Actually deleted this file when I first got my PB thinking it was something that would reload itself when I wiped or updated to a new OS... forgotten about this until reading this and I guess it would be a nice demo video to show the display of the PB. Thanks for putting this up!
Ok, so I downloaded this video and put it into the videos directory. Turned on demo mode using the password "instoredemo", but after the PB goes into standby it doesn't play... what am I missing? The filename is pb_hidef_demo.mp4
I have no idea what happens if you run the pb in demo mode. The video though is playable in the Video app and have great scenes that show the screen of the pb being pretty super.

Ok, but how do you activate the automated demo mode? I heard setting it into demo mode and letting the device go into standby would activate it, but it doesn't for me. I have the video in the videos directory and filename is pb_hidef_demo.mp4. What else am I missing?
I don't know if there are any other links but I thought there was more than just that one.
But if you are really desperate, if you backup fully and RELOAD the OS, the video will be restored to the pb. How did you lose it? A Security Wipe for some reason removes it but does not restore it.
I copied the original video (3:00 not the shorter version) from playbook to my computer hard drive, after seeing other people having to wipe etc to get it back.

I am not sure about how the demo mode works, but I can tell you that I had renamed the file to pb_hidef_demo.mp4 to make it easy to copy (removed spaces), the original name of the file should be the same as the title of the video. If you play the video it shows the title, I think it is Playbook HiDef Demo.mp4 or something.
The megaupload (?) Site has seemingly been shutdown by a USA security taskforce.... Ohoh
I had done a search for the demo video for future use, since I had been demoing a 32gb London drugs unit (and fd the video folder empty) for someone who was chatting with a salesperson....from whom I kind of yook over when I overheard her leaning more towards the overpriced stuff..... Especially when they had 32s available at $150. Plus the person had a co supplied bb phone....... So I did what I could to enlighten with my Ltd knowledge of the PB
