Bootleg topic! Real vs fake

[SuperSaiyaManZ94]

I just wonder what the video quality of the episodes on these is like, if it's a bootleg i can imagine them looking like crap and compressed to hell compared to FUNi's official versions of the Blue Bricks. Now that said, the packaging is indeed nice looking for something that isn't legit.

Funny how they make these things look so close to the original, authentic versions.
Compare that with bootleg DVD's of the series from over a decade ago that had some of the most terrible and amateurish cover artwork i had ever seen

Oops! I forgot to post the screenshots I made from these fake blue bricks! ASAP. They are not on my PC so thats the reason it took a little longer

I am curious if the video footage was taken from the Dragon Box. That wouldn't be too bad.

In the unlikely event that's the case, someone's going to have to point me in the direction of these bootlegs!

I'd be really surprised if that were indeed the case, but i'm not convinced until screenshots are posted to verify the quality of the transfers themselves whatever they happen to be.

Good looking bootleg but still a bootleg. Not gonna risk trying to buy this as the quality is probably badly compressed.

And what should I see on my PC ?

The DVD size and also worth checking if you see any compression (pixelated picture).

What does "DVD size" mean, exactly? I have a suspect copy of Berserk Remastered I'd like to confirm.

DVD size can either mean DVD5 or DVD9.

DVD size can either mean DVD5 or DVD9.

So if it's a dual-layer DVD, it's probably good?

Maybe. But bootleggers try to always use the cheapest options available.

This really looks good. If wasn't for reading news and know information from internet, I would not call this as bootleg, because it really doesn't seems like it on the first view.

I erroneously made another topic dealing with bootleg DB Super Blu-rays. Did not realize this topic was here. In any case, I wanted to advise anyone purchasing the Super Part(s) BDs online to be cautious. There are counterfeits that look so close to the official product it's insane. This video I found better explains the differences between the Funi product and the bootlegs:

What's more is that some 3rd party Amazon sellers (who use Amazon's own shipping service) are selling these as official, when they're not. I see some of the season sets have run into this issue as well, but I think these look even more deceiving.

That looks just about like the Blue Bricks themselves, albeit a tiny bit more compressed compared to the real deals. I must say judging by those screenshots these certainly don't seem quite as bad as some of the cheaply made bootlegs of the series especially of DBZ that i've seen which cram a butt load of episodes per disc and over compress them to the max.

Seems legit to me, those definitely look to be the authentic Madman releases.

Ever seen this before? https://link.marktplaats.nl/m1469981104

Looks like dragon box set, but different. And missing box 7.
