you can launch two instances of mplayer with -wid (see manual), where
one window is visible, and the other is hidden, while both occupy the
same area on the screen. you pause the hidden one using a slave mode
command. after the event you show the other window, hide the main one
and unpause. after the other video finishes, do the opposite.
