Found on LibertyForum 05/30/04:The main part of the Nicholas Berg video is the reading of the statement scene which takes up 4:17 (4 minutes, 17 seconds) of a 5:38 composition. It begins at 0:20 elapsed time, 2:40:03 camera time.

Several who have analyzed the composition (Nick Possum, John Nada, bloggers Videoman, Valhall and others) detect a lapse between the audio and the video at the end of this scene. An audio scream begins at 4:31 elapsed time (2:44:06 camera) but at 4:37 (2:44:12) the victim still maintains a pleasant expression—6 seconds later.
[...]
Acting from the assumption that the two video scenes are of the same continuous event and the audio record is from the same event [this is the intended effect of the editors of the composition], the audio is about 8 seconds ahead of the video. Using enhanced audio, Valhall finds that this 8 second gap is present toward the end of statement-reading scene when the papers are handed by the reader to the man on his left (the paper shuffle can be heard).

Hypothesis: The video was "stretched" by adding frames to simulate movement of the victim.
[...]
Preliminary Finding: The video-audio divergence grows in relation to the occurrence of simulated movements of the victim. The 8-9 seconds estimated total movement corresponds well to the video-audio gap as well as to the gap between elapsed time and camera time... .....---
