Lesson 00: Mini-lesson: Applying Patches to Core
Another in the Quick and Dirty series that shows how to use the command line to apply, reverse and test a patch for Drupal core. Anyone, even folks with no coding experience at all, can help test patches. The video is available in .mov and .mp4 formats and is 12 minutes in length. For more info on applying patches make sure to read the Patches section of the Drupal handbook.
This also goes well with add1sun's previous lesson on patch rolling.

Add1sun sez:
"Hey all, I created a little video on how to roll patches the other night when I had an easy patch to do. It is not the best quality since I didn't really plan it out ahead of time but folks new to patching may find it helpful. I also wanted to show you don't have to be patching "code" but that you can also do patches for documentation. It has been added to the Patches section of the Handbook since you really should read the patch documentation and not just watch the vid. ;)
Here is a direct link to the Handbook page: Video: how to patch. We also have a torrent for it thanks to Shaal (it is 26 MB):
