I remember being converted with a "The Case for D" article.
A bit
outdated, but still good. It gave a nice overview of a
target vision
with no overly specific details. Maybe there have been some
presentation
videos based on it?
How about "Three unexpected..."

Yeah, that one is a good one because it's a good length and it
talks about
some nice D specifics in relation to general programming
concerns/goals :)
It is currently my top contender.. assuming I only get to pass
on 1 video
and no-one comes back with something I like even more. :p

I would like to quote Bjarne Stoustrup on that matter: "There are
only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and
the ones nobody uses".
