I have a theory that you're pretty close to there.įirst up, this footage is exactly the Dragon Box footage, no doubt about that. Was the Dragon Box ever mastered in HD like the Orange Bricks were? What's interesting here is the grain that and the lack of blown out whites suggests footage that is closer to the Dragon Box footage.

Is this a legitimate remaster from Netflix or is this just a really good DNR/upscale job? Had it been in 480p or somewhere around there, the maximum would have been "560" as shown in the following screenshot. When I went to take a look at the resolution control, I saw the maximum was at "910." This number presumably being the height. Next, I did a little bit of digging, particularly at the Japanese Netflix to see if it had originated there and I did see something interesting there as well. (I made sure to get a lot of Bulma in memory of Hiromi Tsuru). First I present a few screenshots of the encode. What do I think? Well, I'm not sure of anything but it seems like an HD transfer of the film print. Now before I continue, I'm not advocating piracy or encouraging it on this thread, this is simply a discussion about what might be going on behind the scenes.


I took a look at it and it does look a step above the Dragon Box.

I don't know what to make of it but it definitely is interesting.Ī 720p "WEBrip" encode of Dragon Ball episode 1 had briefly surfaced and disappeared. Something interesting floated around the Internet this week.
