Who has the Dragonboxes and basic DVD imagecapturing

Post by knuckle9 » Mon Jun 11, 2007 4:29 pm

Hi all, I was wondering if any of you guys that have the Z Dragonboxes could post a screen cap of when Piccolo arrives to fight Freeza on Namek.

The shot I'm talking of has Piccolo situated to the left and Gohan bent over in amazement in the bottom left.

Thanks guys, I'd just like to see how this scene fared in the Dragonboxes quality wise.

I'd just like to point out that the image posted is a JPEG, and possibly subject to lossy compression artifacts. (Which looks to be the case here, unless my eyes are fooling me.) So if you're surprised by a certain lack of quality, it's probably from the image and not the actual DVD content.

I guess it just depends on what you need the image for, though. If you're comparing it to other releases I'd recommend taking a PNG (lossless compression) screenshot of the same frame for accuracy purposes... but if it's a casual look-over you can probably get a pretty good idea from that.

Thanks a lot. Yeah I remember taking a shot of this from my Funi DVD and it looked kind of old.

This looks much better though.

FYI: You don't need any fancy image capture software these days, just hit snapshot in VLC.

Wow, cool!

You wouldn't happen to have Dragonball Z episode 187 subtitled would you?

I would like it if you could scan the part where Kanzentai Cell states that he has "Limitless power (This is right before Cell shoots piccolo's beam cannon at Gohan)!"
"Wisdom is the principle thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding."

Hey, I have unlimited power. I can also beat up anyone who sets foot in my home.

I can record audio of me saying that, too. Hell, I could have have Steve Simmons translate it over to Japanese and then back to English.

That would prove that I really do have unlimited power, and can also beat up anyone who sets foot in my home...

... right?

Hey, I have unlimited power. I can pummel anyone who sets foot in my house, too.
I can also record myself saying that. For that matter, I can have Steve Simmons translate it into Japanese, then back into English again.

Maybe, but what does VegettoEX's unlimited power have to do with anything?

If that is true, how come you need a scouter to sense power levels?

Really? By the looks of your Avatar pic you DON'T have unlimited power!!!! It is obvious that your scouter is about to BUST from reading Cell's "Limitless power." statement.:lol:

Anyone got the screencap of Cell with the limitless power statement?

Or how about Majin buu (Kid Buu) destroying a Galaxy in episode 220. "The Appearance of Darkness! ! The Evil Magician Babi Dee..."

You're missing the sarcastic point of everyone's comments.

Just because someone says something in the show doesn't make it true. Your posts are over and over requesting these types of things, all in a fruitless attempt to prove something that is flat-out unprovable. Don't think I haven't seen your account banned on other forums across the intarweb for similar types of absurd requests ultimately leading up to indignant attitudes.
