Analysis

The digital data is technically intact and valid in accordance with file format specification. The concealed errors were created during the digitisation process and the concealments were reported using intended features of the file format.

The error originates from reading of DV tape when the reading from the magnetic tape is not completely succesful and the failed parts are replaced with data from the adjacent frames.

Digital Video was designed to store digital data to magnetic tapes used in video cameras.
