Heh. I was more or less right, but finding the actual video, it is not what I remembered! I thought the view was more or less downward, with the lunar landscape passing by.

Not it! They are looking towards the rim, and mention the sunrise there, but they are heading towards the darkside from their POV, and make substantial progress towards it during the reading, so that we are looking past the terminator at the dark side beyond by the end.

Very crude video!

... and Merry Christmas to all!

As I recall, the actual video was high quality for the time, but was converted to a lower res version for TV broadcast (the version on NASA’s site). Later, the original was lost or deliberately destroyed along with many Apollo-era lunar original Hasselblad negatives and videos to make room for ‘other things’ and to ‘save money’.
