People used to spank new born babies directly after they were born so they could take their first breath so that is why people say "brand spanking new".
The idiom "brand spanking new" originated in the early 20th century and likely comes from the use of "brand" to mean freshly made or new, and "spanking" to emphasize the idea of newness or freshness. It is used to describe something that is completely unused and in pristine condition.
If you really want your videos brand spanking new, you should buy them online in a shop like Amazon. If you buy them in the street, nobody can guarantee you that they really are brand spankling new.
This expression relates to the practice of giving a newborn baby a spank on the buttocks to get them to start breathing. So for something to be "brand spanking new" means that it is so new it was just born and couldn't possibly be any newer.
