The first ever user made Minecraft video is MISSING

Greetings, I am the owner of the Lost Minecraft Media Miners (LMMM). We are a community dedicated to preserving missing Minecraft videos, with a current focus on the first ever Minecraft video. Labelled Minecraft Castle, it was built and recorded by a user called "Evil-Ville on May 17th 2009.

When talking about the "first ever" Minecraft video. Most people think of Cave Game Tech Test, well that is the first Minecraft video, in technical terms. For this though, I am talking about the very first user made Minecraft video. Most people would say it would be a video simply labelled "minecraft" made by someone called jwaap on May 17th 2009. But what if I told you there was a video made even earlier? If you go on the original Tigsource thread, or look at some old Tigsource IRC logs, you would see that there was a video made even earlier. In fact, not even on 0.0.11a, which is what the jwaap videos are of. Minecraft Castle is the only known video (and likely the only to have ever been made) of Minecraft version 0.0.9a.

Now we come to you guys, when thinking about how I could create interest in this, I thought of coming to reddit, trying to make as many people aware of this as possible!

There's a few main theories on how we could recover the video, the main is related to web caching and that Youtube could have cached atleast the thumbnail in a browser directory somewhere, the main hope though is that someone out there was archiving Minecraft videos from very very early. And if they do have it, they likely don't know its missing, or even know how important it is!
