videos on main page

My issue is that the videos play automatically instead of waiting for a user to click play. Since the playlist plays one after the other, if you browse to autosport.com and wander off for a coffee or some such, you get hit for bandwidth use you are not actually using.
I know it's probably not that much (several hundred mb at most?) but over time this adds up, and as someone who visits autosport multiple times per week I'm sure it's affecting my internet bill.
Is it possible to have the videos static on first load and only playing at the click of the play button please.
Thanks.

I don't advocate blocking adverts, but with so much video embedded in web pages these days (often with sound enabled by default) you need flashblock or something like it to avoid constant annoyance.

If you use Firefox, do yourself a favour and install the Flashblock add-on. This replaces Flash objects on pages with the flash logo. You can then click on the logo if you want to actually view the thing instead the browser downloading everything as soon as you hit the page. You can "whitelist" pages and sites where you don't want to have to click every time like youtube.

thanks, I've been using adblock to block autosport.tv out. i'll give flashblock a chance.
edit: works like a charm!
