Then I guess you understand what 60hz-Xtl is, I asked, as I picked up my Schoepps and went to work for the day. . .
Pilot tone! AAAIIIIIEEEEE!!! (runs screaming to find a crucifix and some garlic)
My background is in studio recording and sound reinforcement, but I've done enough VAPP work to have a finely-tuned appreciation of the joys of syncing sound to picture. How else could I have become the pathetic broken shell you see before you?
Turning back to the supposed "demolition" videos, it turns out that what you need to play the video from the mediumrecords site with audio is an AC3 decoder. I found one here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ac3filter/ac3filter_0_70b.exe?download
which allows my Windows Media Player to play the video with sound.
The video from mediumrecords and the video from terrorize.dk, which he references as a source, seem to be identical. The files are exactly the same size and they look and sound the same.
This implies that the cat at mediumrecords is naively using hi-tech toys to "analyze" something that he doesn't know is pure hokum. If he had taken a few minutes to Google around for other sources- or had used his ears instead of his disordered mind- he could have avoided wasting his time on a hoax.
One thing i'll say about the original hoaxter, whoever it might be- he might not have a clue about what he was trying to fake, but he's closing in on the '80s snare sound. That'll come in handy if hair bands ever come back.
