I think, if anything, it would be a better idea simply to keep it within the group of people that own the Dragon Boxes, as opposed to spreading it out where anyone could get a hold of them. o.o

What difference would it make? It would be pretty useless to anyone who didn't already own the DragonBoxes.

They can always add it to their ripped avi downloads. Sadly >.<

My two cents, but I have this feeling that if you've bought the Dragonboxes, wouldn't you have already made it clear in your mind that you either understand enough Japanese or aren't bothered? Not that I'm for or against it, but it would kind of make sense to not really be bothered by a lack of translation, after already knowing you wouldn't get one and have still spent a lot of money on it.

Subsequently, I have .SRT files for Saint Seiya and do not know how to burn them onto DVD-Rs (I own R2/R3s for the series and movies, so please don't attack me)

With me, I wouldn't mind having them or not. It'd be a nice addition, but it's not like I desperately need them. :P

I'm gonna answer for me personally.

I was waiting for years for French DBZ "collector version" that was planned.
They were supposed to have Japanese, French, Italien and Spanish dubs and subs on them, and to be remastered, and put in japanese version where the video was cut.
However, the company having signed a contract for this, broke it, and it got cancelled.

When I saw the Dragonboxes, I thought: Hey, let me use my money that I've been sparing at this, and make myself dbz sets.

My goal has the whole time been to have french uncut dub (wich I grew up with), and English subs as another option.
Why? Because I love watching DBZ both these ways, and I don't know enough Japanese to watch it raw.

So, if someone wanna co-operate with me to get the whole series retimed AND own a dragonbox, AND can promess they won't do illegal things with the subs, please contact me!

I think people are missing the point of my request earlier.

Do whatever you want, say whatever you want, including illegal / grey-area / questionable things... as long as it's not on my forum. This includes using my forum to contact people to do these things with. Locked! Thanks :D.
