• Comments: This is the opening of the Remastered Dragon Ball Z Season Sets. I got this from Season 4, starting at the Trunks Saga. The only difference between this and the ones from the previous seasons is at time 2:12.5 where Vegeta turns Super Saiyan and Trunks slices Frieza, and at the very end where Goku turns Super Saiyan.
  
  ***I can upload more clips by request. Send me PMs of the parts you want to see and I will consider them. Also, if you know how I should re-encode videos to create the best quality for YouTube, it would be appreciate if I were given recommendations.
  
  All of the Dragon Ball Z Remastered Season Sets were captured in 1080p High Definition then put on DVDs in widescreen format (EDIT: It was brought down to 480p when put on the DVDs but doesn't change the fact of the detail they captured it with). It's uncut, with an additional audio track of 5.1 surround with original Japanese music. It's also in the original framerate and with the more natural, intended colors. It can also be watched with the Japanese audio, subtitled.
  
  *I took the same frame from both captures, old FUNimation and new. I TOOK THE WORST POSSIBLE CASE SCENARIO THAT THE WIDESCREEN CAN DO!! WORST WORST WORST!!! where Goku is turning Super Saiyan, it's not like this because they show from his body to his hair so they are able to make the capture a little higher and capture more of his hair. It actually looked better in widescreen because you were actually able to see his ears. Now here's the link of that worst case scenario.

  *Also, the opening and ending to DBZ was made almost in a perfect 4:3 format so there, there INDEED was a lot cut off. But the quality difference is insane. Have a look. The top one is from Dragon Box and the bottom is from these remastered sets. (NOTE that these are not full quality pics and that colors are a little altered in both these shots and they look better in reality. As a matter of fact, that remastered picture looks worse than the encode I have of that.)

  *Here's just another comparison between DragonBox and Season 1 Remastered. It's very hard to tell which one looks better {rolls eyes}

  *MOST IMPORTANT!!!!! Now that we're done with the worst of the worst, look at how much MOST OF IT was cropped as I have come to notice. Mostly, there's BARELY ANYTHING cropped from top to bottom and a lot more seen from side to side. Also, once again, just like on any professional review, frameshots of anything, especially when looking at difference in quality are a very bad representation. That can only be seen by looking at two identical TVs side-to-side with both captures.

  Now... STOP BSing AND COMPLAINING!!! I am sure of all my information! I do not work for FUNimation and there is no reason for me to lie to you. No vulgar comments on this matter or else they will be deleted and/or you will be blocked. Thank you :)
