Stanford's undergraduate Algorithms course (CS161) covering the design and analysis of algorithms and data structures. Recordings were available through Stanford's OpenClassroom site, as the comment notes.

One commenter simply calls it a great class, a brief endorsement without detail.

    I wish they had the new 107 on there. It's a very different course now (all C and assembly). Unfortunately the Stanford Center for Professional Development does most of the video taping now and is very resistive to putting videos online because they make something like $1k from people who pay just to watch the videos and $5k from people who are officially enrolled and get exams and assignments and such.

    Luckily, there are some newer recordings at http://openclassroom.stanford.edu/MainFolder/HomePage.php

    I hear 161 (Algorithms) is a great class. 229 (Machine Learning) is supposed to be pretty good too.
