    I was able to recreate what you needed using SL videos. When I tried with your file, it wouldn't let me. I'm wondering if it's something to do with the videos. However, I was able to make it work using transparent shapes as button sets. Also, in your file under video options, I wasn't able to deselect the "pause on click" option. Weird. Hope this helps.

One way: on Video 1, add Triggers that say "Pause media n when user clicks Video 1". N goes from 2 to 4 for the three triggers.

Do the same for each of the four videos, essentially saying "Pause all the other videos when the user clicks this one."

    If you were to upload a .story file here (it can contain just that one slide) people could probably fix it in short order.

        Here's a version that works. Note: it doesn't rewind the videos. If you look at what I did with triggers, you should be able to figure out how to rewind them (if you want that behavior). If not, ask.
