I'm baffled as to why people take these low-quality or highly compressed video clips and assume that what they're seeing is an accurate representation of what was originally filmed. You can't analyze, frame by frame, a clip which has been rendered via a lossy compression codec and not expect to see quirky artifacts--like pixels dropping in and out. It's called "lossy" compression because information is lost--lots of it. There's all kinds of algorithmic pixel blocking, sub-sampling, and interpolating going on--especially in these clips which have been copied and transcoded several times over. It's useless to try to draw any meaningful conclusions based on most of these minor "anomalies" people hunt for in these video clips.
there's more than ample footage with clear evidence of fakery along with the issues you're talking about having been addressed and debunked many times.. but more importantly, until you can provide the original footage and show its any more clear than what you claim is not original, your argument is an epic failure.

I'm not sure what you're referring to as fantasy in that video you posted, but I see no clear evidence of editing in the original video.
What I do see however is a fast moving object within a digital video stream on a website which utilizes an extreme amount of lossy compression; compression which is based almost entirely on color and motion. Not only are there compression artifacts, but YouTube is also notorious for dropping frames. Not to mention, the compression artifacts may have been compounded from other sources (other websites, the input device, the camera itself, etc.) Essentially what we're watching is nothing anywhere near close to the original video feed. The extra frames and the lost quality can speak volumes.
If someone can pull up an unconverted version of this video, then we are on grounds to either prove or debunk the theory. Otherwise, chalk it up to YouTube and/or wishful thinking/seeing.

A higher-resolution still from the original video clip. I believe I see a wing:
Also, even the original footage could show similar artifacts. The most common video formats such as DV, HDV, MPEG2, and many others use chroma sub-sampling ratios of 4:1:1, or 4:2:0, (as opposed to 4:4:4 which is true lossless color resolution) meaning that 3/4 of the original color information is discarded--in camera. Intermediate pixels either take on the value of the nearest sampling point or their value is computed by interpolation. The final result is usually negligible--but still, codecs can make "mistakes". Noticeable artifacts sometimes manifest depending on the nature and complexity of the original image. So what you see is never what was originally filmed.

Sorry, but you can't attribute or account for all the anomalies and lack of crash physics to compression when the same issues appear in even the clearest versions of that footage and several have debunked your argument in this and other threads that has gone un-rebutted. The only way you can logically and fully dismiss these anomalies and what that footage shows, is if this footage isn't the same as what was broadcast! And if there is an "original" version which your argument is essentially claiming/implying wouldn't have this "LOSSY" artifacting, then if it DID, you'd have to admit and accept by default, the original premise of fakery/cgi.
You can't have it both ways. The compression loss you're talking about, should not be an issue in the originals or
higher res versions of that footage and the same anomalies cannot occur in different video's that were taken by different camera's and angles . But I submit the originals/higher res versions, contain nearly the same issues and therefore is irrelevant in terms of what is clearly seen and not seen and cannot be used as evidence of planes or proving the OS.
This is among one of the videos that was used to sell the plane theory. If that or any of the video's contain fakery, then the entire theory is suspect and must address and disprove the evidence that exposes it. And this is the quagmire/canard that the OS and RPT is confronted with. Just one example of TV fakery is enough to prove TV fakery. And no one to date has ever shown a video that shows concrete proof of real planes or flight 11 and 175 or any clear impact with any signs of crash physics that would be expected; all footage is inconsistent, contradictory, anomalous, and overall dodgy.
But Suppose we had one photo showing a plane with parts really missing, and another photo showing a plane with parts that only appear to missing. How would we know which one was which?

Please check
This video clearly shows a different angle and different video all together.
Look between 0:02 and 0:03

"Shill" insinuations, crash "physics" and the alleged "nose out" phenomenon seem to be be a common refuges of retreat for "no-plane" truthers when they can't answer to whatever else has been brought to the table.

Well done you have really added to the discussion with that comment!!
You have made your opinion known; you think it was a compression artefact. I stated that even if it was an artefact of that nature then that means that multiple cameras and camera angles that captured this must have been edited by the same process, which in turn is evidence of a single source for these videos....
do I really need to follow this train of thought for you or can you complete where that leads to??
My list of suspects is growing.
Korg.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

stucoles didn't "bump" this thread, from obscurity where it should have been allowed to die a quiet, dignified death.

"points"????
OK, whatever man. Enjoy your 'points'!
I mean...wow! Trade them in for Green Stamps? Fine, let's keep posting, you get one point (I think) for each post in every thread you author. Great. "Spend" them wisely!
Maybe you can buy a Mercedes Benz with them, once you accumulate enough??
BUT, IF this is the reason you've been so adamant to not (apparently) "understand" logic and reason, about video compression effects, and you keep perpetuating this blatant NONSENSE about "wings disappearing:...for points???
Well, at least you're honest about it, and people can now take your "opinions" and put them on the proper shelf that they deserve.
