2 questions

[Sussudio]

I've been on this forum since early September and I feel dumb not knowing this, but I have 2 questions regarding terms I've seen used over and over again and I don't get what they are.

1) what's it mean when someone writes "bump"

2) what exactly is "seamless branching" in regards to blurays

much apprec

I know bumps are usually just to bring the thread to the top of a section, for example in the trade section I'd add a post to bump my thread to the top...gets it noticed more i suppose

aha, makes sense. thanks. ive randomly seen people just write bump and it isn't their thread and they don't say anything else, so i was confused as to its purpose.

Seamless branching is a method of deviating from the theatrical cut to a director's cut by seamlessly fusing unaffected scenes with the affected ones. For example, the story goes A->B->C where A is not affected but B is. In the seamless branching version, it goes A->B2->C.

DVD and BD have 'em.

1) what's it mean when someone writes "bump"

2) what exactly is "seamless branching" in regards to blurays

both are exactly what they sound like

a bump is post by someone that has no idea what else to add but wants the thread to continue, so he bumps it up back on top with a useless post of "bump" (PS bumping is usually not advised because most of the time if people are interested in the topic they would post to it and it would naturally rise to the top, so someone bumping a thread is pushing up a topic that people are not interested in)

seamless branching (for the most part) is used when they want to have multiple versions of the movie on one disk. Instead of needing to have multiple copies they have one main copy and all the alternate parts, for example a movie that has extended and theatrical could branch from the theatrical (main) to a an other location on the disk where the deleted scene is located and then back to continue the movie. Something like this would need seamless branching because you don't want the user to see where the seams to the deleted scene and back happen. On the other hand you can have normal branching like using a menu to jump to some extras, adding none seamless stuff to the movie (for example in Resident evil you can decide to watch the featurettes during the movie)
