Broly Blu-ray Screenshots Thread

I didn't mean Blu-ray in itself I mean Dragonball on Blu-ray. I don't need to see Goku in 5000 Giga-watts in my way back machine to be happy, but I guess some people do.

Those screens look really good...until you enlarge them.

The blue-ray screens looks decent but the US dvd broly and vegeta screenshots looks crappy.

Yet ironically, the FUNi DVD offers superior detail in the animation than the Blu-Ray, due to Vp&T's remastering process. Don't be too mesmerized by the uber brightness. Although, I suppose the Blu-Ray release does contain the equivalent amount of frames as the Dragonbox release, since some may nit-pick that FUNi's digi-beta masters for the original DVDs contain a minuscule slightly less amount. Then there's also if the Blu-Ray's is a closer color scheme to the Dragonbox, rather it is or not, not everything balances out. It's weird how many variables there are when it comes to releasing a DBZ movie.

Can we get a comparison/side by side of the Dragon box screens as well? I know Corey is usually our go to guy (thanks buddy) for this sort of request. Sorry I cant add much to this thread besides requests. 0_o

If comparison shots aren't up by the time I get home, I'll post them. Although I am talking about at night-time.

Yeah, I shot some but noticed they weren't the exact frames, so I can post them if people are interested. I was just going to go back when I had time to retake them.

Wow, I actually thought that the FUNi-shots looked BETTER than the Dragonboxes. Though, I can only assume that there is at least one scene in there with disappearing lines, right?

Good Funimation, you look kind of cool.

I didn't notice any disappearing lines. Also, keep in mind that the one advantage FUNimation has is that their footage is natively 1080p whereas the DragonBoxes are standard definition (480i/p). If you blow anything up by a factor of 2.25, no matter what the algorithm is, it's gonna look a little blurry

Still, this does prove that FUNimation is still altering colors/contrast/etc, and that detail is being removed thanks to the DVNR performed on the footage.

.... I like the Funi version one better.

I can't see that much detail loss on those shots...
Color tampering yes, but not detail loss.

Call me crazy, but in all of the screen shots posted, I have yet to see any evidence of loss of detail. Absolutely none. Maybe the claims "Mr. Bad Conversion Guy" made were true, the Season Sets lack of detail were the result of a bad down conversion.

Yeah, I'm beginning to suspect the same. Still doesn't excuse the cropping though.

Am I the only one who thinks Broly's hair and Aura look better in the old Single DVD release? The Saturated footage makes it look fuller. Other than that, these Bluray images are kick ass.

Yeah, sure. And the wings teenagers put on Honda Civics actually serve a purpose

That doesn't make any sense, seeing as down-conversion usually results in sharper images. It'd be hard to screw that one up, even for FUNi.

I can see them clear as day on the Vegeta pic in the OP.

I agree, though why is it then that these images look so clear and vibrant?
