I have seen and read all the info from these two links and there are still no videos of Rachmaninov anywhere in the world (I don't think). I have searched for years and never found any. Somewhere I read that he was too shy to be recorded by video, playing, because he felt his performances were not always as good as his reputation serves.
Ayway - no videos.

Yes, there is, I just recently saw one but I returned it to my piano teacher. Its in black and white and he plays pieces by chopin and stuff. I loved the video! I'll post again if I remember what it was called

"Rachmaninoff" was in it

  I'm sorry, but this is impossible.

I agree with Koji - Kaiwin is wrong - there are no video of Rachmaninov - end of story.

  Technically, there IS a video, but not of him playing.
