I remember watching a play last year in an Oklahoma game where there was a question as to whether the runner's knee was down prior to the ball breaking the plane. They ruled TD on the field and reviewed it. One angle showed when the ball broke the plane but didn't show the knee as there was another player in the way. Another angle showed exactly when the knee was down but since it was an endzone shot there was no way to determine where the ball was. The couldn't overturn the call because they had no evidence.
All I know is that all video footage should have a time code imbedded in it and if all angles are linked together and started at the exact same point in time then one angle could show when the knee was down and then some other angle would show the location of the ball. This would solve the problem of not being able to see everything from one angle. This should be possible though I'm not sure of the cost of it.
