enemy of the state

i am using dvd fab decpter,dvd shrink and dvd santa to burn the movie turns out great but at the being of movie for 5 to 10 mins there is a little cam and 1/2 sign in upper right hand side of tv how do i get reid of this that has also happened in 3 other movies i have record i have tried eveything i can think of i am a noob but would like your input thanks

 

Hi thinktj,

That little cam is your on-screen display indicating you can change angles. Check your dvd player's manual and turn off on screen display.

 

but it only happens on a couple of dvds and it comes and goes while you watch it sometime it only happenes a the being of movie but on enemy of the state it does it all the way throught poping on and off

 

so how can i fix so i don't have it. it really drives me nuts seeing it you don't see it in the orginal but just on copied on

 

Thinktj,

On your dvd remote you need to go into your player's setup,
then go to the display icon. On mine it is the "ABC" icon and turn off "On-screen displays".

BTW. I do have Enemy of the State (Region 1) just checked and it does have 2 angles.

 

thinktj,

Ok, I put in my backup of Enemy of the State, turned on "On-screen display", angle icon shows up at approximately 20 seconds into the movie. Fast forward, shows up quite regularly.

Played my original, you are right, no angle icon. Fast forward through the whole movie, nothing. VERY STRANGE as opening up the disc, definitely shows 2 angles.

Turn off your on-screen display as per your dvd player's manual. I only see the icon flashing on my player and if that gets really annoying I use the dimmer and have no display at all. I don't think all players have that function.

 

i tried fixing my dvd and its a philip and i can change it from 1/2 to 2/2 but can't turn off i called there number got some lady how don't know anything all she told me was to unplug if anyone has any ideal i really do appreciate it thanks alot for the response

 

Thinktj,


Here is a list of Philips dvd players, click on yours and a manual will come up.

I did check out 2 different models and none of the manuals indicated how to turn if off, so I goggle searched and it appears that Philips have a design flaw in this regard.

All I can suggest, is to redo "movie only" and choose Angle 1.

 

thank you it looks like i need a different dvd player thanks for all the help and how far you went to help me

 

You're welcome thinktj.

Helping you was also a learning process for me. I recently backed up "Cars" movie only. I knew this also had 2 angles, so I played a few minutes, looked for the angle icon to appear on my player, and sure enough it appeared. So the advice of movie only doesn't hold true, at least with the AnyDvd/CloneDvd combination I used. I'm not sure if the programs you use will remove the angle icon.

I also learned that not all dvd players have the option to turn off the multi-angles. This was a novelty for a few movies, but soon became a major annoyance.

You may want to look at this thread where JaguarGod indicates how to remove the multi angles:
