That footage is the official NASA one. They also taped the entire thing
from the other side of the shuttle. They released today some of that
footage and was shown on TV. From that side it is clear that there was
a fire in the upper-mid section of the right SRB which ignited the explosion.
That also explains the reading of a sudden loss of pressure measured by
the instrumentation. They found that when going through all the taped
they have.

I understand that NASA will be releasing more footage in the next few
days.
