911-Chronology-Source movies iraq_911 newsandpublicaffairs http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/ Have received many requests for source footage used to create "<a href="http://911chronology.com" rel="nofollow">9/11 Chronology</a>" (on 20041102.Last.Chance DVD). So I've simplified the split-screen to being a 2-way, with no timecode overtop, and no pop-up-video information. Probably the most basic I can reduce the footage to and still have some sense of it being recontextualized. The ideal aspect ratio for watching this footage is 8:3 (4:3 doubled horizontally). That's pretty close to 2.21:1 as I've tagged the MPEG-2. Computers seem to play it back fine, but unfortunately there is no 2.21:1 native resolution for DVDs... only 4:3 or 16:9. So you may have to re-render the footage if you want to create a playable DVD. I tried to author a native 2.21:1 DVD with DVD Lab Pro... my XBMC played it fine, but X-Box dashboard played it back 4:3 (too stretched to be watchable). It really makes me wonder what the big deal about all these HDTVs are when there isn't even a DVD format that supports 2.21:1 without wasting vertical lines of resolution. Anyhoo... Files of interest are... <a href="http://www.archive.org/download/911-Chronology-Source/911-Chronology-Source-Live-TV-Coverage-Split-Screen.mpeg" rel="nofollow">4.7 GB MPEG-2 of 9/11 Chronology Source - Live CNN and FOX coverage.</a> This is what people have been asking for so I've digitized the crappy EP VHS tape I purchased on eBay (containing both CNN and FOX) and performed this basic split-screen. I'm also making MPEG-2 archive of non-split screen copies which I'm sure I can NOT upload to IA, but I can mail out on DVD-Rs to anyone working on a project. The footage is such low quality though, I expect 99% of people's needs could be met by altering this split screen footage in a video editing program. Kill 1 of the audio channels, stretch it horizontally... yer done! And it saves me some time. Since the file is so freaking big, I'm sure some will prefer to review a smaller <a href="http://www.archive.org/download/911-Chronology-Source/911-Chronology-Source-Live-TV-Coverage-Split-Screen_256kb.mp4" rel="nofollow">quicktime</a> version of the same footage. IA's conversion engine seems to have some glitches, resulting in an incorrect aspect ratio, and reversed left-right audio channels. The <a href="http://www.archive.org/download/911-Chronology-Source/911-Chronology-Source-Live-TV-Coverage-Split-Screen.mpeg" rel="nofollow">MPEG-2</a> is correct though. <a href="http://www.archive.org/download/911-Chronology-Source/911-Chronology-Source-Impact-Collection.mpg" rel="nofollow">MPEG-1 of impact collection</a>, as downloaded off a bitTorrent tracker in 2004. <a href="http://www.archive.org/download/911-Chronology-Source/911-Chronology-Source-WTC-Shake.mpg" rel="nofollow">MPEG-1 of camera shaking</a>, this occurs moments before a WTC1 collapses. "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?path=ASIN/B000067IZM&link_code=as2&camp=1789&tag=911chronology-20&creative=9325" rel="nofollow">WTC - The First 24 Hours</a>" is a DVD which contains the cleanest version of this footage. Quicktimes at <a href="http://www.archive.org/download/911-Chronology-Source/911-Chronology-Source-Bush-Reading-My-Pet-Goat-320x240-30fps.mov" rel="nofollow">30fps</a> and <a href="http://www.archive.org/download/911-Chronology-Source/911-Chronology-Source-Bush-At-Emmae-Booker-School-240x180-12fps.mov" rel="nofollow">12fps</a> of Bush at Booker Elementary. While there is much overlap between these 2 files, they are not identical coverage. I combined them in <a href="http://911Chronology.com" rel="nofollow">9/11 Chronology</a> to show both the lead up to the book reading, and the reading itself. They were hosted originally on <a href="http://buzzflash.com" rel="nofollow">BuzzFlash</a> and <a href="http://www.thememoryhole.org/" rel="nofollow">The Memory Hole</a>. There is also some <a href="http://www.archive.org/download/911-Chronology-Source/911-Chronology-Source-UA93-Audio.mov" rel="nofollow">audio</a> from flight UA93 where a terrorist talks to ground control. This doesn't cover every last fragment I used to create <a href="http://911Chronology.com" rel="nofollow">9/11 Chronology</a>, but its everything I have on hand. I expect most of these pieces are easy to come by, except for the CNN and FOX live coverage. Obviously <a href="http://911Chronology.com" rel="nofollow">9/11 Chronology</a> uses footage from the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?path=ASIN/B00006B1HI&link_code=as2&camp=1789&tag=911chronology-20&creative=9325" rel="nofollow">Naudet 9/11 documentary</a> as well, but I can't upload that. 2004 2005-11-28 19:47:56 2005-11-27 20:36:10 LastChance 20041102.last.chance@gmail.com unix:movies LastChance LastChance 2005-11-29 02:40:22 2005-11-29 02:55:52 NA Gordon McDowell NA NA sound color 123 minutes gordonmcdowell@gmail.com<br /> <a href="http://911chronology.com">9/11 Chronology</a><br /><a href="http://opensourcevideo.blogspot.com">OpenSourceVideo.BlogSpot.Com</a> 0:00:04 CNN - "This just in..." 0:03:34 FOX - Fox News Alert / Recording begins. 0:13:43 2nd plane impact. 1:10:03 Tower collapse. 1:37:00 FOX - Recording ends. 1:39:17 Tower collapse. 2:03:44 CNN - Recording ends.
