DVDFile is wrong, this disc uses seamless branching. The fact that it displays as three different titles is irrelevant. "The Abyss" shows as Title 1 when you play the theatrical version and Title 2 when you play the Special Edition, as does T2.
Here's what sources tell me about the layout of the new BATB DVD:
The Theatrical version is the "base" video stream. Any changes done by the Special Edition are seamless-branched in. The WIP is actually an alternate angle of the Theatrical Version's video stream. When you get to scenes which were fully completed for the WIP version, the angle switches back to the theatrical version to save space.
So there you have it, a DVD making use of seamless branching and multiple angles to give three very different presentations of a film great looking presentations on one DVD! Bravo to Disney for pushing the envelope.
