[META] Video One Hidden Messages

http://www.microsoft.com/games/3355C014-DF8C-9590-D9B0/content/en-us/log5_en.flv

There's the link... The last sequence before the end shows a firing sequence from one of the remaining Halos... about 4 frames worth only within the last message repeated...

I do have a slight problem... I'm trying to play the FLV frame by frame using Media Player Classic, but whenever I take a screenshot, it's black, despite me being able to watch the vid... I can only see the text when I move the "viewing area" captured in the JPG in Photo Editor over the area behind all my windows, to it currently playing... Weird...

So, after "That one day, someone, anyone, etc" the following flashes:

"If you are that witness, and it seems that we pinned all of our hopes on this single suicidal plan"

Next, after "Know that a thousand other plans, etc", this flashes:

"Millions of brave and honored souls died trying to avert this desperate, terrible solution"

See here for a frame-by-frame you can look at... This is discussed in other threads, however. Wink

I'd like to point out for your own edification that the strangeness you describe is a consequence of hardware acceleration. Basically Media Player Classic, and many other players, write directly to the screen buffer without informing the OS of what they write. This gives them smooth playback reagardless of what Windows or MacOS or whatever is doing.

All this means that when you screen capture, you can only get a 'transparent' image that has no information independant of the player. Some players supply a 'Capture' button to allow captures to be taken should you need to.

number of frames?

Just perusing the wiki for the frame by frame analysis and thought I'd post the number of frames each image was present for in order. Hadn't seen it yet and figured since there's no new info to dig into we could look at it from this angle.

25 79 2 6 6 5 5 31 3 104 1 8 7 41 23 23 17 86 1 21 6 7 6 6 30 21 1 52 7 49 23 6 10 20 77 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
