Like I said before, when I open them up in Power DVD and image capture them by clicking on the camera icon... it ends up looking like that after I paste it in paint.
I dunno why the size is so small, but that's the way it was converted onto DVD-R disks it seems...
Anyways has anyone compared those 2 pictures with the Funimation version yet?

You lack the capabilities and resources to properly do comparisons so please stop asking for them, stop advocating them and all together just drop it.

Don't be so naive. Gather your own evidence and make your own decisions. Don't rely on Funi to give you information about Funi. I personally don't expect these releases to be all that much better than the ones in the past because I don't trust them anymore.
Take the episode that has the least amount of grain on it and make it letter box. I'm betting that's roughly what is coming for all eps. Which isn't bad, but its not what I wanted, and its not exactly what they are telling us is whats coming.

Right click on the camera icon, select 'Capture to file', and select 'Original video source size'. That
should give you 720x480 or 720x576 images.

Thank you for the instructions SatoSky, I keep it in mine for further referance... and if that doesen't work theirs always Power Point where I can stretch the images to match DBW's ones.

Ugh... no. Stretching the images would just make things worse but whatever.

Gokuden, just to let you know, the bootlegs that you have are very low quality compared to the original Dragonbox. You got ripped off. There are better bootlegs out there, and even better official releases.

I think he just wants to let everyone know that he has them, he obviously got ripped off because they are bad quality, and he obviously hasn’t read the rules as he keeps going on about them, oh and his signature is too big.

I know that, and I'm never going to order anything off ebay again... I learnt my lessoon on that since the day I played them on my DVD player.

Just curious, what region does your dvd player play, Gokuden?

You can call me Rick because I'm not actually Piccolo.
I missed out on all of the DB Movie fun, huh?[quote]Point blank: it's gonna suck if you want it to. Personally, I'm seeing it as a comedy.[/quote][/size]

That's exactly what I've been wanting to ask, that and wether it's NTSC or PAL.

It's PAL yet the disks work for some reason, it's almost like they were converted onto DVD-R disks by someone?
Though I still regret buying fake ones, but I suppose that's what happens when a series doesen't get releaced in your country and you feel left out

Dude, I'm from England too. It's not hard to buy bootlegs it's easy and cheap. I know as I have some myself too, I also have purchased the official product though as well. If you can join up on ebay you can join up on other websites too that have the genuine product and buy it from there.
I don't care that you have bootlegs, really I don't, and I know it’s harder and more difficult to get the genuine products where we live but to go on a Dragonball forum and flaunt your bootlegs in almost all your posts, well that's a different story.

What the fuck don't you people understand?
There is to be no continuous bootleg discussion allowed. Get it through your thick skulls.
