A lot of people really rag on the quality of the orange bricks, and I can honestly say that they aren't THAT bad. People really make it out to be a lot worse than it is.

Yes, it's cropped, but other than that, it's the highest image quality you can find. Dragon Boxes are extremely grainy and dim. The colors aren't bright at all. If you like that, well, great, but I don't lol.
Don't get me wrong, I do like the Dragon Box quality, but I like the brighter colors of the Bricks as well. The Dragon Boxes aren't that dim either. It's just in comparison to the Bricks that they appear really dim.

^ see my post above yours, OFG, as that's really subjective. The quality isn't "better", it's different. As far as actual FRAME quality goes, it's actually outdated.

I would say that it's better, yes. Cropped images and highly saturated colors don't make for better quality. Hold on. Let me dig up some screen caps.

EDIT: Check out Ani's old thread for help. He's a great dude. http://dbzf.co.uk/topic/8308327/1/

Are you speaking to me? Doesn't sound like it but who can tell these days.

Pressing on, I do like Faulconer's music about half the time. It's what made scenes like Freeza's "death" on Namek, Cell's death, and Super Saiyan 3 Goku's transformation so epic for me.

When Anti-Nation shows the differences between SSJ Goku on Dragon Box and then on Orange Brick, I really have to call a fake. I OWN the Orange Bricks, and NO WHERE does ANY image look that bad. It's like someone went in with Microsoft Paint and erased the lines.

I can say that I watch them regularly and NEVER have seen image distortion of that degree, so where is he getting HIS image from? I'm sorry, but it is NOT that bad. Not even CLOSE.

It's when the pictures move that things get shaky and stuff.

Maybe you could do some screen capping?

I don't need to because I can see it for myself, and because I'm on hotel internet right now with a .2 mb/s upload speed, so that would take far too much effort and time right now.

But yeah, you can rest assured when I say it does NOT look remotely that bad. At least on MY orange bricks.

I could do a screen cap of my dragon boxes later tonight if you guys want to see it on a full computer screen. I guess I could compare it to my DB blue bricks even though the quality on those is much better than the orange bricks.

I think the orange bricks have the Japanese intro, but you gotta put it on Japanese audio. You can't have English audio with jap intro.

That pretty much settles it for me, outside of a few tracks I just don't care for the Faulconer soundtrack, and I want the original openings. Having the original previews and the booklet in the Dragon box set will be nice as well.

I'm usually watching from a few feet away at least, so the grain doesn't bother me much.

Here is a vid I found on YT. It's not the best quality but you can still tell.
