This neat little blog entry ("http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/08/researchers-ana.html[/url) demonstrates a piece of software developed to highlight if a still image or piece of video footage has been composited.
In the examples given, the author of the program reveals that some Al-Qaeda propaganda videos were, unsurprisingly, filmed in front of screens only to have a different background added in later.
I wonder if Ace is brave enough to run the software on his pet stills? I'm sure a quick email to the programmer would give him some results for his "paper"...
Somehow I doubt he's brave enough, nor does he really care about "The Truth" - as these types of analysis will undoubtedly prove him wrong, he won't even try.
