Final Cut didn't do the best job exporting but you can still tell which version is better.
Damn...I didn't realize the difference was that big.

Lol that's an unfair amount of dislikes (Probably Dragon box exclusive or Kai exclusive), I can see the exporting wasn't top notch but you can still determine which is better.

@batistabus - Lol that's why I funny that you still get a fair few of people saying Dragon boxes are better, there is no way that a 480p DVD can match a Bluray.

When Toei releases their DBZ HD Remaster in 1080p HD Blu-ray, it'll be the same thing all over again, comparing this and comparing that, comparing etc. :P

IMO: Kai > Dragon Box > Level 1.1
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:
- Kai 2.0 on Blu-ray

Hah, he got stumped when I told him about Kei's original broadcast uploads. He's not attacking the BDs anymore. At least not with the intention of blatantly attacking them.
So mondo lame.

I've come to terms that it's generally not worth worrying about Youtube comments, especially when it comes to anything remotely Dragon Ball related. It's either someone who doesn't know any better or someone looking to rile you up -- or both. I've never once seen an argument come to an agreement to disagree or anything that didn't end in personal insults being thrown.

I don't think so, I may be wrong but I checked through some the settings out of curiosity and couldn't find anything. Looks like you need a decent Blu-ray player to have this option. Or maybe your TV may be capable.

From what I understand it doesn't and cannot do anything with the colors or grain removal, etc.
You would have to check if your TV could do it. PS3's are out of the equation when it comes to color-correction/denoising.
So mondo lame.

Here's Kai.
Again quality is nothing special but it gives you a good idea on how each set looks.
The two videos are a little off.

I'm having a hard time deciding. I think the more "cartoonish" colors of the DBOX fit with the mood of DBZ and are nice to look at. But the more realistic colors are nice in their own right but can be a bit to dark. And the Blu Ray get points for showing more film but as Kendamu said the Blu Rays seem a little flat and seem to be missing something.

Dragon Boxes > Level Sets = Kai

Except certain rare parts of Kai which are superb quality. Level Blu-Rays look fantastic, but the colors are a little too dark and a bit dull, too.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.
