FUNimation DBZ TV Blu-ray Official On-Going Thread

[sumpter360]

Quick question. What do I use for taking screenshots of the Blu-ray?

[jjgp1112]

there are 2 US dubs , and new one and the old one that was used with the falconer music

No, the Faulconer audio track had the redubbed voices too. None of the orange bricks had the original 1999 Vegeta or whatever it is you thought they might have.

i could swear i heard " holy cosmos" some were and promptly swiched back was srue the reivew on here metioned it as well , i didnt torture myself with that Japense track for nothing[/quote]Huh? The 1999 dub is NOWHERE to be found on the Season sets. On both the JP score and US broadcast track, the voice performances have been redone. Chris Sabat redubbed Vegeta and Burter, Sonny Strait redubbed all of Krillin's lines, Linda Young and Stephanie Nadolny redubbed Frie­za and Gohan up to a certain point. Whatever slip-in from the 1999 dub is all in your head, apparently.

you mean to say i tortured myself with that track for nothing , still the US track is in 2.0 is that still the same for this set ?

"Tortured"?

[jjgp1112]

Clearly, he doesn't like the Japanese score. Nothing wrong with that.

[Metalwario64]

Okay, so now that we have the actual Blu-Ray shot I was looking for... What the hell?

Dragon Box:


Blu-Ray(downscaled):


So... Why the hell are the lines in the background on the Blu-Ray shot so different? I'm certain I got the right frame on the Dragon Box, I couldn't get one that looked exactly like this (unless MPC was skipping a frame or something), so what happened?

Does FUNi's film look like this? I notice damage towards the bottom of the Dragon Box frame... Don't tell me that they are just redrawing those damaged portions of the film without knowing how the details there are supposed to look...

The only way to be sure is to have that exact Piccolo shot as well. I know for sure that exact frame wasn't on the Dragon Boxes (the bottom looks pulled from the next frame).

Hey... are these AVC or VC-1 encoded?

Also, it's very cool that if you downscale the bluray, it's now the sharpest image.

[SSJMan]

Its avchd

[bkev]

I find these excessively grainy; it seems to me that these come from the same masters that the Ultimate Uncut edition do. Only the difference is they've cleaned the film damage and unzoomed the footage, I guess? Well, even if I'm wrong about that (it's possible the UUCs just came from their tapes) I hope I'm not alone in being reminded of their colors/grain intensity.

[jjgp1112]

I don't see any difference other than the lines being sharper.

[MarcFBR]

It's AVC. AVCHD refers to a specific file format/setup that uses AVC.

[Metalwario64]

For anyone who can't see what I'm talking about in terms of detail discrepancy between the BR's and the DBOX, I made images that show where to look to see the different details:

Dragon Box:


Blu-Ray:

how bout not downscaled ? is the brown on his scouter ruined in all of the versions like that ?

[SSJMan]

I have uploaded the video of the blu ray menu. (URL removed by moderator.)

[Undercooked Sausage]

Only one thing could make me run out and buy this before bigger sets come out, and that is: has the japanese audio been approved at all?

[enapace]

I not sure I going buy it at all I have nothing against anyone who does. But I personally like the DBOX colours which this does not have.

Freeza vs Goku is unaltered and hammy as ever, while everyone around them (Accept Kaio, I take it, being voiced by Schmmeul) was redubbed. There's the problem.

From what I can tell, this is a direct copy of the menu file on the disc, and that's not cool. For legal reasons, we'd prefer that you just posted a few screenshots from the menu instead.

I am sorry. I was going to upload the Japanese audio as well. But i might as well just tell you. The Japanese audio does sound better because of better compression . But It is still sounds just as muffled. Not worth getting if the only reason was to have better sound in Japanese But on the other hand the English audio sounds absolutely amazing in hd (if you have average speakers you may not hear a difference.)
