They are using flash video. The hardest part will be converting all of your videos to .flv format. www.gotoandlearn.com has some good tutorials. Riva FLV 2.0 Encoder can encode most videos.

You would need to know how to create elements with javascript. You would need to know how to embed flash video. If you don't know Flash, Dreamweaver 8 comes with built in flash video players. You also need to convert the videos so can you do this at the current level you are at? Probably not, but I remember writing something similar. Let me see if I can find it. Here it is

It uses a flash mp3 player but the concept is the same. You can use the swf file Dreamweaver 8 creates for you and you can pass videos to the swf file. If I remember correctly contentPath is the variable you need to set so something like
http://urltoflash.swf?contentPath=video.flv
