Is anyone actively working on this project/idea across any episodes? I have a bunch of episodes encoded and though I might try to redo everything using what I know from this thread and another (discussing the audio sync issues kei17 pointed out).
I thought I would do some of my favorite episodes and then possibly the DBox The Movies set and was wondering if anyone wanted to pool resources. My ultimate plan is to just have AVISynth scripts for all to use as it is a single file that can have all adjustments.
Many of us can just rip the DVDs and use the AVISynth file and whammo - instant color correction.
So far I'm keeping adjustments to a minimum (as that appears the best way to avoid visual artifacts), but here are a few comparison shots so far:
It's from DB episode 119. I love the episode, but the colors always bothered me - but no more! I figure many people might benefit from this as it seems like the US might get a DB Dbox release?
Also, for those familiar with it, here is the AVISynth script:

All that is needed is to drop that textfile into the directory you ripped the episode to achieve those results.
So, anyone working on this? If so, let me know... I think I'm going to go work on DBZ Movie 6 as Metal Cooler in that movie is a bit green in the DBox...
