The DAMP package looks great!
The functionality I'm interested in is the New (as opposed to Classic) picker that is shown in the screencast. However, when I install the two packages available right now (2.0 and 2.0 Samples), neither has the DAMP-New Data type.
The other samples are cool, but not what I'm looking for right now.
What version of Umbraco are you installing this fine package on? If I remember correctly the new datatype is not available in some version...can't quite remember if it's from v4.5 and up it's available or if it's in even newer Umbraco versions.
The DAMP classic and new datatypes where part of the DAMP 1.0 package. I removed them from DAMP 2.0 because everybody started to use those datatypes while they where only meant as examples. I moved those over to the DAMP 2.0 Samples package so people could still use them, but as a separate download. DAMP is just the render control (what we call property editor in v5) and you need to create the datatypes yourself. You can just create a new datatype which has all the settings as the DAMP new datatype from 1.0. You could also modify one of the DAMP 2.0 Samples datatypes to use the normal Image media type instead of a custom one. You could also change the DAMP classic to store the full media xml instead of the id. You can still only select 1 images, but it's easier to use in Razor or XSLT.
Data Types from 1.0

Is there a way to get the Data types from 1.0?
Thanks :)

I'm on Umbraco v. 4.7.1.

Maybe my talk about DAMP at the Umbraco UK festival can also help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkcObL7CMvQ
