A Grand Slam: In a winning move, NASA probe burrows into a comet

A 372-kilogram copper projectile released from NASA's Deep Impact
spacecraft successfully slammed into Comet Tempel 1 on July 4,
producing some heavenly fireworks.

The ITS movie is interesting:

The pixelization gets worse the closer the probe gets to the comet (?)
Any possible explanation?

It is possible they switched cameras to one on the impact module?
If not, the image is clearly processed, and it is possible that to enhance
the 'zoom in' effect they only used part of the picture in the last frames.
I dunno if there was a camera on that copper module...

The codec for movie encoding has not enough bit rate to encode the filled
frames that change completely from one to the next without artifacts?

If you can't figure it out from my name, then there really isn't much hope
you'll ever believe whatever I tell you.
