Okay, I have uploaded MPEG II videos of M-2 and M-3. Still not AVI, nor
3/4", but they are good enough. If you look at M-3 at 10.4 to 10.5 seconds
MET, you will notice that the space between the SRBs and the Orbiter (side
shot) is obscured by smoke. At MET 12.7 and 12.8 seconds the first right
SRB stiffener ring immediately below the base of the ET and from there on up
the SRB to the ET is intermittedly obscured by smoke.



Is there some pertinent point to this? NASA says that it leaked at
liftoff, stopped leaking, then restarted leaking.
You say it was leaking all the way up to a greater or lesser degree.
What difference does it make?
