Sorry EX, You're right... I'm evil, lol! j/k. But, If some one who owns the boxes would work with you and supply you info and screencaps of the extras... but that's the problem, getting someone to help on such a project.

We should also get episode screencaps and bitrate info to put to rest all the debates about DragonBoxes vs. FUNi DVD's. [yoda voice]A good addition to the "Rumors" section that could be, hmmm?[/yoda voice]

A lot of it would be very technical things I probably wouldn't even be able to answer; I don't know, exactly, which filtering and clean-up processes both the Japanese and American authoring studios use on the footage. I can make some pretty educated guesses, but I don't want to "guess" at stuff.

In terms of bitrate and direct frame comparisons, that could probably be done pretty easily. Something like,

RUMOR: The Dragon Box sets look amazingly better than FUNimation's DVDs!

... with an answer of "Decide for yourself" with some actual un-touched, lossless PNG images to go along with it.

Oh, how I wish I had thousands of dollars and far more free time...!

I won't give complete episode rips, DVD ISOs, or anything like that, but small clips (openings, closings, recaps, previews, etc.) I don't mind ripping, especially since they're not available stateside *at all* in some cases, be it Toei or FUNi's fault.

I totally agree with you and besides if you want to rip openings/closings without credits and all the things you told it's simply GREAT !!

My god I wonder if if I can wait until this week end, you play with my heart MajinVejitaXV !

Agreed. I can guess what they do, but I can't be certain...

Anyway, I'm willing to help with PNG files and technical specs (bitrate, FPS, etc) if you want. I can only do the Toei sets, as I sold all the DBZ discs I had, save for the movies (and two which EB couldn't find in their system?). If you're serious about it, I'm me sometime and we'll coordinate (oh, and did I ever send you that last VOB for the DB intros?)

As far as money goes...I built my credit with the Dragon Boxes ;p

I watched this little special on my friend's DVD a while ago... it's pretty crappy overall but it's worth watching at least once for the amusing novelty value.

Now a rip of the track that contains all the DB and DBZ TV commercials would be pretty neat too.

Then it was locked by Shinjis Dad.

By the way , that video was used in the chinese version of DragonBall Z for the menu of the dvd.

I know that but t in these menus (because I saw them at my firend's home) the clip only lengths 30 seconds and it loops.
I remind you it originally lengths more than 3 minutes !!

So I let you imagine all we didn't see !! That's why we need our friend MajinVejitaXV because he's the only one who accept to rip it !!
