Re Premier Plongee

Did anyone else notice at time mark 3:14 to 3:17 there is a round canister shape at mid-left of frame exiting to bottom left.

Can anyone with better computer graphic capability than I examine those few frames, particularly at 3:17 to see whether this is the FDR Memory Unit that was found on Sunday 1st May?

Maybe I am reading too much into this, but if so, it is located very close to the FDR chassis, as shown by the large tube assembly at mid-right of frame that was also shown in the photos published by BEA on 27th April. In fact, that object appears in the still photo of 27 April. Unlikely, but makes me wonder if it was missed on the first path. To be so close to the FDR chassis would suggest separation within the aircraft on impact, but both chassis and memory unit were contained within the structure long enough to effectively descent together. Far fetched..... I suspect so, but a close look by a graphics expert would quickly eliminate this conjecture.
