How can the singles look better than the DF that are made for DVD & BD?

But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

You can notice there's detail loss, looks too smoothed and I can't say for myself the DFs are better than the Singles, for me they aren't.

Dragon Box > Singles > DFs

Now I agree the DFs here looked better, in fact, kind of Kai-ish quality in a way even.

But the DFs are flawed.

Most of their doings in the past were terrible. But then DBoxes & Kai came.

And these are really tiny, low-resolution shots.

Movie 5's double feature definitely looks better than the single. There are some instances of the film being too dark, or looking a bit too blue, but everything else is better.

And let's not forget that the improved encoding really helps a ton:

I've come to the conclusion that movie 1 and 6 are the only films that look better on the singles, and that's only due to how over brightened and over-saturated they are on the double features. They should have been better, but they look so bad to me. Movie 1's single is sharper anyway, so besides interlacing, it's definitely superior.

Ya i searched up dbz movie 1 and the UUE was pretty sharp so i ordered it plus the first broly single. I actully like the color scheme of movie 6 and i have the blu-ray of it so ill stick with that. The return Cooler is actully the movie i own the most of. I own the VHS, Singel DVD, the remastered dvd and the remasterd blu-ray so i could switch off when ever i want.

That's just the Blu-ray, which never went out of print.
