Scott, I don't know where this video was taken or anything else about it other than it is pretty trick.  I would guess the engine was a single cylinder with one plug per cylinder.  I would also guess there was quartz lenses embedded into the combustion chamber for capturing the video.  I wish we could watch it frame by frame and see the flame kernel develop as that is pretty trick as well.  I was surprised to see the visible flame as well.  From what I have seen in the past, the combustion was so intense, flickers of apparent flame were not visible.

The more interesting question is whether the video camera was placed into the second spark plug hole?  If so, the ignition event wouldn't be a true picture although the "swirl" might be the same.  Still an interesting video.
