	The cleaned footage signal was then run through a da Vinci 2K Plus color system to ensure that the colors were true to the original film prints.

	The final media for transfer was Sony's HDCAM, a fully high-definition digital tape. The film was laid to tape at 1080p HD at 24 frames per second. The frame-rate is important to note, as it allowed the film, which was originally created at 24 frames per second, to be transferred to tape frame by frame. This frame-rate prevented any unnecessary data from being added to the final video, and preserves the film masters at the highest quality possible.}}		The final media for transfer was Sony's HDCAM, a fully high-definition digital tape.

All eyecatches are presented ~~correctly~~. No ~~Next Episode Previews~~ are provided. The English audio (with original soundtrack) is selected by default.		Each orange brick features episodes of ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' with branching video tracks depending on the language selected:

			* With English voices selected: an altered English-only episode title card is displayed; openings are creditless; each episode's ending has credits that are all actually those ripped from [[Dragon Ball Z Episode 1\|the first episode]]).
			* With Japanese voices selected: the original Japanese episode title card is displayed; openings are creditless; each episode's ending has credits that are all actually those ripped from [[Dragon Ball Z Episode 1\|the first episode]]).

			The opening theme uses its second animation version (of four total), while the ending theme uses its first animation version (of two total). [[Funimation]]-specific credits are featured on the English video track's ending animation. All eyecatches are presented in their correct location mid-episode. No "next episode previews" are provided. The English audio (with original soundtrack) is selected by default.

Previous to this release, episodes [[Dragon Ball Z Episode 1\|1]] through [[Dragon Ball Z Episode 39\|39]] of Dragon Ball Z were not available subtitled in North America (Region 1), having only been available heavily edited on VHS and DVD featuring the Canadian ("Ocean Studios") voice cast. The "[[Ultimate Uncut Edition]]" DVD line was planned to cover the first 67 episodes with Funimation's new in-house redub, but was cancelled after Volume 9, in favor of these new "season" releases; the content of the "Ultimate Uncut" episodes did, however, air in their entirety on Cartoon Network and Toonami's "Adult Swim" block.

	{{Quotation\|To accomplish the Dragon Ball Z remaster process, FUNimation worked with Video Post & Transfer, a Dallas-based post-production house. The original Japanese film masters were transferred via an industry-standard Spirit DataCine, passing through a Digital Vision DVNR1000 to remove film grain, and then receiving a further round of processing using a Teranex VC600 video computer. These digital noise-reduction units each helped to remove thousands of instances of dirt, scratches, and debris.<br>		{{Quotation\|To accomplish the Dragon Ball Z remaster process, FUNimation worked with Video Post & Transfer, a Dallas-based post-production house.

	The cleaned footage signal was then run through a da Vinci 2K Plus color system to ensure that the colors were to the original film prints. The da Vinci 2K Plus is an industry standard system used for color correction in feature films and broadcast, and was primarily used in this instance to set the levels of the whites and blacks in the film in order to present the colors in a manner faithful to the original prints.<br>		The cleaned footage signal was then run through a da Vinci 2K Plus color system to ensure that the colors were true to the original film prints.

	The final media for transfer was Sony's HDCAM, a fully high-definition digital tape. The film was laid to tape at 1080p HD at 24 frames per second. The frame-rate is important to note, as it allowed the film, which was originally created at 24 frames per second, to be transferred to tape frame by frame. This frame-rate prevented any unnecessary data from being added to the final video, and preserves the film masters at the highest quality possible.}}		The final media for transfer was Sony's HDCAM, a fully high-definition digital tape.
