It was google video.

<embed id=VideoPlayback src=http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=1543831119879192379&hl=en&fs=true style=width:400px;height:326px allowFullScreen=true allowScriptAccess=always type=application/x-shockwave-flash> </embed>

Well, on the web at least. I've googled for that particular video and can't find it. Is it an old link or a video stored on your computer?

I simply replaced the docid from your link in a video I brought up with a quick Google Videos search using the option to limit results to Google.com.

ETA: You can also just use the docid number (1543831119879192379) as a search term in a Google Videos search to bring up the video and then copy the link into a post here.
