You could also try using WinDirStat. It'll show all your files as colored rectangles. Bigger rectangles will show bigger files. On the right, you'll have a list of extensions. This way you'll be able to select all files of certain type by clicking on their extension on the right and graphically see their size.

+1 True, this would be a good overview to know where everything is. The only problem is that this takes long to scan and consumes a lot of memory... – Tom Wijsman Jul 25 '10 at 18:19
@TomWij: True, but you usually only need to do it once, then you know where stuff is... – sleske Jul 25 '10 at 19:43

The regular Windows Vista search can do that, just search for video filetypes. Another great and quick alternative is Everything from voidtools. You can use filters like *.avi to narrow files down to just AVI for example.

Use Everything and search for the following:

*.3gp | *.avi | *.flv | *.mkv | *.mov | *.mpg | *.rm | *.vob | *.wmv

Or only list the file extensions that you think it could be, I listed the most popular.

Movies tend to be big so you could sort on the size column to get them together...
