Aside from dodging the real issue of providing concrete and credible proof of Bin Laden's Government sponsored assassination (no magic bullet required this time), what it the purpose of the Government releasing these stupid videos? Can someone please try and explain what these videos prove?

There was no bar in this video!!!! That would mean that the image on the screen in the video was composited on.
So a real or fake Bin Laden is watching fake news stories of himself? Gotcha! It's all becoming very clear now.

A TV picture is formed in a video camera by scanning the scene repeatedly in lines from left to right while gradually moving from the top to the bottom of the picture. When the camera scans all the way to the bottom right, a small time delay is introduced into the scanning before the next field is begins scanning at the top left. In the U.S. (NTSC) system, this whole process repeats itself about 60 times per second. Unless the TV that you are watching is perfectly synchronized with the video camera you are using (never happens by accident) then you will see a dark horizontal bar crawl slowly up or down the screen as the two video systems (the camera and the TV) run independently and slightly out of synchronization with each other. This black bar is called a vertical blanking bar and represents the small amount of delay time mentioned above during which the camera and the TV are resetting for the next field of video and are not actually reading the scene (camera) or drawing on the screen (TV). The only way to totally prevent this from happening is to synchronize the two systems together like is done in a TV studio. This can either be done by using pro grade cameras and monitors that use what is called a genlock system to keep everything synced, or you can use non-pro cameras and monitors with a digital TBC / frame sync device. TBC stands for Time Base Corrector and these are sometimes built into video mixers like the Panasonic WJ-MX series and the Videonics line for example. As far as the PC monitor goes, you can just about forget it. It uses a totally different timing system and is very difficult to sync to a TV camera. You could either use a PC to TV converter driving a video monitor that is also synchronized to your camera, or just simulate the whole thing with a stationary image pasted to the front of the monitor for fictional productions. Or you can use digital screen captures edited directly into the video for non-fictional stuff. It is best to just not show them at all if possible. You can play with the contrast and brightness of the TV to minimize this annoying effect but it will not go away unless the camera and TV are perfectly synchronized. WK Source(s): Certified A/V Tech
In another, he has apparently dyed and neatly trimmed his beard for the filming of a propaganda video. The video, which the U.S. released without sound, was titled ""Message to the American People" and was believed to be filed sometime last fall, a senior intelligence official said during a briefing for reporters, on condition that his name not be used.
