The last video taken of Madeleine McCann.

[Brietta]

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.

You have made the claim.  Sadie has provided the data you can use to show whether or not your claim is viable. 

Why did people record super 8 footage in video only?  If you consider that question it may go some way towards answering the question you have posed.

Super 8 was released in 1965 and discontinued in 2007 and wasn't anything to do with filming from a mobile phone so frankly I can't see what that has to do with the subject, sorry Brietta.

I had a sanyo video camera in 1996 and that filmed with audio.

Why was super 8 discontinued in 2007?  Perhaps because individuals like you preferred to to record video with audio.
However I think you are deliberately missing the point that video came first while audio came later.

What camera was used to film the last video taken of Madeleine McCann ... and did it have an audio recording capability?  In my opinion you need that information to substantiate your belief that the original footage was released with audio.

There’s sound on the part where the children are climbing the aircraft steps. What purpose would there be for adding that also ?

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

I can clearly hear Gerry McCann saying 'Oop day, you alright?' when the children trip on the steps. I can clearly hear someone I believe is David Payne speaking to Gerry on the bus. The background sounds are consistent with the locations. Therefore I'm of the opinion that it's more likely that any soundtrack was removed rather than added. No-one can prove otherwise in my opinion.

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?

Do I get an excellent research for 5 Minutes Googling...? These were professionals and probably in possession of upto date technology.

From the same article -"Mr McCann said Madeleine was used to travelling, having flown to Italy and Amsterdam."
No mention of Donegal.
When did she go to Italy ?

[Miss Taken Identity]

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.

Here is the one I was watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1AlT1Jg0fw

You are absolutely correct Sunny. If this was to be shown on TV the sound technicians would dub over or remove all or part of the  video. They would certainly not allow the words ' FO' to be heard by the viewing public.

However, I have my very own evidence which convinced me and others. We have a sign language /lip reading expert translator . Asked to look at the silent video,it was slowed down, and she wrote down what was said. FO was what was said. I trust her implicitly. She sympathises with the family so no bias at all.

I also  know this to be true as I have other information from someone in the know. I am doing a Sadie and Davel here -NO not going to name names...

Is Gerry having a Yorkshire moment?  Isn’t he more likely to be saying “Oops a Daisy”?

I think the Oop Day was David Payne anyway.  Sounds more like a northen English accent and very close to the microphone on the mobile phone.

What does “oop day”mean then?

Obviously a shortened version oopsie daisy Vertical Swirl.   I am sure it is acceptable to shorten oopsie daisy.   People shorten phrases all the time especially to small children as you are probably aware.

Personally I think it sounds like “oop there” but I’m not entirely sure that any of this is particularly important.
