they do that thing in the Fugitive where they record a phone call with the on-the-run doctor and then they say: "What's that in the background? Can you clean that up for me at all?” and a guy twists a few knobs and miraculously they make out the sound of the 24th street bells or something and immediately get a squad of cars round.I want to make the point that at the moment that is complete science fictionbut in the future it may not be and so we have to preserve data gathered now in a lossless format so as to enable future researchers to divine as much as they are able to from it.If the audio was compressed into a crap mp36:26pmgood use of the movie6:26pmthere is no chance that forensic audio improval could do any of that stuff.
