I surveyed 58 Wikimedians that visited Wikimania 2014, and asked them which single session they thought you should definitely watch on video, if you weren't there. First of all, the responses were all over the place - many good sessions. Far from scientifically accurate, but there were apparently a few more popular than all the others (only counting recorded sessions). I tried to look up which videos are already available, so here they are - please add links where videos are missing:

Maryana Pinchuk & Steven Walling, "Creative ways to alienate women online: a how-to guide for Wikipedians" (7 votes): "Diversity I" video not yet available.
Raph Koster, "Wikipedia is a Game" (6 votes): Featured speakers V on livestream (slides)
Tobias Lutzi, "Which law applies to Wikipedia" (4 votes): Free Culture II on youtube
Dimitar Dimitrov (Panel Discussion), "Liquid Lobbying - how should Wikimedia advocate for free knowledge?" (3 votes): "Free Culture VI" video not yet available.

2 mentions

And there are a few that did well too, with two votes each, worth an honorable mention:

Nicole Ebber, "The state of Wikimedia - a movement dialogue": "Wikimedia II" video not yet available

Andrew Lih et al. (panel discussion), "We need to talk about paid editing... sorting out Wikipedia's most enduring argument": "Social Machines XII" video not yet available.
