You (and others) seem to miss the fact that the end of the TODA was more than 1000mt from their lift-off point.
I have read the definition of take off distance. Now you re-read it. It refers to Engine failure at V1.
I agree that we don't know the position on the runaway that they achieved V1 and agree that looking at the video, it's speculation that stopping would not have been possible from minimum V1. However on a dry runway V1 normally approximates Vr.If they rotated at Vr. They certainly could not have stopped from any point within the previous 500' of where they started the rotation.
Boeing clearly says that during a normal takeoff 150' is easily achieved by the opposite end of the runway. It has been referenced in previous posts on this thread. It's in the Boeing training manual.
My opinion is that sadly there is a serious lack of professionalism by some who suggest that this was a normal take off.
