The last video taken of Madeleine McCann.

[Robittybob1]

The soundtrack was of zero importance.

How would you know if you can't hear it?

My powers of deduction.
It was a very short video, the importance of which was in my opinion to get a moving image of a little girl who was missing into the public domain in the hope that someone somewhere might recognise her.

She did not speak ... therefore the soundtrack if there ever was one ... was redundant as far as identification was concerned. 

Only the moving image was important.

And the less said the better, I should think.

They would know that a destructive but vociferous minority would pull their every word apart.  Best to get the image across with no sound and maybe there was no sound.   The voices on that video do not sound genuine to me.

Has anyone got access to a voice analyser?

Do you expect anyone to believe that DP pulled out his phone, switched to video, then turned off sound before pressing record?

I wonder why DP then publicised the hardly flattering ( of Gerry ) piece of video ?

I assume he passed it to the McCanns and they released it. I don't think they would have seen Gerry's demeanor as unusual.

We have learned on this thread that Madeleine's parents released the video without a soundtrack.  A very simple deduction can be made regarding the appearance of a mischievous soundtrack added sometime later.

Some people have convinced themselves that it was released without a soundtrack, but are unable to provide evidence to support their conviction imo.

I am sure it was released with the sound track and then the sound was removed when it was notice that Gerry used a naughty word. You can hear a lot of background noises that seem appropriate to the situation.  If you look at the news coverage of when it was released there are a number of outlets that would probably have shown the video that just either refer to it or have a still photograph from it. Why would they do that when to show Madeleines last video would have been so much more powerful.

'New Footage Released Of Madeleine'; 29 May 07; 0'38"
SKY caption:'New mobile phone footage has been released in the search for missing Madeline McCann, showing the 4-year-old with her family boarding their holiday flight to Portugal. Watch the silent footage here.'

Who added the audio & when?

The soundtrack was of zero importance.

If someone went to the effort of removing the soundtrack then there was obviously issues with the soundtrack. How much easier would it have been just to leave the video with a soundtrack ?

Who edited the two clips together and for what purpose?

Are you sure that David Payne EVEN HAD SOUND on his video phone?  It was a pretty new invention:

Maybe there was no sound to switch off ?

Your side are making the accusations.  It is up to you to provide the evidence that proves something which may not be true.

Can you prove that there was ever a sound track ?  We are talking about the infancy of mobile video phones here and to begin with there was no sound attached, it seems.

Could you prove there wasn't any sound on the earlier video phones as your link shows nothing of the sort.  All IMO of course.

I thought I'd add that dictaphones had been around for years and I am sure that audio is much easier and cheaper to capture than video anyway so why limit the phone to video only.

Excellent research Sadie.  We take technology so much for granted now that we tend to forget that it all had to start somewhere and when it did start it came with a horrendous price tag.

I think you are correct in thinking that the first thing necessary to substantiate the claim being made for the existence of an original sound track is to determine what camera was used in 2007 and did it support the inclusion of a mic for audio recording?
