    Can't figure out Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

    When I put in the DVD, I get 9 titles showing movies, 6 showing 1:29:48 and 3 showing 1:30:38.

    The six are numbered 1(1), 1(2) and 1(3); then 2(1), 2(2) and 2(3).

    I'm thinking some are 4:3 and 16:9.

    The three are 24, 25 and 26.

    Which should I copy?

    I looked at the display when viewing and it said Title 1.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

      I just did this title R1, it has a 1st that I have never seen before.

      It has TWO screen ratios on the disc, OK we've seen this before. Full Screen and Widescreen (1.85 or 2.35) on the same DVD pressing, some are flippers, some on the same side and you make a choice. With "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" you get two choices, BUT the choices are both Widescreen, one is 1.85 the other is 2.35, never seen that before.

      Wide or Extra-Wide:


      DVDFab 6.2.1.8 extracted to HD in about 12 mins, Path Player always enabled !

      @AGJ or other mods, looks like we only have two (2) Meatball threads, can they be merged ?

      Heres' the other thread:

        For Movie-only backup, 6.2.1.8 with PP enabled selects the cropped 16:9 version--green framed in pic, Title 2(1) with play time of 1:29:48. The theatrical release version--red framed--is Title 1(1) with play time of 1:29:46. If PP is disabled, 6.2.1.8 selects some bogus Title 24 with play time of 1:30:38.

          Yes, I understand, but what I'm trying to make a point of is this is out of the norm for what is considered "Full Screen". In the past "Full Screen" always meant 1.33:1 or 4x3 for the old square TV's. Now with everyone moving to WS (16x9) TV's will this be considered the NEW Full Screen, taking a 2.35 ratio and converting it to 1.85/1.78 and calling it "Full Screen", that could get confusing since there is still a lot of out there with a 1.33 ratio.

          The back of the case even says "Full Screen" and "Theatrical Widesreen" versions. In my mindset these are BOTH WS anamorphic versions, not "Full Screen".

          This was the point I was making.

            Sorry AX, I understood your point, and it is weird that the term FS is used in this manner. I didn't mean to contradict or dispute anything you've said. My reply was actually meant as more clarification for the OP.

              Point understood and I agree on the size

              But it is not that people are moving to wide-screen it's because everyone is being forced into wide-screen.

                @tli np, I didn't take it as a contradiction, I was also trying to clarify further. I have the what I need to make my back up, but not sure how I want to create. Never was tasked with which WS do I put on the backup. It's pretty obvous when you have a 1.33 and either 1.85 or 2.35 which to keep for WS viewing, trash the 1.33.

                In this case, for my backup I will keep just the 2.35 so I can put it on a SL disc. The 1.85 is still Chop & Crop as I like to call Pan & Scan.

                Well at least it is for better viewing, a good thing. I usta hate watch 2.35 on my 32 Sq. TV ......

                  That's exactly what I did too. When that initial selection screen first appeared, I was puzzled as to what the 2 choices offered were until I viewed both versions. I never even noticed or read the packaging info.

                    I hope this confusing procedure does not become the norm, and I don't think it will--takes up too much disc space. The two Meatballs threads would not merge well times so I have closed the other one.

                      After blanking Title 2 (1.85 version) and keeping the Previews and Special Features it cuts the folder size down to 4.17 Gb (4,428,161,024 bytes) it fits on a SL very comfortable.

                            The old square TV tubes, and trying to watch a movie with a screen ration of 2.35:1. The horiz. black bars take up approx. 2/3 of the horiz area ...... terrible viewing ?

                              I have the newest version and when I put in the disc (Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs) it just spins but never goes beyond open dvd source. I have checked the dvd in the player and it plays fine and there are no scratches on the disc. Any ideas.
