Playing Videos on a website

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a problem I am working through. I am creating a website that has a lot of instructional golf videos. I want 1 video player that plays whichever video is selected from the page, as opposed to having all the video just listed down the page. How can I set up one page with the player instead of creating a bunch of new pages, each having only one video?? Also does anyone have a recommendation for a video player? Thanks!

You could create a list and use JavaScript to set the player's video choice

Thanks, this looks like a really nice player. I am trying to avoid the $99 annual fee. I'm guessing using Javascript it can be accomplished through any player...I'm a beginner at JS so looks like any insight on how to set that up would be great. Thanks!
