Hello all, there is a small delay in the release of the last 5 videos, they will all be uploaded by the end of this week .

We underwent a server transfer yesterday that caused a few bugs around here (for example, dbzsc sections all redirecting to the main page), but they've all been fixed now hopefully. If you're having problems browsing the site or spot another error, please let me know. Thanks

Hello All!

I hope you are all doing well, I'm doing alright myself. After many requests and much deliberation, I have decided to re-release some old videos and trailers here on the Chronicles. There are 20 videos in total, including 3 music videos and 17 trailers and TV-Spots. These videos will be released over the next 2 months as listed below:

Coming May 2007

May, 02, 07 - Dark Prince Returns Original Edit [Music Video]
May, 02, 07 - Final Atonement Original Edit [Music video]
May, 02, 07 - The Last Saiyan HQ Version [Music video]

Most of these videos have been released at some point here on SC and have been taken off over the last 5 years. Many of these videos are very old and a few have never been released before. By the end, you should be able to see all these videos from start to finish and see how I have developed over these years. I think that is all for today, I will try my VERY best to stay the course and release these videos on time for you guys so wish me luck! Have a good day guys!

Good morning everyone!

As some of you may already know, today is my birthday! *The crowd goes wild* That's right, today your beloved hero(all those music videos) and tyrant (all those delays) turns 22, dun dun dun! This also marks my 5th year as the "Media Guy" here on Saiyan Chronicles .

007 Vegita, over and out .

Good morning everyone!

I finally got around playing my Nintendo Wii yesterday and needless to say, I got hooked. My friends and I played Wii Sports hours on end, mostly boxing hehe. And now my right arm is sore, what a work out . No updates today, and I am still facing problems when trying to upload video tutorials. If only XZ wasn't hiding from the US federal marshals...I could have used his help . I'll try my best to upload these videos so hang in there just a little longer, and don't forget, next week the Vegeta DVD's are coming out!

This February Funimation will release their newest Dragonball Z DVD box set. This package will feature the Saiyan saga of the series and will include:

- The complete Vegeta saga: 39 Episodes on 6 discs.
- 900 Minutes of Action.
- English Voice Track with Original Japanese Music.
- Includes 24 page booklet filled with episode summaries, character descriptions and a DBZ timeline.

The box set is sold for $34.99 at the Official Funimation Dbz store. Funimation stated that this box set was digitally remastered in High Definition frame-by-frame. They claim that the new footage is presented in 16:9 format (1.78:1) with more than 20% new footage on both sides of the screen.

There are a few things that you as a buyer need to keep in mind. Firstly, these Dvds are NOT HD-DVD, they are STILL presented in Standard Definition format (720x480). Secondly, even though funimation claims that their new 16x9 format has allowed for more footage to be seen on the screen, I have to reasons to believe otherwise(I will explain below). Lastly, I am not that confident in Funimation after my experience with their "Ultimate DVDs" of the saiyan saga. After buying 2 of the dvds, I soon realized that there was nothing ultimate about them, the picture quality was horrible. The 5.1 sound however, was done quite nicely. So I don't know what to make of their new promises. Now allow me to entertain you with some before and after images:

Above is a direct comparison between the Widescreen and Fullscreen versions of the series. As you can see, the new Funimation widescreen format delivers new footage on both sides, but also cuts footage from above and bottom of the frame. I just wanted to point that out since funimation didn't mention anything about cutting footage to meet the 16:9 aspect ratio format. However, they did deliver extra footage as they promised, and 39 episodes for $34.99 is a great price. Widescreen footage was captured from the Funimation Dvd Trailers. It would be great if someone could upload some images from the Dvds in the upcoming weeks for the rest of the people to see the quality. 007, over and out .

Hello!
I can't believe the holidays are finished already, that was a quick few couple of weeks. I have created the Adobe After effects tutorial page where you can browse the uploaded video tutorials. Remember, you can access this page by going under the FANS section in the left menu, and selecting the tutorials link. I will be adding some new videos soon, you can continue to request tutorials in the comments pages, I will read them and decide what to make next. No other updates at the moment. See you later!
