I am  surprised, with his conclusion, that the video is Edited using Philips  editing software and Never Came from the mobile phone since video is  using an Optical Zoom which is not available in Any mobile Camera that  is available to date. To me, video editing is so obvious that all it needs is to look into  the video end to see more than one video layer, and audio is also not  synchronized in with the video as indicated by the previous Channel 4  video.... The technical foot print is identical on both videos  indicating it is edited by the same software and by the same idiot. Also Mr. Jeff S. Spivack is now giving different and conflicting  answers but avoiding the main criticism that video is edited using a PC  and he uses childish or dishonest analysis saying rudimentary editing  possible on a mobile phone cannot do this type of a video... Who is he  kidding? At one part he says the video is edited using Philips software and  using a PC and other part he said it cannot be done with the mobile  phones editing applications.... How does he answer Mr Grant Frederick’s  analysis saying these are high quality video that came from a Video  Camera? What can he say about 17 frames of video that is inconsistent with  the original video? This anomaly was created by a new video wrapper that  try to create from original video camera to the mobile video format and  if you work in this area you know why this happened, except Mr. Grant  says he does not know why it happened? It will be cheaper that, UN hire  clowns since only clowns speak like that. To me these are what I call hired guns with an agenda but I would not  dignify these people saying they are experts in video. They are experts  in downright incompetence or dishonesty that can be bought for 30  pieces of silver.... My technical conclusion that was done with the previous and the  present video is almost identical to Mr Grant Frederick’s analysis Meanwhile the Ministry of Defense commenting on this faked video said  that the tiger terrorists possessed uniforms of Sri Lankan Army  personnel having overrun Sri Lankan army installations in the past,  which they donned to carry out atrocities against their own Tamil people  and other ethnicities. It is not surprising to use these uniforms and  killing their own innocent Tamil civilians by the tiger terrorists to  get a mileage in the propaganda front against the Sri Lankan’s state and  the paid agents of the terrorists adopting this kind of propaganda  material at the best of the vested interest who make every attempt to  revive tiger terrorism in any form or means once again. -    Asian Tribune -<a href="http://www.asiantribune.com/news/2011/06/16/forensic-expert-digital-video-proves-channel-4-video-sri-lanka-fake" target="_blank">Link</a></blockquote>
