Video Forensic Expert

There are many activities of a Video Forensic Expert that help the legal system better understand the truth behind video evidence and court room exhibits.

A Video Forensic Expert helps criminal justice personnel to understand the power, potential, accuracy and inaccuracy of closed circuit television systems (also known as video security systems), police car video footage which often becomes evidence to determine probable cause to understand the truth of an investigation, crime or traffic stop.

A Video Forensic Expert reviews the relevant facts about how a video surveillance system operates in relationship to the video evidence being presented.

The Video Forensic Expert then communicates and interprets the circumstances surrounding those events in the court room as it relates to the evidence or exhibit being presented in an expert witness capacity.

The Video Forensic Expert also helps communicate the difference between analogue and digital video closed circuit television systems as well as each format strength and weakness. Helping courts with litigation that includes video evidence, understand how to handle video evidence should it become necessary and how to preserve the chain of custody for digital and analogue video forensic evidence is standard operating procedure for any Video Forensic Expert.

Closed circuit television and other video recording security systems is a visual assessment tool. Visual Assessment means having proper identifiable or descriptive information during or after an incident or accident.

Personal Identification is another activity that a Video Forensic Expert often assists with. Video is a solution to courts for reexamining a set of circumstances surrounding a crime because it has the ability to provide the viewer a tool to review a sequence of events, beyond a shadow of a doubt. This does not reflect human identification, but rather, the ability to identify specific information or objects within a video image.

Clarification
Often a Video Forensic Expert must provide clarification services to help laypersons better view video footage. Part of this clarification process is done in a video software program. Other times it may become necessary for a Video Forensic Expert to export a frame or several frames for the video evidence and import into another software program to further clarify an image for identification purposes.

Because of the need for accuracy, it is also the duty of a Video Forensic Expert to examine time-lapse video from closed circuit television systems that may exclude important crime scene characteristics.

For example, if using a digital recorder or DVR, with a low image per second frame rate setting may not capture some important images on the video recorder. The lower frame rate setting is desired by many digital CCTV system users to reduce storage requirements of surveillance video on hard drives.

On the Primeau Productions You Tube page, there are video examples of this frame rate scenario.

Improper Use of Video Forensic Evidence
In law enforcement, video recording systems are installed in most police cruisers and help bring accidents, drunk driving and other traffic stop situations and crimes into the court room to be reviewed by lawyers, judges and juries to aid with a more positive and accurate legal outcome.
Law enforcement uses video to exhibit probable cause.

Video Forensic Experts help courts understand video evidence and video evidence admissibility. Often time’s video evidence is improperly used and a Video Forensic Expert assists the court by clarifying details that are not easily understood by laypersons.

An experienced Video Forensic Expert is good at breaking down technical language to a level laypersons can understand so they can make better decisions about the video evidence being presented.

Forensic Questions about Video Evidence
• What do we know about this recording to be true (within a reasonable degree of professional certainty)?
• On what type of equipment was the video recording made?
• Is the original recording of the video available for examination?
• Is the original recording equipment that made the tape also available for examination?

Video Anomalies
The Video Forensic Expert also looks for anomalies in a video recording when authenticating a video recording about to be entered into litigation as evidence or an exhibit.

Anomalies are abnormalities, deviations or “breaks” in the recording process as evidenced on the physical tape or digital video file. These aberrations can impact the legitimacy of a video (digital or analogue) as a piece of legal evidence.

Another form of anomaly as of lately is lack of video footage presented.
A Video Forensic Expert is also responsible in determining if all the relevant video footage is present and complete before the video evidence is used in court. Often times a party engaged in litigation will enter incomplete video evidence in an attempt to alter the relevant facts similarly to altering or modifying the video evidence by editing or other tampering. This is another form of anomaly that a Video Forensic Expert can help identify.

Authentication
Video authentication is an intricate process requiring extensive training, experience and sophisticated tools and equipment. Add ever-changing technological advances and increased use of recording devices by businesses and the general public – and you begin to glimpse the expertise needed by a Video Forensic Expert.

Death of a Video Format
By Ed Primeau and Brandon Keilman

I was standing in line at the Secretary of State last week to renew a license plate and saw a video playing on a flat screen in the lobby. The quality was brilliant; very high quality, rich and robust in every area of sight and sound. The source was produced using high definition video tape and digitally edited and formatted onto Blu-ray DVD.

For a few years now, I have been preaching about the importance of Internet marketing with digital video distribution (which is still very important) while discounting DVD as a worth while marketing tool. The Internet aspect to video still holds true, except we now have to re-look at DVD from a fresh perspective.

There is an ongoing debate over DVD format that is worth understanding so you can apply this medium to your business.

In a knock-out, fall-out battle, Blu-ray DVD is the official champion and High Definition DVD has gone by the wayside, in a similar fashion to consumer grade laser disk and beta. In this article, we hope to clear some of the confusion and explain the impact to you personally as well as on your business.

Let us clarify an important point before we move on. High Definition digital video is a format video cameras record and High Definition DVD is a format of delivery or medium to deliver the video on. High Definition video recording is still the best way to video record. It is High Definition DVD that no longer exists and what this article is about.

Here is how the war was lost:
The Toshiba Company was the main developer and backer (with the support of Microsoft) of what could have been the next “big thing” in video delivery, High Definition DVD. While Microsoft favored the “High Definition DVD” format, Sony favored the Blu-ray DVD format.
Blue Ray was and is supported by many different companies including Sony as the next “big thing” in video formatting. High Definition was the choice of Microsoft and Toshiba until recently.

So, now that the war is over, I guess the demise of the HD DVD video format should not come as a surprise when the two formats are compared and closely examined. First, the quality of both in terms of picture and sound are a huge step up from a regular DVD in resolution. However, when further investigating Blu-ray, the storage capacity is four times greater than that of High Definition DVD. In our opinion, this is perhaps the largest deal breaker for High Definition DVD.

The Blu-ray storage advantage means less need for multiple DVD disk box sets. Companies such as Fox who are always looking for a way to minimize cost and increase profit love the storage advantage Blue Ray offers.

To the consumer it means we can go out and buy a Season of our favorite show in a much smaller package, instead of a big clunky box full of DVDs. As for the sound and picture quality, there is a noticeable difference between Blu-ray and High Definition DVD. Even on the best of televisions the HD DVD still remains a bit grainy where as the Blu-ray has very crisp rich looking images.

Another influence in the decision to kill HD DVD was the backing of the Sony Corporation. Sony is the leading edge developer and implementer of Blu-ray players into devices their consumers use on a daily basis. Their PlayStation 3 models are considered one of the best Blu-ray players on the market. Price-wise, not only do you get a Blu-ray player; you get a video game console and audiovisual storage unit all rolled into one.

Also of note: Sony Vaio computers have the option for a Blu-ray DVD drive upgrade.

Microsoft put their money behind the HD DVD format by offering an external player for their Xbox line of products. However, upon hearing the news that Toshiba was canceling its HD DVD line, Microsoft discontinued their HD DVD external player; they’ve yet to release an external Blu-ray player. There is a rumor that the external Blu-ray player for Xbox is in the works.

Unfortunately, the adult film industry also had a great influence over these decisions. Whether we chose to ignore it or pretend it doesn’t exist, The adult film industry still has a large influence over the Blu-ray decision. Even with its apparent loss of revenue to online video, the industry still has some sway in regards to the format its line of adult videos will be on.

Since 2007, and early 2008, the adult film industry put its backing behind the Blu-ray DVD format. This, combined with the other reasons mentioned above, seems to be the straw that broke the camels back for HD DVD.

What does this mean for you and your business of DVD products? We are entering a time that future video products should be recorded on High Definition video tape and released on Blu-ray DVD.

So, now that you know Blu-ray DVD is the future of DVD video delivery, what type of product can you develop on Blu-ray DVD? Consider that Blu-ray will deliver graphics and still images that look more brilliant and video images of much higher quality because they are recorded on High Definition video. In addition, the length of programming time is greater on Blu-ray than standard DVD.

We highly recommend Duplicating your Blu-ray inventory in low quantities as just-in-time delivery…because it will not be long before the next “greatest advancement” in digital video comes out to further confuse us and, once again, change everybody’s thinking, including ours.

Dating over 40
Dating when you are out of practice is not easy. If you have been through a divorce, your confidence level may be harmed which will keep you from finding the courage to peruse another relationship. The best things for you to do under this situation are to recognize the fact that your confidence is low and take the steps to rebuild and strengthen your confidence.

If you have gained weight or become frumpy, do something about it. Start an exercise program, any program. Try Yoga or palliates. Join a Gym, anything to get you physically again.

The amount of calories you consume must be less the amount of calories you burn each day in order to loose weight. I fond that when I had to loose weight, I was too dormant and not active enough to burn the amount of calories I was consuming.

Your inner glow and beauty naturally come back strong about three weeks into an every day at the gym change of life. Exercise also helps reduce stress, make menopause easier because of the hormone release and balance.

Once you start feeling better about yourself, get some new cloths. Have a department consultant or personal shopper help you learn how to try new things. Have somebody color match you. There are colors you look better in than others. Mine happen to be sage and navy blue.

When I went through my second divorce, I opened my very own charge account using my new address, which happened to be my mother’s house. Talk about low self esteem!

I joined a gym and lost nearly 40 pounds without a lot of hassle dieting. I just stayed active and all of a sudden the pounds began to shed. This is much easier when you are younger. As we age, even if we are cool old guys, our metabolism slows down ad makes it harder to shed the pounds. Keep in mind, less food more exercise. This along with some new cloths will make you ready for action.

If you really want to attract a new partner, get a manicure and pedicure. Guys, clean well groomed nails are a huge turn on your ladies. Ladies, you know how important it is to keep your nails pained and filed even.

Now there will be some of you reading this who considers yourself plain. That’s ok as long as you look for somebody who shares the similar belief about grooming. Don’t expect to attract somebody you don’t yourself represent. Enough said about that.

Now that you look and feel better about yourself, go deep and determine if you are ready to begin looking for a relationship. The dating process has changes drastically today than it was say 10 years ago. It’s much more difficult to find your soul mate in a bar than it use to be.

Today, looking for potential partners is a bit different if you are out of high school or college. The internet has created all sorts of virtual social communities that are designed for people to meet each other.

Guys, to be cool, don’t make a typical p-r-o-f-i-l-e-, do something cool! Have a good writer help you write a charming profile. You MUST add humor, ladies like to laugh.

Don’t upload that picture when you and what’s her name were married with her cut off. Also, use a current picture; NOT your college graduation photo ok?

If you really want to be cool, make an animated bitmap of your picture to get more attention! (Google animated bitmap to learn how).
A moving bitmap has three or four images that count as a static upload but actually move. If you look around the Internet, you will see them.

You have to have a discussion via email before the phone call. You have to have a phone call before the face to face. Conversation (using text and/or words to win her over before the physical attraction is confirmed is a must.

If you hit it off with a person on line, the nest step is to meet at a public location to see if there is any physical attraction to warrant the next meeting or step in growing the relationship.

Before you get all worked up, create a perfect profile for your internet dating strategy.

Lastly, to get this right and have success, create a list of things or characteristics you want in your date. How can you find what you are looking for if you don’t know who you are looking for?

Today I am with the woman of my dreams, but I had to work hard for her. My list I made to find her had 15 characteristics (and features) for the perfect woman. She nailed all 15.

In closing, this is a summary of things to do for successful dating over 40 and to be a cool old guy:
build your self confidence, clean up your self and your act, don’t talk too much about you, be interested and listen to what she has to say, get a manicure, change your appearance to look like a stud, learn to lighten up and be funny, learn to dance, get hip, listen to cool music and be flipping happy! Nobody likes a looser or downer.
