I think it's called "Powers of 10"

I know the one you mean now. Part of it was used in a nano technology lecture to convey just how small nano scale was. If you find it be sure to come back with a link.

Yes, Powers of Ten is the video that demonstrates both extremes on the numberline, left and right of zero. It's often the standard video that's often shown in Physics classes.

I have found a clip:
**broken link removed**

But it does not seem impressive! Can somebody suggest a better view or another clip please?

Also, quite similar is 'Cosmic Zoom'.

Don't we have Carl Sagan to thank for this?
Watch the movie Contact.
The intro is... perfect. Most of the rest of the movie is as damn well near perfect as I can imagine it as well. It's a great story, good science and should make even the most hardass person think for a moment =) Very different from the book, but they're both in the same spirit.

Which one has the sizes of stars in relation to each other?

One of them has back ground music that absolutely rocks!
