State v. Ahmed, 909 A.2d 1011, 2006 ME 133 (Me. 2006)
Any time parties wish to present evidence to the court through audio, video, or computerized media, the parties must prepare and present the evidence in a medium that can be made a part of the record. The evidence must be presented through a medium that can be retained in the record for review on appeal and with a technology in presentation that allows review by a trial court, a jury, or a court on appeal utilizing available technologies. Before offering any audio, video, or computerized evidence for inclusion in the record, any party should assure that the technology is available to preserve the offered information as part of the record and to replay the item as may be necessary during the proceedings before the trial court or on appeal. A party who offers into evidence audio, visual, or computerized depictions that cannot be made part of the record and preserved within the court record in a manner capable of being replayed, may be viewed as having not preserved for appeal any issue regarding that item of evidence. State v. Dill, 2001 ME 150, ΒΆ 10 n. 5, 783 A.2d 646, 650.
