In Orion's version, if you can pause it at exactly 24 seconds...

I still can't see it in the other version, but that's what I get for trying to draw any conclusion from any crappy-quality YouTube video. I'll take your word for it that you can see them there too.

BUT I will also consider Jay's statement about digital encoding errors, a subject I am most ignorant of, by my own admittance.

When the camera rotates between frames, the major digital motion picture encoding schemes are smart enough just to move the appropriate zones from the previous frame to their new spot in the frame buffer instead of recompressing them from scratch. When doing this on the fly at low quality settings, they don't always line up, creating single-frame glitches when the zone moves a long distance between frames. Those single-frame glitches can leave little white "cracks" in the image, or noticeable discontinuities.

It would take some significant effort to study whether the data supports the wire theory or the motion-glitch theory better. And better video.
