Trouble burning Semi-Pro - Page 3 - Club CDFreaks

Dialysis1 · 04-06-2008

I finally have success with the full movie and movie only widescreen or the fullscreen but I had to have another program running in the background. The actual running time of the movie is 1:31.19.

csbond2 · 04-06-2008

had no problems with semi-pro region 1 it never froze at any point. used 5.0.2.8 widescreen unrated version. burned with nero.

LDLDL · 04-06-2008

I backed up the movie only version and there were too many options to pick from as far as the 16:9 version. There were 4 versions. I picked one, backed it up and at the end of the movie, it just went blank.... no credits, nothing. If I back up the full movie, the quality won't be that great. Being a movie buff, I just want to preserve my originals which are housed in the DVD 400 Disc player. I use the back ups for the other rooms in the house. I guess I really don't need to see the credits.... It's just that, when I looked at the movie on the original, movie credits showed.
Anybody's thoughts?????

Scan to the end of the movie and see if you get the credits!

Glad to see some others are getting it to.

For the rest is it possible that we have a lot of bad presses out there?

Didn't have any problems after that at all, but make sure you uninstall or disable AnyDVD before copying another DVD, it may cause some problems, but it does work out for the hard to copy DVD's....

yes i agree his is the way to do it....
btw i had trouble with the eye as well it copied 98% then froze..........

Even using DVDFab 5.0.2.8 Beta I too could only get to 98.08%, but using AnyDVD to rip it to HD then copy with Fab worked great!

Did you get the last couple of minutes where the guy who won the $10,000 got a package in the mail with the money and the closing credits ? or did it just stop where the screen went black ?

Would you expand a bit on the setting for ANYDVD and DVDFAB - were they the defaults? I am trying it now but it seems to be taking a very long time. Tried copying the movie to my hard drive with ANYDVD but got an error?

Jimbo · 04-06-2008

I didn't copy to the hard drive, just followed the above post from bschuster, they were the default for anydvd and just let it scan (not copy to hard drive) then open FAB and burn normally, but I burn DL media at 6X not 2.4

Thanks - am trying it your way now. Much slower than other copies!! I am burning to SL at 4x - if that does not work I will try a DL. I always elect to burn as slowly as possible - get great results that way and hardly any coasters! Use three computers connected via a 4 unit KVM switch so I can burn and with a single click switch computers to check the posts, etc. Multi-tasking with full power to each task!

dskiff · 04-06-2008

Jimbo, Many Many thanks. It worked like a charm to SL. Thanks for the tip.

HAMsmoke · 04-06-2008

Anyone who is reading the AnyDVD forums knows that it too has problems with Semi Pro. They have found out however that Titleset 7, evidently a preview that starts by showing a motel, is what causes all the difficulty. Therefore, someone should try the Customize option in DVDFab, uncheck Title 7, and see what happens.

I do not own the disk, so cannot comment on anything firsthand.

No....
Only on the original!
My back-up stopped when the screen went blank.

beachbumm · 04-06-2008

I'm going to do the same!

Psycho6 · 04-06-2008

Region 1 Rated Ver

The last 5-6 minutes of movie gets truncated every time.
The movie just ends abruptly without credits or anything else.

I tried Full Disc, Movie Only, Customize with PP w/o PP,
I tried WS and FF.

I've tried rip to HDD and then disc, I've tried direct to disc,
same result.

(The analyze starts fine, the rip and burn run fine.
I just loose the last few minutes... like several other posters).

I also tried Shrink and Ripit4Me, both just hang and do nothing.

DVDKingdom · 04-06-2008

I also was missing 5 minutes. After playing back the original I found the actual length is 1:31:22. While examining the titles in customize mode DVDFab is showing it as 1:25:43.
