Kodak Watermark in Berg video is a HOAX
Nick Berg beheading & the prison torture video frome the same CAMERA is HOAX
First of all there are NO tapes - both files came from the i-net . ( if you have the 2 AVI files [Nick Berg beheading & the prison torture video] fell free to send an e-mail).

Point 3 Kodak sales Video cameras ? I found 3 cams : DVC325 , DVC323 & DVC300 digital video camera.
4 Why should one of the five leading computer and consumer electronics companies - Hitachi, Ltd., IBM Corporation, NEC Corporation, Pioneer Electronic Corporation and Sony Corporation -use a Kodak technology that works on stills ? This 5 majors have formed the Galaxy group.
