Something I always thought strange is that people would call their unfinished stuff "beta tests" ...I always heard that in the software/gaming industry before seeing it used here. I guess I just called my unfinished video stuff test renders or "gaygaygay03.avi"

Oddly enough, that's almost exactly what everyone else calls your finished stuff.

In the early days we just called unfinished stuff previews, and the people who watched them, previewers. Much the same with fanfiction and prereaders. Now everything is beta.

From what I know, these are more commonly refered to as jump cuts

Can we get "beta?" I have an idea of what it means, but I'm not completely sure

And I don't want to like...mess up with using it or something

beta is commonly used for an unfinished video that you want to show people...

It's true. The quick comments don't lie.

Wow,it's a good thing that it didn't got locked yet lol XD

Anyway - I'm not sure if it's much about AMVs,but I don't quite get one more term here in the forums :

R1,R2,etc. - DVDs.

Does it means 'Region' or 'Release'? Or maybe even something else?
