https://doi.org/10.30764/1819-2785-2025-3-25-31
Abstract
The article considers the methodological approaches developed by forensic institutions of the Russian Ministry of Justice for forensic examination of videophonograms (videograms/phonograms) when solving the tasks of their comparison in order to determine the fact of obtaining the videophonograms from the original one. The presented methods are applicable to solving a wide range of tasks, including: determining presence or absence of changes in video recordings, describing visual environment in the video, as well as characterizing the acoustic environment based on audio recordings and other similar tasks. The methodology produced by the Department of forensic video and audio examination of the Russian Federal Centre named after professor A.R. Shlyakhov of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation can be used in particular to study phonograms as part of complex forensic examination of musicmaking objects and of criminalistic examination of video and sound recordings.
