It is possible to stop and play event video with a separate button, so long as you are publishing to HTML5.

Execute JS action for pause:

document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].pause();

Execute JS action for play:

document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].play();

Button that pauses the event video...

On your help button Advanced Action (for open), add in an action of Execute Javascript, using "current" window and paste in:

document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].pause();

No, stopping a video by Captivate control is only possible with multi-slide synchronized video. Event video plays totally independent from Captivate. Maybe this article is worth reading:
