Found at David Pogue's Posts, this is a formerly internal Microsoft video that asks the question, "What if Microsoft were designing the packaging for an iPod?" The results must be seen.

It is very nicely done, but it was actually created by some Microsoft guys.

Does anyone know of a good (read that as "easy") way of converting that video to mpg format? I have a spoof DVD that this specific video would be perfect on...

mplayer can do it. Perhaps somebody else can post the specific flags for it.

Edit: something like this:

mencoder MSIpodParody.avi -ovc copy -oac copy -o MSIpodParody.mpg


Cheers

Do you mean you can't download it from google video or watch it ? I can still watch it there.
