    }
}

function playMySecondMovie()
{
  if (document.mySecondMovie)
  {
    if (document.mySecondMovie.Play)
      document.mySecondMovie.Play();
  }
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Then, in your body onload, you would call InitializeTimer.

Thanks for it. but how can i calculate the length of the first movie. Is there any event occures at the end of Video clip? so that I can check it?

Not that I'm aware of. Mind you, if you have the flash itself, you could always call the javascript to play the next movie using an ActionScript command:

getUrl("javascript:playNextPage();")

Then, you would implement the playNextPage javascript in your page to play the next movie as outlined above.

Mark the object with runat="server".

Sorry but it didn't worked. I'll show u my code.

<%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="Video.WebForm1" %>

<title>WebForm1

<object id="Player" runat="server" width="425" height="350" viewastext=""><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5Uahw5BU9N8" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5Uahw5BU9N8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" />

Now, Player is the object id of object i hav created in Html tags. I want this object to be accessed in Code behind, like Textbox or Label or Button etc objects can be accessed there.
