Since you brought it up, the Pearl and other murders also show signs of manipulation.

This leads to the logical conclusion that none of these death films are authentic. Not one of them is a straightforward single take, and the argument that each video has a legitimate reason to be broken up at a significant point but is still genuine does not stand up.

In the case of the Berg footage, there is a leap forward of several hours in the video clock from 'attack' to 'decapitation', a deliberately awkward zoom/refocus allowing the disguised editing of the material (i.e. body swapping and/or special effects) and of course the medical logic that a living head could not be swiftly sawn off with such a small knife and produce so little blood.

.

What are you talking about ? There is alot of blood in the Nick Berg video. It flows across the floor as Zarqawi saws through his neck. You can hear Nick grunting. After removing the head Zarqawi holds the head up in front of the camera. Then the scene cuts to the head sitting on his body with the knife next to it. As far as the knife being small so what, the blade was sharp. You dont need a large knife. I take it you've never been hunting and dismembered a deer.
What other manipulated videos have you seen pressure and what is your point? Are you trying to say that Zarqawi and his men were not as ruthless and savage as they seem to be? You really think they removed the heads after they killed their victims for what reason? Because they have a heart? What's your point Pressure ? For you to state that none of these videos are authentic is just not true. Especially when beheading is the accepted form of execution in the Muslim world.
