I think it's 235. Its right near the end when Vegeta starts powering up after he first encounters Buu. Then the camera starts panning. It's the first frame of the panning shot, and I remember because this is a screenshot I took for a camera pan I made.

Sorry I don't have my set on me right now.

Could I get an episode number and approximate time stamp for this shot? I'm interested to see if the extra 2K bitrate on my Japanese Dragon Boxes makes much of a difference.
It's episode 235.

Much better after all.

Though, I realize now I had removed the color cast from my image. Still, the compression was definitely there in the raw footage, as I've noticed lots of macroblocking on FUNi's sets, even on the last two. Perhaps this was due to the inclusion of the dub.

Well, my suspicions were right then. No macroblocking in sight!

I guess that's what happens when you cut the bitrate, throw in an extra episode a disc along with more audio tracks.

Thats a pretty impressive bootleg...packaging wise. I'll have to be careful when I buy used now.

I've just fallen prey to this same scam! These counterfeit discs are still being sold, it seems.

DO NOT buy this product from Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Dragon-Complete-U ... B00XKMOB1O

That said, does anyone know where I can buy a complete legitimate set of the Orange Bricks?

They are those exactly.

They look perfectly legitimate on the exterior. But the discs are single layered, and very badly compressed.

Well, I've already returned them. But they look like the image from key17.
