That launched a complicated scramble to rebuild the video files, according to documents included among the millions released so far in what have become known as <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/epstein-files-released-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the Epstein files<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/epstein\/files\/DataSet%209\/EFTA00163708.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">A &#8220;high-level overview&#8221;<\/a> of the steps taken to do so was compiled in July by an FBI digital forensics and analytics section chief.<\/p>\n<p>The effort involved obtaining another copy of the footage that remained stored across two files on a NiceVision digital video recorder, the system used in the jail. One of the video files started at 7:40 p.m. The other started at 12 a.m. and ended at 6:40 a.m. On May 21, 2025, an agent used a screen capture tool to re-record the footage from NiceVision.<\/p>\n<p>But 62 seconds of footage couldn&#8217;t be captured, leaving a gap from 11:58 and 58 seconds, to 12:00.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Soon after the video was released in July, members of the public noticed it jumped from about 11:59 to midnight. Rather than explain that the footage had been pieced together from a copy, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the reason for the gap was that the prison recording system had a nightly reset resulting in a lost minute every night.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There was a minute that was off that counter, and what we learned from Bureau of Prisons was every year, every night, they redo that video,&#8221; Bondi said on July 8, noting that the system was old. &#8220;Every night is reset, so every night should have that same missing minute. So we&#8217;re looking for that video as well, to show it&#8217;s missing every night.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It appears Bondi had accepted a speculative conclusion summarized by the section chief, that the system reset nightly, losing that minute. It&#8217;s a theory that appears to have been unverified.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Video Specialist theorized the NiceVision systems at this time required time to write files and caused a real time delay in what is recorded resulting in a gap of time not recorded right before midnight,&#8221; the section chief wrote. &#8220;The Video Specialist was unable to test the accuracy of his theory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Experts told CBS News in July that the time delay theory was implausible. None of the security system specialists CBS News spoke with had heard of a system that had that issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department has not replied to questions about the video files.<\/p>\n<p>An FBI specialist tried to merge the screen recordings using the video editing software Adobe Premiere, but &#8220;Adobe Premiere did not work with the video file format the screen capture was created in,&#8221; the section chief wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The specialist then used software called Fast Forward Moving Picture Expert Group &#8220;to convert the files to a format capable to ingest into Adobe Premiere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That stage led to one more apparent discrepancy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/the-fbis-jeffrey-epstein-prison-video-had-nearly-3-minutes-cut-out\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">discovered last year by Wired<\/a>, which &#8220;found that one of the source clips was approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds longer than the segment included in the final video, indicating that footage appears to have been trimmed before release.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Wired analysis was correct. The section chief called it &#8220;standard practice&#8221; when doing a screen capture to include &#8220;padding&#8221; to the end, extra recording time that can be pared back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When the screen recording was brought into Adobe Premiere the padding was trimmed,&#8221; the section chief wrote. Wired pointed out that the first video file used in the screen capture was the one with &#8220;padding.&#8221; It ended at 11:58:58, &#8220;which suggests the two (clips) would overlap.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/jeffrey-epstein-jail-video-investigation\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS News investigation published in July 2025<\/a><\/span> noted a shift in the video&#8217;s appearance, known as its aspect ratio, after midnight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The section chief explained &#8220;the aspect ratio of the file was also corrected to create a more natural appearance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The full footage,\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/jeffrey-epstein-missing-minute-jail-video-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">including the missing minute<\/a><\/span>, was made public by Congress in September.
