The last video taken of Madeleine McCann.

[slartibartfast]

Those who are determined to cling to their unfounded beliefs have so far been unable to explain the article in the Yorkshire Post on 28th May 2007 which clearly demonstrates that their claim that a soundtrack was added after the video was released is false;

Today her parents have released two heart-rending video clips of Madeleine, captured on a family friend’s mobile phone.......

The film was captured after their friend tried to take a photograph, but ended up recording the group as they were driven the short distance to the terminal......

Mr McCann is looking serious, which prompts his friend to joke: “Cheer up Gerry, we are on holiday.”

I agree and to what end I wonder.

It is very strange that they chose only cites that fit a possible agenda rather than this one. IMO this is the most important Cite. Perhaps the video was given to the Yorkshire Post early by Michael Wright as he is a Yorkshire resident.

This article gives Michael Wright's email address as a contact and interviewed his wife;

Relatives of abducted four-year-old Madeleine McCann are heading the Yorkshire arm of the campaign to help bring her home.

In that article they talk about the length of the videos and I find it rather surprising!

"One clip – 13 seconds long – shows her sitting on an airport bus, the other – nine seconds – is of her boarding the flight."

13 and 9 adds up to 22 seconds but the "Reuters" clip is 36  seconds long isn't it!  So the McCanns released a heavily edited version by the sounds of it.

The AP video shows 9 seconds of footage on the bus having cut out the footage of Fiona and Dianne. It also has 9 seconds of footage of the boarding of the plane. Total 18 seconds.

The Reuters video shows 9 seconds of footage of the boarding, and around 22 seconds on the bus.

There seems to have been some confusion.

In my opinion the Reuters version is clearly the full version, unless someone is going to suggest that extra footage was added using look-a-likes.

Good point G.

Goo point G.

In my opinion, looking at the evidence, the video  was released in  it's full uncut version initially, including the soundtrack. It was then edited to exclude those who didn't need/want to be shown. The soundtrack was removed perhaps because it was of poor quality, or because it wasn't needed, or because it did contain bad language.

[Sunny]

I agree completely G. Well put.

[kizzy]

Thank you Misty.  I think that rather blows the Reuters claim right out of the water.  Interestingly enough I didn't give the comments section associated with the alleged Reuters release a look until now, and guess what ... the same old same old.
Any excuse though ... or none ... rather sad really.

Yes it is rather sad really looking at it ... no one seems to be happy.. gmac definitely not in holiday spirit

To me everyone seems to be on edge looking awkward even little maddie.

Once you cut the video and remove portions the associated soundtrack will not be continuous either.  That would be a dead giveaway it was edited, so the soundtrack had to be removed IMO.

It was filmed as two separate events so there was no cutting to do, rather they were spliced together.

I understand there are two separate videos but we are considering the length of each individual video e.g. was it 9 seconds or 22 seconds on the airport bus?

lol we have to keep saying  it over and over. I said this way back. I even gave cites for use of language on TV and which act it breached.  Here we all are still going on. It is as if some supporters are trying to whitewash the McCanns and show them as pure as the driven snow!  how hilarious.

Be careful not to libel the McCanns.

Who do you think was edited out of the video?
