A good video to explain version control?

Does anyone know where I can find a good video to explain version control to someone (mainly subversion)?

One that explains it in the simplest terms (like for someone who has never heard of version control before).

(not for me, its for a fellow coder)

Explain version control to someone in what position? Explaining to your CIO to invest in it? Explaining to fellow devs what the benefits are? Explaining to preschoolers? – Rubble 25/6, 2009 at 15:50

@Rubble Okay so I'm explaining it to a 14 year old. @Evan No offense chief... – Tingly 25/6, 2009 at 15:57

I think a really simple video that explains the concept is needed. Not a screen cast. This twitter video is a good example. – Stotts 13/9, 2011 at 7:0

and
