I commented before on Discovery's July 4th return to flight launch. Here's a new composite video of the launch, with views from cameras on the Solid Rocket Boosters (those white rockets that are jettisoned first), and a view from the External Tank (the big red thing that they've been having all that foam trouble on).
I like this video because of the perspective it gives on all three of the jettisoned pieces of the launch. Too bad there isn't a fourth view from somewhere on the shuttle.
If you get bored, make sure you fast forward to about 7.5 minutes in to see the SRBs splashdown (watch for the parachute's shadow on the ocean), and then watch the rest to see the ET jettison.
