Dear Board of Directors, I am in receipt of the digital video file titled Video2010.ASF. I understand that this video is purportedly of a male named Swamy Nithyananda and female named Ranjitha. I have completed research of this video and others like it on the Internet and am deeply disturbed. As a forensic expert, I know how powerfully influencing video can be. A grossly edited video like this series of videos is damaging to a person's character. Video has the power to influence a society because people believe what they see; especially when they see video on television and read. on the Internet. Video is more powerful than text and people most always believe what they In the following forensic report, I will prove scientifically: . Why this video and others like it are not real . These videos have component layers combined to create this composite video just like a Hollywood movie . These videos have been altered and grossly edited Introduction In my own research to learn more about this project, I found that parts of this video (Video2010.ASF ) and other related videos were shown through various television channels, including, but not limited to, Sun TV, TV9 and Aaj Tak. Furthermore, excerpts of the video telecast were uploaded to the Internet via YouTube, a free Internet video service that has very little restrictions. They were also published on numerous blogs and local websites such as Dinakaran and Nakkeeran. Historically, when a movie is created in Hollywood, often times several layers are placed on top of each other to create a series of events that are fictitious. This compositing is designed to give Edward J Primeau, RI Page 1

=== Page 4 === the viewer a sense of fantasy. Software programs like Adobe After Effects are often used to create such imagination-driven movies. It is common for film makers to use After Effects experts to create scenes that reflect a vintage feel. Teams of specialists are able to create footage for movies that appear as if it was recorded in different time periods or even different locations. The authentic look of such film can convince a viewer that they are actually watching genuine footage from a far away time or place. Since the audience that views such movies is not aware of video compositing and the software that was used to create such scenes, they are sucked into a fantasy vortex that takes them on a mental journey. For the time they watched that movie, many can believe such scenes to be real. I suspect thousands of people have viewed the videos that purportedly show Swamy Nithyananda in compromising situations and believe them to be real. People believe falsified video to be reality when in fact it is not. People believe what they see because it has been broadcast on television and the Internet; both very powerful mediums. This video Video2010.ASF that you initially asked me to examine is not real. In addition, the various versions of this video that are on the Internet include music, graphics, an on camera actor and several layers of video that were all components used to produce these composited videos. I will explain my expert conclusion which is based on 27+ years experience as an audio and video forensic expert using scientific principles in the following report. Forensic Investigation I was originally asked to determine if the video identified as Video2010.ASF is genuine. I took it upon myself to also research this video on the Internet and discovered other videos similar in nature that are all not real. I have never seen such a grossly edited and altered series of defamatory videos in my time as a practicing audio and video forensic expert. Not only do I conclude that this file Video2010.ASF is not authentic, I also conclude for the reasons outlined below that the other videos that have been broadcast on television and the Internet are also not real. They should not be considered a representation of the facts they appear to show for the following reasons: 1. The video file 2010 ASF has been edited and is unreliable in its current form. I have detected editing both visually and electronically. 2. The video is a portion of a longer video and is not a complete representation of the events as they occurred. 3. There is no audio on the video. It would have been very easy to record audio. I believe audio was not recorded so the actors in the video could not be identified. The audio

Edward J Primeau, RI Page 2

=== Page 5 === would help authenticate this video clip using forensic voice identification to aid in identification of the persons in the video. 4. There appears to be video images layered on top of each other. If the original had been provided, I could tell beyond a reasonable degree of professional certainty how these images were composed. 5. There is an unusual flickering to the left of the television of items on a nightstand that can not be identified. This indicates video composite layering. If the flickering were a result of the light source, the television would be flickering. 6. The video aspect ratio is unusual: 704 X 496. I have never experienced this unusual aspect ratio. I believe this is further proof of alteration. 7. The video ends abruptly and appears to be cut off proving scientifically that it was edited or removed from a complete portion of a video. Conclusion The video title Video2010.ASF is not genuine and authentic. It is not real and is altered. The other videos on the Internet have obvious edits. As a forensic expert I can clearly see the scenes jump and new characters, graphics and music added to glorify events that are not real. Because this video is not a representation of the facts and events as they occurred and is not real, it should not be viewed as real. Furthermore, the video2010.ASF and others like it have composite layering which includes scenes that were recorded at different times and blended together to appear to be real. As a video forensic expert, I recommend that this video be excluded from any factual relevance. I am willing to testify in the United States or India and answer any questions regarding this forensic investigation. Please let me know how I may assist further with this matter. Respeçtfully,

Edward J Primeau, RI

David Notowitz, founder, The National Center for Audio and Video Forensics (NCAVF)

Mr. Notowitz is an Emmy award winning producer and multi-faceted video evidence expert. His special- ties include commercial and event video production and web development. In 1986 he started Notowitz Productions and produced daily segments for the Financial News Network (since bought by CNBC).

He has produced and edited corporate productions for clients such as Fox Broadcasting Company, Yahoo!, GM, The Learning Channel, Rhino Entertainment, Miller Beer, IBM, Disney, Fandango, Frigidaire, Pepperdine University, University of California, City of Santa Monica, and UBS Investment Bank.

Notowitz Productions produced award winning films and documentaries, including Voices Of The Shoah: Remembrances Of The Holocaust for Warner Bros., and the Emmy-nominated Carpati, which was named by the San Diego Union Tribune as one of the top ten films of 1997. He was also the editor of the nationally acclaimed 1992 documentary The Last Klezmer.

Professional awards include an L.A. Emmy and two nominations and three CableACE nominations.

Mr. Notowitz created NCAVF, the National Center for Audio and Video Forensics, and has worked as a forensic video expert witness on many cases assisting police officers, detectives, insurance investigators, public defenders, and corporate attorneys with cases across California, including San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Ventura, Palm Springs, Whittier, San Francisco, Sacramento, Emeryville, Irvine, and Pomona. He is appointed to the LA Superior Court Expert Witness Panel, and he is approved by the California State Bar as an MCLE provider, to provide continuing education to attorneys.

In the beginning of 2011, David Notowitz was a video forensic consultant for the TV program The Insider.

His most prominent court work has been his involvement as a video expert with the nationally covered Ivory Webb case. Television, radio, and print coverage of the case included major national and local news outlets, from the Today Show to CNN to the New York Times. Details of his contributions were written up in the PORAC Law Enforcement News.

=== Page 8 === Details of his contributions were written up in the PORAC Law Enforcement News by Bill Hadden, a partner in the law firm Silver, Hadden, Silver, Wexler + Levine that defended officer Webb:

We are extremely grateful for having had the opportunity to work with David Notowitz of Notowitz Productions, who was an indispensable mem- ber of the defense team before and during trial.

Mr. Notowitz tirelessly worked to produce numerous enhancements of the video and audio of the tape of the incident. In fact, on one critical part of the tape, the original contained a big blotch of white that prevented us from seeing approximately three seconds of what had oc- curred.

The agents of the FBI and the Sheriff's Department spent hours doing enhancements of the tape, and as skilled as they were in refining the tape, they were unable to remove the white blotch. Mr. Notowitz ap- plied various filters to the tape and eventually we were able to see the additional frames of Carrion's activities, which helped to dis- prove Carrion's version of events.

Throughout the trial, we benefited from Mr. Notowitz's preparation of images for the jury's consideration, which helped simplify an other- wise complex case.

Looking back, it would have been unimaginable to accomplish what we were able to do without him, and we would recommend his services to any other LDF panel attorney.

David Notowitz operates Notowitz Productions and NCAVF, the National Center for Audio and Video Forensics, a full service audio and video forensics company, providing all levels of consulting and media preparation for evidence used in mediations, arbitration, hearings, and court.

The following is a report prepared by NCAVF regarding video files delivered to the office by Life Bliss Foundation in early October 2011. 1) Statements of credentials See attached biography 2) Background Today, video and audio technology has advanced enough that it's often difficult to determine what is real and what has been manufactured. Feature films such as Avatar and Hugo used actors to capture movements, gestures, and interactions, and experts in computer graphics and animation converted that information into totally re-imagined characters and scenarios. If a person has access to the right computer resources he can create almost any scene. 3) Integrity of Evidence So what becomes most important in the authentication of evidence is to be able to know and track the original source of the video -- the video's "chain of evidence." 4) Explaining Chain of Evidence It is crucial that the integrity of evidence is maintained, from the beginning of a case until its resolution, to be sure a court makes a legal determination based on accurate facts. With this in mind, the first stage of investigating an alleged incident includes the gathering and protecting of evidence by a trusted police employee or a trusted and objective expert. In a case that involves video or audio, a forensic video expert will gather the evidence directly from a surveillance system or from some original source such as a cellphone or a video camera. That second generation copy is then manipulated in some way, to enhance and analyze it for law enforcement officials or attorneys. At every step the enhancements are noted care- fully and tracked, so that later, if needed, in court, those technical steps can be described and even repeated for a judge or jury. 5) Chain of Evidence in this specific instance In this situation, video was allegedly taken December 23-25, 2009 and it emerged to the public March 2, 2010. What happened to the video during that time? We don't know. The chain in this case was broken -- not only a little but extremely -- because we don't have a trustworthy guardian of the video for over two months. During that time all kinds of digital manipulation may have been applied.

=== Page 10 === Because the chain of evidence was broken, and in addition because it was broken for such a long time, it almost doesn't matter how much analysis you do. It's just not video we can trust. 6) Issue of no audio -- It is strange that if a small recording device was purportedly placed in the room to capture private moments, why wasn't audio recorded? All devices have the function of recording audio too. Why not this device? 7) Issue of unexplained recording start and stop -- The unexplained start and stop in the video does not have a good explanation.

The video seems to begin at 23:21:33, and lasts 23 minutes, 11 seconds. It seems to end at 23:44:44. Why? Regarding those who might say that motion activated and stopped the recording, this does not seem to be so. Because during fairly still screen activity the recording starts, and during obvious motion the camera recording stops.

Case Date: 2/6/2012 Sri Nithyananda Swami

A number of Video clips of were forwarded to our labs. We have been asked to authenticate the clips. The clips are all from the same video source but the clips we received (as "YouTube" Links) were in different aspect ratios, sizes and frame rate. The purported "original clip" in its original codec and the actual recorder are requested to perform tests on.

There are questions as to whether the video could have been faked. The simple answer is. Yes, quite simply. With today's roto-scoping faces on stunt persons in the motion picture industry commonplace, the technology is available for anyone with a little knowledge and a mid range home computer to be able to render scenes like these.

Facial mapping has been done for years in the movie industry. Many of the programs used for hi-tech animation, motion tracking software, planar tracking and the like are available for purchase by the general public at reasonable prices.

The US and India both have very large television and film production communities with large pools of knowledgeable and technically skilled crews. Before we get into the technical aspects of the video clips, how can such a video be "created" or 'faked"

Most commonly one would start with a green screen. A green screen environment can be created in almost any studio, living area, room, garage ete.

=== Page 23 === It does not even require "Chroma Key Green or Chroma Key Blue these days. {{{ Chroma key compositing (or chroma keying) is a technique for compositing (layering) two images together. A color range in the top layer is made transparent, revealing another image behind. The chroma keying technique is commonly used in video production and post-production. This technique is also referred to as color keying, color-separation overlay green screen, and blue screen. It is commonly used for weather forecast broadcasts, wherein the news presenter appears to be standing in front of a large map during live television newscasts, but in a television studio it is actually a large blue or green background. The meteorologist stands in front of a blue screen, and then different weather maps are added on those parts in the image where the color is blue. If the meteorologist wears blue clothes, his clothes will be replaced with the background video. This also works for green screens, since blue and green are considered the colors least like skin tone. This technique is also used in the entertainment industry, for example for special effects. Software is available today, such as Pinnacle Studio, which makes it possible and relatively easy for the average home computer user, to create videos using the Chroma Key function and green screens. }}

The Chroma Key could be used to create the bedroom in this case. The people in the scene could be anybody of similar stature. In the early days of rotoscoping and mapping. Green screen suits were worn with blue "ball" markers so the animators could use them as points or reference for motion tracking. This isn't necessary anymore, though sometimes faster, depending on what you are trying to accomplish. Facial mapping is done using facial nodes or points on the face that can be tracked in a 3D environment by computer. These days when a movie star is doing something such as a stunt, their face can be mapped onto a stunt person, so it looks as though the star is doing the stunt. The stars face can also be mapped over a completely animated figure. Cranial points, The Vertex, Supraglabella, Glabella, Euryon and auriculotemporale points on the skull would be common marking points for tracking. (below)

=== Page 26 === The numbered points above would be most commonly used to track facial expressions, create facial expressions, lip sync etc. Lateral Points, Orbital Points, Nasal Points, Labial Points, Mental Points, Planes, Areas along with lines and groves make up basic Facial Geometry .* (*Facial Geometry- Graphic Facial Analysis for Forensic Artists) The same points used for Forensic Facial Analysis are the basis for facial replacement on video. Adding and subtracting other people in the same scene, even after green screening is possible using programs like Imagineer systems "Mocha". (http://www.imagineersystems.com/products/mochav2) for demonstrations.

This planar tracker and roto utility operates on many systems, is relatively simple to use and is very effective at creating "alternate realities." Adding another person to a video or taking a person out becomes quite simple using products such as Mocha. Here is a quick example using a lift from the video in question.

=== Page 27 === This was done in yery quickly ... and not by an artist, in under 30 minutes. It's very simple. Given another 30 minutes it could be made much more convincing by adjusting the texture and lighting as well as blending the composite layers.

=== Page 28 === The Video itself. The benefit of sites like "You Tube" for someone posting up an altered video is "compression". Videos that are loaded up to most of these sites are compressed for easier playback by the masses. Often the file type or codec is also changed from the original. The more compressed a signal is the harder it becomes to spot irregularities in a video. The compression of a video file (to make it smaller and easier to play from the web) results in digital noise. The more compressed the noisier the signal (picture) is.

This noise creates masking, making it difficult to spot chromatic aberrations and similar "tells".

{f{In optics, chromatic aberration (CA, also called achromatism or chromatic distortion) is a type of distortion in which there is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same convergence point. It occurs because lenses have a different refractive index for different wavelengths of light (the dispersion of the lens). The refractive index decreases with increasing wavelength.

Chromatic aberration manifests itself as "fringes" of color along boundaries that separate dark and bright parts of the image, because each color in the optical spectrum cannot be focused at a single common point. Since the focal length f of a lens is dependent on the refractive index n, different wavelengths of light will be focused on different positions.

There are two types of chromatic aberration, axial (longitudinal), and transverse (lateral). Axial aberration occurs when different wavelengths of light are focused at different distances from the lens, i.e. different points on the optical axis (focus shift). Transverse aberration occurs when different wavelengths are focused at different positions in the focal plane (because the magnification and/or distortion of the lens also varies with wavelength; indicated in graphs as (change in) focus length). The acronym LCA is used, but ambiguous, and may refer to either longitudinal or lateral CA; for clarity, this article uses "axial" (shift in the direction of the optical axis) and "transverse" (shift perpendicular to the optical axis, in the plane of the sensor or film).

These two types have different characteristics, and may occur together. Axial CA occurs throughout the image, and is reduced by stopping down (this increases depth of field, so though the different wavelength focus at different distances, they are still

=== Page 29 === in acceptable focus). Transverse CA does not occur in the center, and increases towards the edge, but is not affected by stopping down. In digital sensors, axial CA results in the red and blue planes being defocused (assuming that the green plane is in focus), which is relatively difficult to remedy in post-processing, while transverse CA results in the red, green, and blue planes being at different magnifications (magnification changing along radii, as in geometric distortion), and can be corrected by scaling the planes appropriately so they line

Using Electronic scopes (Waveform, Vector Scope, RGB Parade and Luminance) it is easy to see chromatic aberration, and various other traits of a lens. A wide angle lens used in the making of this video will handle light different than a lens of a different number of elements or focal length would. Using the original camera: a test would be performed using a chip chart and color bars. Either NTSC or PAL depending on the format of the camera. (see Below)

=== Page 30 === C

USAForensic

Photographing the Black & White Chip Chart & the Color Bar Set up card would show Chromatic aberrations (RGB separation) on the scopes. This deviance could be measured and compared to the picture coming from the original camera. Distance from the camera, light sources, color temperature of the light source(s) would have to be factored in. Any scratches on the lens or dead pixels on the CCD chip would also be noted.

=== Page 31 === This is an important baseline test because many people doing a composite would not take into account dead pixels or chromatic aberrations. These begin to play a factor in compositing. If there is a dead pixel on the "plate shot"- first layer of video, then it should be present throughout the entire video. If, for example, a person or item crosses the dead pixel and it disappears and reappears as the person passes it ... that is a very good "tell" it is a fake. It works the same for lens scratches, dust or any other irregularities on the plate shot.

Shadows are also important in composite shots. Does the light source remain constant .? Are there any unaccounted for shadows, shadows missing, or not aligned with the light source?

Is the color Purple, if in the shot, consistent. purple is the most difficult color for RGB cameras to accurately reproduce. It tends to go various shades of blue without a proper white balance. If the shades of purple shift, that's also something to be analyzed.

Benefits of compression masking aberrations through noise:

{{ A compression artifact (or artefact) is a noticeable distortion of media (including images, audio, and video) caused by the application of lossy data compression. Lossy data compression involves discarding some of the media's data so that it becomes simplified enough to be stored within the desired disk space (known as a data rate or bit rate for media that is streamed). If the compressor could not reproduce enough data in the compressed version to reproduce the original, the result is a diminishing of quality, or introduction of artifacts. Alternatively, the compression algorithm may not be intelligent enough to discriminate between distortions of little subjective importance and those which may be objectionable to the viewer.

Compression artifacts occur in many common media such as DVDs, common computer file formats such as JPEG, MP3, or MPEG files, and some alternatives to the compact disc, such as Sony's MiniDisc format. Uncompressed media (such as on Laserdiscs, Audio CDs, and WAV files) or losslessly compressed media (such as FLAC or PNG) do not suffer from compression artifacts. The minimization of perceivable artifacts is a key goal in implementing a lossy compression algorithm. However, artifacts are occasionally intentionally produced for artistic purposes, a style known as glitch art or datamoshing. Technically speaking, a compression artifact is a particular class of data error that is usually the consequence of quantization in lossy data compression. Where

=== Page 32 === transform coding is used, they typically assume the form of one of the basis functions of the coder's transform space. When motion prediction is used, as in MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4, compression artifacts tend to remain on several generations of decompressed frames, and move with the optic flow of the image, leading to a peculiar effect, part way between a painting effect and "grime" that moves with objects in the scene. Data errors in the compressed bit-stream can lead to errors similar to large quantization errors, or can disrupt the parsing of the data stream entirely for a short time, leading to "break-up" of the picture. Where gross errors have occurred in the bit-stream, decoders continue to apply updates to the damaged picture for a short interval, creating a "ghost image" effect, until receiving the next independently compressed frame. In MPEG picture coding, these are known as "I- frames", with the 'I' standing for "intra".

Mosquito noise

Video compression artifacts include cumulative results of compression of the comprising still images, for instance ringing or other edge busyness in successive still images appear in sequence as a shimmering blur of dots around edges, called mosquito noise, as they resemble mosquitoes swarming around the object}}}

If a person is going to produce a composited fake. One of the best weapons in the arsenal is video noise. It covers up edges and fine lines that might otherwise show faults in the composite. Beyond the technical issues. One must also take into context why someone would want to create a composited video file. A political, religious, celebrity or business figure would be a common target. Many tabloids make millions of dollars by taking pictures out of context or altering images.

Example: A picture out of context would be a photo of a celebrity in the middle of a "eye blink" ... possibly making the celebrity look intoxicated. Of course, though not important to the public in general, but legally significant is "how was the video obtained" ::: was the process legal in the country or region.

The report has no actual scientific data on it whatsoever. It is an inventory sheet of what was received and a persons best guess that the client and person on the video matched. No forensic tests were performed according to the report. It was the person's estimation the person on the screen was the client and the recording was an original. No tests were done to look for compositing. Below is the report.

A number of Video clips of were forwarded to our labs. We have been asked to authenticate the clips. The clips are all from the same video source but the clips we received (as "YouTube" Links) were in different aspect ratios, sizes and frame rate. The purported "original clip" in its original codec and the actual recorder are requested to perform tests on.

There are questions as to whether the video could have been faked. The simple answer is. Yes, quite simply. With today's roto-scoping faces on stunt persons in the motion picture industry commonplace, the technology is available for anyone with a little knowledge and a mid range home computer to be able to render scenes like these.

Facial mapping has been done for years in the movie industry. Many of the programs used for hi-tech animation, motion tracking software, planar tracking and the like are available for purchase by the general public at reasonable prices.

The US and India both have very large television and film production communities with large pools of knowledgeable and technically skilled crews. Before we get into the technical aspects of the video clips, how can such a video be "created" or 'faked"

Most commonly one would start with a green screen. A green screen environment can be created in almost any studio, living area, room, garage ete.

=== Page 50 === It does not even require "Chroma Key Green or Chroma Key Blue these days. {{{ Chroma key compositing (or chroma keying) is a technique for compositing (layering) two images together. A color range in the top layer is made transparent, revealing another image behind. The chroma keying technique is commonly used in video production and post-production. This technique is also referred to as color keying, color-separation overlay green screen, and blue screen. It is commonly used for weather forecast broadcasts, wherein the news presenter appears to be standing in front of a large map during live television newscasts, but in a television studio it is actually a large blue or green background. The meteorologist stands in front of a blue screen, and then different weather maps are added on those parts in the image where the color is blue. If the meteorologist wears blue clothes, his clothes will be replaced with the background video. This also works for green screens, since blue and green are considered the colors least like skin tone. This technique is also used in the entertainment industry, for example for special effects. Software is available today, such as Pinnacle Studio, which makes it possible and relatively easy for the average home computer user, to create videos using the Chroma Key function and green screens. }}

The Chroma Key could be used to create the bedroom in this case. The people in the scene could be anybody of similar stature. In the early days of rotoscoping and mapping. Green screen suits were worn with blue "ball" markers so the animators could use them as points or reference for motion tracking. This isn't necessary anymore, though sometimes faster, depending on what you are trying to accomplish. Facial mapping is done using facial nodes or points on the face that can be tracked in a 3D environment by computer. These days when a movie star is doing something such as a stunt, their face can be mapped onto a stunt person, so it looks as though the star is doing the stunt. The stars face can also be mapped over a completely animated figure. Cranial points, The Vertex, Supraglabella, Glabella, Euryon and auriculotemporale points on the skull would be common marking points for tracking. (below)

=== Page 53 === The numbered points above would be most commonly used to track facial expressions, create facial expressions, lip sync etc. Lateral Points, Orbital Points, Nasal Points, Labial Points, Mental Points, Planes, Areas along with lines and groves make up basic Facial Geometry .* (*Facial Geometry- Graphic Facial Analysis for Forensic Artists) The same points used for Forensic Facial Analysis are the basis for facial replacement on video. Adding and subtracting other people in the same scene, even after green screening is possible using programs like Imagineer systems "Mocha". (http://www.imagineersystems.com/products/mochav2) for demonstrations.

This planar tracker and roto utility operates on many systems, is relatively simple to use and is very effective at creating "alternate realities." Adding another person to a video or taking a person out becomes quite simple using products such as Mocha. Here is a quick example using a lift from the video in question.

=== Page 54 === This was done in yery quickly ... and not by an artist, in under 30 minutes. It's very simple. Given another 30 minutes it could be made much more convincing by adjusting the texture and lighting as well as blending the composite layers.

=== Page 55 === The Video itself. The benefit of sites like "You Tube" for someone posting up an altered video is "compression". Videos that are loaded up to most of these sites are compressed for easier playback by the masses. Often the file type or codec is also changed from the original. The more compressed a signal is the harder it becomes to spot irregularities in a video. The compression of a video file (to make it smaller and easier to play from the web) results in digital noise. The more compressed the noisier the signal (picture) is.

This noise creates masking, making it difficult to spot chromatic aberrations and similar "tells".

{f{In optics, chromatic aberration (CA, also called achromatism or chromatic distortion) is a type of distortion in which there is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same convergence point. It occurs because lenses have a different refractive index for different wavelengths of light (the dispersion of the lens). The refractive index decreases with increasing wavelength.

Chromatic aberration manifests itself as "fringes" of color along boundaries that separate dark and bright parts of the image, because each color in the optical spectrum cannot be focused at a single common point. Since the focal length f of a lens is dependent on the refractive index n, different wavelengths of light will be focused on different positions.

There are two types of chromatic aberration, axial (longitudinal), and transverse (lateral). Axial aberration occurs when different wavelengths of light are focused at different distances from the lens, i.e. different points on the optical axis (focus shift). Transverse aberration occurs when different wavelengths are focused at different positions in the focal plane (because the magnification and/or distortion of the lens also varies with wavelength; indicated in graphs as (change in) focus length). The acronym LCA is used, but ambiguous, and may refer to either longitudinal or lateral CA; for clarity, this article uses "axial" (shift in the direction of the optical axis) and "transverse" (shift perpendicular to the optical axis, in the plane of the sensor or film).

These two types have different characteristics, and may occur together. Axial CA occurs throughout the image, and is reduced by stopping down (this increases depth of field, so though the different wavelength focus at different distances, they are still

=== Page 56 === in acceptable focus). Transverse CA does not occur in the center, and increases towards the edge, but is not affected by stopping down. In digital sensors, axial CA results in the red and blue planes being defocused (assuming that the green plane is in focus), which is relatively difficult to remedy in post-processing, while transverse CA results in the red, green, and blue planes being at different magnifications (magnification changing along radii, as in geometric distortion), and can be corrected by scaling the planes appropriately so they line

Using Electronic scopes (Waveform, Vector Scope, RGB Parade and Luminance) it is easy to see chromatic aberration, and various other traits of a lens. A wide angle lens used in the making of this video will handle light different than a lens of a different number of elements or focal length would. Using the original camera: a test would be performed using a chip chart and color bars. Either NTSC or PAL depending on the format of the camera. (see Below)

=== Page 57 === C

USAForensic

Photographing the Black & White Chip Chart & the Color Bar Set up card would show Chromatic aberrations (RGB separation) on the scopes. This deviance could be measured and compared to the picture coming from the original camera. Distance from the camera, light sources, color temperature of the light source(s) would have to be factored in. Any scratches on the lens or dead pixels on the CCD chip would also be noted.

=== Page 58 === This is an important baseline test because many people doing a composite would not take into account dead pixels or chromatic aberrations. These begin to play a factor in compositing. If there is a dead pixel on the "plate shot"- first layer of video, then it should be present throughout the entire video. If, for example, a person or item crosses the dead pixel and it disappears and reappears as the person passes it ... that is a very good "tell" it is a fake. It works the same for lens scratches, dust or any other irregularities on the plate shot.

Shadows are also important in composite shots. Does the light source remain constant .? Are there any unaccounted for shadows, shadows missing, or not aligned with the light source?

Is the color Purple, if in the shot, consistent. purple is the most difficult color for RGB cameras to accurately reproduce. It tends to go various shades of blue without a proper white balance. If the shades of purple shift, that's also something to be analyzed.

Benefits of compression masking aberrations through noise:

{{ A compression artifact (or artefact) is a noticeable distortion of media (including images, audio, and video) caused by the application of lossy data compression. Lossy data compression involves discarding some of the media's data so that it becomes simplified enough to be stored within the desired disk space (known as a data rate or bit rate for media that is streamed). If the compressor could not reproduce enough data in the compressed version to reproduce the original, the result is a diminishing of quality, or introduction of artifacts. Alternatively, the compression algorithm may not be intelligent enough to discriminate between distortions of little subjective importance and those which may be objectionable to the viewer.

Compression artifacts occur in many common media such as DVDs, common computer file formats such as JPEG, MP3, or MPEG files, and some alternatives to the compact disc, such as Sony's MiniDisc format. Uncompressed media (such as on Laserdiscs, Audio CDs, and WAV files) or losslessly compressed media (such as FLAC or PNG) do not suffer from compression artifacts. The minimization of perceivable artifacts is a key goal in implementing a lossy compression algorithm. However, artifacts are occasionally intentionally produced for artistic purposes, a style known as glitch art or datamoshing. Technically speaking, a compression artifact is a particular class of data error that is usually the consequence of quantization in lossy data compression. Where

=== Page 59 === transform coding is used, they typically assume the form of one of the basis functions of the coder's transform space. When motion prediction is used, as in MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4, compression artifacts tend to remain on several generations of decompressed frames, and move with the optic flow of the image, leading to a peculiar effect, part way between a painting effect and "grime" that moves with objects in the scene. Data errors in the compressed bit-stream can lead to errors similar to large quantization errors, or can disrupt the parsing of the data stream entirely for a short time, leading to "break-up" of the picture. Where gross errors have occurred in the bit-stream, decoders continue to apply updates to the damaged picture for a short interval, creating a "ghost image" effect, until receiving the next independently compressed frame. In MPEG picture coding, these are known as "I- frames", with the 'I' standing for "intra".

Mosquito noise

Video compression artifacts include cumulative results of compression of the comprising still images, for instance ringing or other edge busyness in successive still images appear in sequence as a shimmering blur of dots around edges, called mosquito noise, as they resemble mosquitoes swarming around the object}}}

If a person is going to produce a composited fake. One of the best weapons in the arsenal is video noise. It covers up edges and fine lines that might otherwise show faults in the composite. Beyond the technical issues. One must also take into context why someone would want to create a composited video file. A political, religious, celebrity or business figure would be a common target. Many tabloids make millions of dollars by taking pictures out of context or altering images.

Example: A picture out of context would be a photo of a celebrity in the middle of a "eye blink" ... possibly making the celebrity look intoxicated. Of course, though not important to the public in general, but legally significant is "how was the video obtained" ::: was the process legal in the country or region.

Has the person or persons who allegedly recorded this been charged with any crime? 6. do the person or persons have any previous records of violating any laws.

Recommendation:

I would request to examine the original camera with the original video, in its original codec still on the camera. I understand it is being held as evidence. A chain of custody of the evidence would be strictly upheld.

RE: Preliminary Forensic Video Analyses Report

Dear Board of Directors,

Thank you for the opportunity to forensically review the audio/video evidence at issue. Attached are 3 signed copies of the report with attachments.

To properly determine the authenticity of the evidence at issue, it is standard procedure to either have possession of or at least on-site access to the putative original evidence for non-invasive, non-destructive testing and digital copying. My equipment is portable, as going on-site for testing and copying is routine. I may suggest delivering copies of my Report to Mr. Ambiger, DSP of the Karnataka CID in Bengaluru, India and to Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam in Bidadi, India. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thank you, have a great week, and I remain

FORENSIC VIDEO EXPERT'S PRELIMINARY REPORT

Dear Board of Directors,

INTRODUCTION. We were retained to objectively review a particular video recording, two particular forensic video reports and six (6) YouTube videos, all described below. Preliminary results of such analyses follow the explanation of the analyses.

EVIDENCE REVIEWED. The video at issue is a 23m12s video - with no audio content - in the WMA format (221 MB; "created Mar. 12, 2010, 9:59:04A") obtained from the Life Bliss Foundation. A screenshot of the beginning of this video follows:

12/23/2009 23:21:34 Screen Shot 1.

YONOVITZ & JOE, L.L.P. -Forensic Audio/Video Analysts and Experts Preliminary Forensic Video Raport for Life Bliss Fdn, - Pane 1 of 16

=== Page 74 === ANALYSES OF SELECT YOUTUBE VIDEOS. 1) In the first YouTube video entitled "Swami Nithyananda SEX SCANDAL Video Nithyananda Ranjitha Full Video.flv", there is music as well as commentary interjected into the otherwise silent video. Such audio and linguistic insertions of any nature, by definition, materially change the putative original video. The reason why such embellishments would typically not be admissible in any U.S. civil or criminal court of law relative to the putative original is because such changing is necessarily and substantively misleading and mischaracterizes the video evidence received, which has no audio. Clearly, also, the deliberate choosing of the nature of the music inserted dramatizes the video content of the evidence and, of course, changes or adds to what the embellisher wants the viewer to take away from the otherwise silent video. The undersigned does not speak the language of the commentator, but such commentary should be done before or after the viewing of the (silent) video - not during, as that likewise materially misleads or mischaracterizes the original silent video.

In addition to the above, there are nineteen documentable edits within the otherwise continuous video. Specifically, there are five (5) edits at 0m54s, 1m01s, 1m10s, 1m19s, 1m30s into the coverage; then there appears to be the black-and-white (B&W) processing effect at 1m43s into the coverage. Two seconds later there is an apparent splicing back to the previous segments. Then there are ten (10) edits at 1m47s, 2m09s, 2m16s, 2m32s, 2m44s, 2m51s, 2m53s, 3m08s, 3m12s and 3m23s into the coverage. There appears to be the same B&W effect segment starting at 3m37s into the coverage. At 3m40s into the coverage, there is no transition as it goes right into a portrait of the Swami while the inserted music continues. In sum, this video is not a true and accurate copy of the video evidence received, and there are inserted content (dramatic music and commentary) that materially mischaracterizes the original content. 2) As previously stated, the link to this YouTube video goes to the exact same video as the one described above. 3) To view this video, the following directive was at this homepage: This video may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as determined by the video uploader (Learn More). To view this video please verify you are 18 or older by signing in or signing up. Like the YouTube video above, this video has music but different than the above. The music inserted during the original video includes chanting. In addition to the comments for the first YouTube video analyzed, which all apply here for this YouTube video as well, there are thirty (30) documented edits within the otherwise continuous video. Specifically, there are eleven (11) edits at 0m14s, 0m42s, 0m59s, 1m15s, 1m46s, 2m07s, 2m24s, 2m29s, 2m32s, 3m02s, 3m13s of the recording. There is a blurring effect at 2m07s and 2m28s into the recording. Adding, deleting or changing anything within the original video is misleading at the least and fraudulent at the most. Blurring of a part of a video insinuates impropriety, so, for example, if nothing improper is transpiring in a video, then strategic blurring could mislead otherwise.

=== Page 75 === At 3m24s into the recording, there is a professional transition from fade out of the previous segment to fade in of another segment. A screen shot of this (#5) is above. After this transition to another segment, there are seventeen (17) edits at 3m32s, 3m39s, 3m44s, 3m50s, 4m03s, 4m08s, 4m16s, 4m21s, 4m23s, 4m25s, 4m28s, 4m32s, 4m41s, 4m47s, 4m50s, 4m52s and 4m57s into the recording. Then there is break into another B&W effect at 5m08s into the recording. The video and inserted music ends at 5m11s. After the end of the video, the following scrolling "credits" of eight seconds are seen: thanks nankeeran by ranjitha fans accosiation from abudhabi

4) The beginning of this YouTube video is seen in Screen Shot 4, above. Note that the inserted music is of different music and singing than the other videos. The time and date information of the putative original video has been blurred. There is one edit at 0m52s into the recording. This video ends at 3m07s and can be seen in ScreenShot 5, above. By definition, this video has also been edited and is therefore not authentic and potentially if not actually misleading, relative to the putative original video.

5) As stated above, this link to the YouTube video (see Screenshot 9) has been removed and is no longer available to the general public.1

6) The beginning of this YouTube video is seen in Screen Shot 10, above. There is commentary (and music) from the beginning. The video at issue does not start until 2m02s into the commentary, see Screen Shot 11. It is remarkable from the outset that much of the content of this YouTube video is not in the video at issue, e.g., the woman at the beginning of this video (Screen Shot 11) is not in the video at issue. This underscores the obvious conclusion that the video at issue is not an accurate copy of the actual original video. It is remarkable that of the YouTube videos reviewed, this YouTube video is the most professionally produced, especially as it relates to the way the video at issue has been edited. For examples, i) the way the edited segments have been transitioned to fade out as a new segment is faded in appears to be professionally produced; and ii) the edited video at one point is in a split screen with other video. There are many edits, all apparently designed to further the agenda of the producer of this commentary or documentary, as is the choice of music and the way the music is synchronized to the video. The more that this (or any) video is edited or mixed, including the choice of music, the more prejudicial the video is made in light of the fact that the putative original is a silent video. Nonetheless, it is still remarkable that all the people in all the videos reviewed are fully clothed.

=== Page 76 === ANALYSES OF THE FORENSICS REPORTS. Two "Examination Reports" were reviewed, both of which were from the Forensic Science Laboratory of the Government of NCT of Delhi. One was dated "02/6/10" and the other dated "12/11/10." A copy of each report is appended to this report. In re "Examination Report" (2 pages), No. FSL 2010/P-2031/PHY-93/10 (herein- after referred to as "Report 1"), dated "02/6/10": The analyses by the Forensic Science Laboratory Delhi were per the request by Deputy Inspector General of the Police of C.I.D. Bangalore. What was examined were 2 "Sandisk" memory cards (70 and 213 "video clips"; format of "clips" and capacity of cards not specified in the Report) and 1 Moserbaer DVD with "video recordings" (quantity not specified in the Report). This Report is substantively lacking, even though it states that there were 34 "deleted files" in one of the memory cards, and 24 "deleted files" in the other memory card. The Report states that ENCASE software was used, but did not detail exactly what analyses were performed, nor did Report 1 compile its findings in order for the reader to understand or replicate its findings. For example, ENCASE software is a product of GuidanceSoftware. In one of their publications (EF PS 8090-50004, entitled "ENCASE Forensic - Transform Your Investigations"), it states that a "completed case is only as good as its final report." The undersigned completely concurs. The reporting capabilities include the ability to "create compelling, easy to read, professional reports for every case." And yet the Report in this case has no details to support its findings or conclusions. In fact, the ENCASE software is set up to generate complete reports to be "consistent across an examiner's entire caseload." This is consistent with the objectives of the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) - the Forensic Science Laboratory Delhi is a NABL member and yet did not apparently produce a Report consistent with NABL standards and readily completed with the ENCASE software that they use.

What was reportedly examined were: * Memory Card, Exhibit 1A: 70 video clips (or shots) + 24 deleted but retrieved files * Memory Card, Exhibit 1B: 213 video clips (or shots) + 34 deleted but retrieved files The Report states that the above video clips or shots were in "digital video format" and no "alterations" were concluded based on Non-Linear Video Editing & Storage System & Video Analyst System. It is remarkable that the Report 1 does not state the exact "digital video format." The characteristics of various digital video formats, e.g., GVI, AVI, DivX, QuickTime, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, etc. differ and may affect the forensic authenticity analyses of a given video. As for the Non-Linear Video Editing & Storage System, it is not clear because it was not specified how a video editing method was employed to determine the authenticity of any of the clips.

YONOVITZ & JOE, L.L.P. -Forensic Audio/Video Analysts and Experts Preliminary Forensic Video Report for Life Bliss Fdn, - Page 9 of 16

=== Page 77 === As for the Video Analyst System, likewise, the report is deficient in providing the essential information about what was performed and how any analysis was performed - information essential for another forensic examiner to understand the analyses and/or to attempt to replicate the procedures and findings. * DVD, Exhibit 2: 116 video clips

Again, the report is deficiently unclear in that there is no explanation of which of these 116 video clips were also in the 283 clips within Exhs. 1A and 1B. Nor does Report 1 discuss the significance of the duplicated clips, or the clips that were not duplicated. Also, Report 1 states that there are "Retrieved video recordings of deleted files from memory cards along with the video recordings in the memory cards marked Exhibit-1A and Exhibit-1B," which are apparently provided in the DVD marked "Copy of Exhibit-1A & Exhibit 1B." And yet another way that Report 1 is deficient is that it does not expand or explain the forensic or legal significance of such findings. Another remarkable finding is that Report 1 is explicit in stating that it "contains 116 video clips" (Report, p.1), but also states in another paragraph on page 2 of the same report that the (same) DVD has all of the video recordings, along with the retrieved files on that DVD. In other words, the DVD either has 116 video clips in it, or 341 video clips (the sum of all the clips and retrieved files from both memory card), but not both, as the report states. Such inconsistency is very substantial. Furthermore, Report 1 does not explain the content, much less their forensic significance, of the clips or shots? Nor the content of retrieved files? Nor the relationship of the clips to deleted files? Nor the significance of video clips and deleted files? Etc. In re "Examination Report" (3 pages), No. FSL 2010/P-3243/PHY-152/10 (herein- after referred to as "Report 2"), dated "12/11/10." The analyses by the Forensic Science Laboratory Delhi were per the request by Deputy Inspector General of the Police of C.I.D. Bangalore. It is not obvious what the purpose or objective of the forensic examin- ation of the same evidence is months later. Nevertheless, what was examined were 5 exhibits:

Exhibit-1 San Disc SDHC 8 GB memory card; facial image of male = Exh .- QMFI and facial image of female = Exh .- QFFI * same SN as earlier Report but references "male person in the video recording" (emphasis added) and yet there are supposedly 70 video clips or shots + 24 deleted clips - "the" recording vis-a-vis 70-94 clips? Exhibit-2 San Disc SDHC 8 GB memory card; facial image of male = Exh .- QMFI and facial image of female = Exh .- QFFI * same SN as earlier Report but references "male person in the video recording" (emphasis added) and yet there are supposedly 213 video clips or shots + 34 deleted clips - "the" recording vis-a-vis 213-247 clips?

YONOVITZ & JOE, L.L.P. -Forensic Audio/Video Analysts and Experts Preliminary Forensic Video Report for Life Bliss Fdn, - Page 10 of 16

=== Page 78 === One of the many confusing aspects of Report 2 is that there are the same Exhibit designations of people from different discs. This, by definition, means that the person at issue in one file is identical (positive identification) as another person in a different file. Although the serial numbers of the 2 memory discs are the same in both Reports, one report spells the make as "Sandisk", while the other report, by the same author, spells the make as "San Disc." Exhibit-3 Moserbaer DVD w/2 folders: Photos (w/8 JPEGs) + Video (w/Video.MTS) female in video and stills = Exh .- SFFI Exhibit-4 Moserbaer DVD w/1 folder: Video (w/Video.MTS) with stills; male in video and stills = Exh .- SMFI

Exhibit-5 Sony spy camera in air purifier w/1 adapter and connecting cable It is very remarkable that the Examiner in both Reports give the serial numbers to the memory cards, but not the model or serial number of the "Sony spy camera." The only "forensic" conclusion about the "spy camera" was that it was in "working condition." Making controlled test recordings of this working "Sony spy camera" would provide very helpful information as a baseline to compare all the other recordings. Exhibit 5 also claims an "adapter" and a "connecting cable." It is very remarkable that a forensic report does not elaborate on these 2 items. Is the adapter, for example, a microphone, or voltage converter or regulator? What was the adapter used for? What was the connect- ing cable used for? How did either effect the original recording? Why was the total lack of any audio not addressed?

It is very remarkable that the Examiner in both Reports states that the video recording in the memory chips was that it "can be recorded" by the spy camera. The significance of this opinion was not provided in the Report 2. Likewise, the legal or forensic significance of the "opinion" that the memory cards "can be inserted in the memory slot of spy camera" is unknown. Arguably the most remarkable "opinion" from the Examiner in Report 2 is that from an "image of person" having an unqualified "resemblance" to another can lead to the conclusion that that person and a particular another person "are of the same person." From "resemblance" to a positive identification based on the information in Report 2 is forensically, scientifically and even logically untenable. ANALYSES OF THE 23m12s VIDEO AT ISSUE.

It is clear that there are content in the YouTube videos that are not contained in the 23m12s video (see, for examples, ScreenShots 3, 4 and 11, above); and, there is content in the 23m12s video that is not contained in any of the YouTube videos analyzed. Likewise, there is video content before and after the beginning and ending of the 23m12s video at issue. Therefore, by definition, this means that the 23m12s video is not a true and accurate copy of the original, as there is at least video content before and after the beginning and ending of the 23m12s video at issue.

YONOVITZ & JOE, L.L.P. -Forensic Audio/Video Analysts and Experts Preliminary Forensic Video Report for Life Bliss Fdn, - Page 11 of 16

=== Page 79 === There is no audio in the 23m12s video at issue. The fact that there is no audio in the video analyzed is especially remarkable in light of i) practically every video recording shot in real-time (vis-à-vis time-lapsed video) with the capability of sound recording has sound in the video recording; and ii) although Report 2 inventories the "Sony spy camera in air purifier w/1 adapter and connecting cable," it does not elaborate on the nature and purpose of said "adapter" or "connecting cable." ili) Neither Report 1 or 2 notes any video with or without audio. The video at issue is described variously as a "sex scandal." The main contention appears to be when a woman allegedly appears to be performing oral sex on the male subject. This is not irrefutable based on the angle of the recording system, i.e., only the back of the woman's head is seen, and nothing about the front of her head, what she is or is not exactly doing and what the male subject is or is not doing, are visually obvious. Then the likelihood of what is or is not happening should be based on the circumstantial visual information available: What is apparent from the visual information available are as follows:

i) the male subject's arm is nonchalantly resting behind his head before and after the woman's head is lowered (see Screenshots 12 and 13, below): ii) the male subject's head and attention are both directed to the television before and after the woman's head is lowered (see Screenshots 12 and 13, below); iii) the male subject's demeanor is unchanged before and after the woman's head is lowered, e.g., his breathing rate does not appear to change, his facial expression does not appear to change, no part of his body, e.g., his hands or arms, is apparent of any on-going sexual activity, etc. (see Screenshots 12 and 13, above)

Screen Shot 12, at 19m42s. YONOVITZ & JOE, L.L.P. -Forensic Audio/Video Analysts and Experts Preliminary Forensic Video Raport for Life Bliss Fdn, - Page 12 of 16

=== Page 80 === Screen Shot 13, at 22m53s. Note that his demeanor, e.g., attention to television, relaxed (not aroused) arm resting nonchalantly behind his head, relaxed body, no remarkable facial expression, remains unchanged before (Screenshot 10) and after (Screenshot 11) the woman's head is lowered. CONCLUSIONS. 1) Based on the information provided in Reports 1 and 2, it is of the expert opinion of the undersigned that such Report may not be admissible in any U.S. court of law, or may not survive a Daubert reliability challenge2. 2) Based on the information provided in Reports 1 and 2, it is of the expert opinion of the undersigned that there is no forensically tenable basis to authenticate the silent video at issue, i.e., there is no forensically tenable basis to make a scientifically valid determination that the video at issue is a true and accurate reproduction of the original recording. 3) The YouTube video clips reviewed are very misleading, if not outright fraudulent, from an evidentiary standpoint: There are edits, insertions of music, singing and/or commentary, which are more than mere misrepresentations of the putative original video content. 4) The 23m12s video at issue is clearly not a true and accurate reproduction or copy of the putative original video, as there is content before the beginning and after the end of the 23m12s video that exists, and as it is likely that the audio content was removed after the fact. In fact, this 23m12s video at issue is an edited version of the true original. Nevertheless, determination of authenticity of this 23m12s recording can be made with more information and additional forensic analyses of the equipment and evidence analyzed in Reports 1 and 2, described above. 2 A Daubert challenge is a pre-trial hearing before the judge where the validity and admissibility of expert testimony is challenged by opposing counsel; the expert is required to demonstrate that his/her method- ology and reasoning are scientifically valid and reliable and can be properly applied to the facts of the case. The undersigned has been Daubert challenged once, and overcame it completely. A copy of that Daubert Order, which also explains the elements of scientific validity and reliability, is attached.

YONOVITZ & JOE, L.L.P. -Forensic Audio/Video Analysts and Experts Preliminary Forensic Video Report for Life Bliss Fdn, - Page 13 of 16

=== Page 81 === In summary, given the visual information available in the 23m12s video, either there is sexual activity at the end of the 23m12s video received, or there is not. If there is sexual activity, it is most remarkable that there are no outward signs of any sexual, physical or emotional gratification of the male during or after the alleged event. To the contrary, it is much more likely that there is no sexual activity at the end of this 23m12s video for the reasons stated above. In addition, there is another compelling reason to substantiate the likelihood that no sexual activity is transpiring at the end of the 23s12s video: if one covers up the female in the video from view, then no viewer of that video can logically determine with any certainty the exact second or moment that the alleged sexual activity at the end of the video starts or ends.

RE: Preliminary Forensic Video Analyses Report

Dear Board of Directors,

Thank you for the opportunity to forensically review the audio/video evidence at issue. Attached are 3 signed copies of the report with attachments.

To properly determine the authenticity of the evidence at issue, it is standard procedure to either have possession of or at least on-site access to the putative original evidence for non-invasive, non-destructive testing and digital copying. My equipment is portable, as going on-site for testing and copying is routine. I may suggest delivering copies of my Report to Mr. Ambiger, DSP of the Karnataka CID in Bengaluru, India and to Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam in Bidadi, India. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thank you, have a great week, and I remain

Sincerely, VONOVHZ & JOE, LL.P. Forensie Audio/Video Analgsts, Experis Consultants
