I would recommend against using frames -- they're inaccessible not only to screenreaders but search engine spiders don't like them as well.

To update a portion of a page without refreshing the entire page, you should use AJAX -- asynchronous javascript, xhtml and css. There are a gazillion AJAX frameworks out there that are essentially different libraries of Javascript that can accomplish this for you. The learning curve on developing good AJAX applications is considerable though, so for your purposes I would specifically recommend using a script from Dynamic Drive. It basically allows you to load different HTML files, each containing the markup for your different videos.

Hope this helps.
