I think the other one is in HD and may not run smoothly on a slow computer/connection.
There are two versions of this ad. The link above is the evangelical Christian one.
This link below is the Catholic version.

This is the website of the couple who first came up with this concept. I saw them interviewed on EWTN.

The Story of the Test of Fire
The thought of making a video came to us as a sudden inspiration from a friend. Though we had little knowledge of the video-making process, the idea made sense, and so we contacted our videographer friends at Creative Lab. We wanted a video that would powerfully communicate the non-negotiable issues of life, marriage, and religious liberty.
Excited at the prospect, Jeremy from Creative Lab agreed and got to work right away. A few days later Jeremy emailed us a script. We loved it immediately. The script described a blacksmith in his forge and iron words in the fire.
Jeremy, this is great! we told him on the phone.
We heard a sigh of relief on the other end of the line. Im so glad you liked it. The idea came to me in a dream! Jeremy explained that he had received the inspiration for the video while he slept, and when he awoke he hurriedly wrote down the dream. His idea was very specific, very vivid, and he knew it was from the Lord.
But, he continued, there is one problem. We need a nineteenth century-style blacksmith and his forge. Our area is not known for nineteenth century anything. Right away, our friend Rick came to mind, though, as the one who might know if any 1800′s-looking blacksmiths lived anywhere nearby. But it turned out that Rick did not know of anyone who fit that description. He promised to keep his eyes open, but it looked like a door may have closed. The next day our brother-in-law, Doug, called and exclaimed, I found your blacksmith! I found your blacksmith! Strange, we thought, because we had never told anyone but Rick about our search for a forger. But the Lord knew of our search, and He tied the pieces together. Doug had been to see Rick that afternoon about another matter, and the conversation had turned toward Dougs friend Steve, who has an old-fashioned home and a barn and a blacksmith shed that looks like something out of the 1800′s.
There's more at the link.

That worked (I had to re-install a new modem anyway, so I wasn't sure until the new one was in place).
Thanks!
