      You are seriously confused.

      And you are seriously trying to kill the messenger.

      OP specifically said that you’re fucked if there is no visual cue.

      And I’m saying there’s ALWAYS a visual clue/cue, always. Either the bike is there one minute and gone another, or a fight breaks out and trashes the place from the fight. In the vast amount of cases, there’s always a visual difference.

      And in this case we’re talking specifically about a bike, going missing.

        Absolutely not true. Guy walks bye and shoots someone well offscreen. Momentary action with no visual cue before or after. Why are you arguing this useless point?

          The person dropping to the ground dead would be the visual cue.

                Is this on purpose?

                The shooter is on screen the victim is not.

                This is on purpose isn’t it. You’re fucking with me.

                  This is on purpose isn’t it. You’re fucking with me.

                  Sorry, I thought you were saying that the guy walking by was off screen, and the person on screen was shot, since the focus of the conversation was about binary search based on what’s on the video.

                  Guy walks bye and shoots someone well offscreen.

                  In that case the shooter, walking up and then holding up a gun and pulling the trigger would be the marker, as well as the puff of smoke, for the binary search, which could be done with AI, if not human eyes.

                  Also they would know the approximate time of death, so they can use that to extrapolate a range on the video that they need to binary search on. I’m pretty sure this is normal police work that I’m describing at this point.

                  Having said that, that’s one hell of a hypothetical you made there. At some point you could definitely come up with an example of when a binary search wouldn’t work, but not based on what the OP was discussing, or what others were discussing about two people having a fight on camera.

                    You are trying really hard for some reason to fit a binary search into a discussion about a situation where it clearly does not belong. Very weird but very passionate I applaud you.

            Not if he’s off screen. It’s only a visual cue if it’s captured by the video.

            If you have a separate video of the guy falling over dead, you can use that video to get a window of time to view in the other video, but one video that captures only parts of the scene can easily leave you with no visual cues.
