  • Empires: Egypt's Golden Empire
  • Ken Burns' Jazz (a documentary series)
  • New York: A Documentary Film (the first three episodes; these were later recycled for the series The American Experience)
  • United States Armed Forces commercials
  • The War, possibly the definitive World War II documentary in recent years
  • WWE documentaries and DVDs, for which David has occasionally narrated.
