The first one is different from the other 2. First one uses real video, converted to FLV (you can grab the FLV file from your browser cache). Or grab it here: http://www.dv3productions.com/E2IT/E2IT_INTRO_w_audio7.flv
The others are more powerpoint-type animations, which you can either create in Flash (using the timeline and streaming sound) or use one of the many tools out there to create these kind of presentations.
