HAHA, I think I stared at that without moving until the whole thing was done. I had known the theory/seen diagrams/etc., but to actually see it is awesome! Thanks!

i just think its amazing that whole process happens in like thousandths of milliseconds. im wondering why after the ignition the intake valve edge looks like it ignites. would this be an example of a hot spot or does it just look like its igniting in the video? i wish there was more info on the video like what kind of motor that is, how many RPM its running at.

Thats awesome 
would it be cool to see the same point of view but when the engine is over-revved, and your engine blew

I would guess its because of the fuel particles that may still be on there from when it let it in.

would detonation be the flame hitting the piston and pushing it down before it reaches the top?

detonation is when the air/fuel mix ignites without the help of the spark plug

Damn, pretty crazy.
A friend of mine's boss has an infrared camera, that's pretty interesting to use. You can just film a random group of people, and see who's farting, and then call them on it, haha.
He said the most interesting thing, is filming an engine on start up. Since the rest of the components are still cold, the flame is the first thing you see in each cylinder. Then everything warms up and it all looks the same.

Repost . Still, very cool video. I think that is a Subaru engine. I remember someone mentioning it the first time I saw this posted. Amazing how fast that process actually is.

Yep its the fuel vaporizing as it enters the chamber
