The Olympic logo in the end is near the bounds of the 16:9 safe frames when in the 4:3 broadcast it's within the 4:3 safe frames (There should be more spaces on the side when this clip is transmitted in 16:9.) Check 0:04 secs on the Youtube clip and the file provided, seek to 0:02.66 secs (or as close a possible, I use QuickTime to view the file). The "track image" on the file version is cut vs. the complete picture in the YouTube clip. Do a comparison as you go along on the YouTube clip and the file you provided. I'm pretty damn sure about this one. I don’t think so I’m wrong on this one.

I think you're wrong :-) CK. Wait, David, it looks like the 4:3 version is a crop of the 16:9 version I provided. I think you’re wrong :-)

Thanks for that! CK. The 16:9 crop is how it was transmitted on the HD broadcast of the opening / closing ceremonies, which is all I had. Thanks for that!

Try to find the one from Torino 2006 (the official one). The Athens 2004 official opening beats the one from Beijing 2008.
