Microsoft have some not bad ones available.

I've got some of the manufacturer demo reels (Philips Air Show type stuff you see in the shops) they look awesome!!

Any of those MS ones have good fast motion? I'd like to drop a couple on to a thumb drive and go test drive the tv's I'm interested in at Harvey Norman... and test the media playback via usb at the same time!

Did the same when i bought, but i loaded up a popcorn hour with various times of videos, SD, HD, DVD etc.

You might find that the USB layback is pretty limited, ie. probably limited to xvid only.

both "fighter Pilot" and "The Magic of Flight" have some fast action scenes..as well as stunning colour and picture quality. i guess any of them with fast motion would suffice. :)
