Class Descriptions
Medex Examiner Training Course
Course Description
This course will prepare students to use Medex in complex authenticity or file origin cases and provide expert opinion testimony in court. Students will gain foundational knowledge of how digital video is encoded and stored in order to provide an expert analysis of it. It will also focus on the use of Medex in performing complex authentication examinations of digital video (including deepfake videos) as well as identifying the source of unknown video files. A variety of cell phone captured and transmitted video, as well as cloud and social media stored files are utilized to effectively interpret and gain insight into video from various sources.
Key Topics
- Identification of device that originally created/transmitted a video file
- Understanding video file metadata
- Deepfake video detection
- Social media / cloud stored video considerations
- Articulating expert results

Class Descriptions
Medex Advanced Multimedia File Analysis Training Course
Course Description
This 4-day course starts with training in detailed binary analysis of digital multimedia files, specifically focusing on the most common formats, i.e., ISO BMFF (MP4, MOV, 3GP, 3G2, M4V) and RIFF (AVI). Building from this foundational skillset, the course continues with a focus on troubleshooting video files with H264 encoded video, specifically focused on AVCC implementations of H264 encoding in ISO BMFF files.
The course concludes with an overview of digital video authentication workflows, focused on structural analysis and metadata analysis. Attendees will learn techniques to compare digital encoding structures and train on Medex’s Reference Library of known encodings to be able to differentiate between original camera video, video that has been edited using software programs, video that has been reencoded by social media platforms, and videos that have been generated by deepfake software.
This course will also prepare attendees to use Medex in complex authenticity or file origin cases and provide expert opinion testimony in court.
Key Topics
- Bitwise and byte-wise information representation
- Multimedia format structural design
- ISO Base Media boxes
- How samples are stored in ISO Base Media files
- How h.264 is structured
