Here is the youtube link Ascent - Commemorating Shuttle - YouTube.
There is also an iPad app (search for NASA Ascent) that has the video on it which is a much better way to view it.
The footage from all the engineering cameras is slowed down up to 16 times (i.e. 16 seconds of viewing equals one second). Some of the footage is made up of DSLR shots, taken at 400 frames per second....
There's a really interesting commentary too, casually dropping in the fuel burn in tonnes per second, in the same manner of factness that I would measure the Disco's fuel burn. :o
It's long, but worth it.
