[SoM] Dragon Ball / DBZ Movies 1-17 + OVAs - White Balanced [1080p][x264]

Older Releases: Dragon Ball CC // Dragon Ball Z // Dragon Ball Z Level Sets // Dragon Ball Z HD Specials CC // Dragon Ball GT CC

After releasing our DBZ merge release in Jan 2021, I made the fateful statement that "the movies were next." Other projects and the decision to attempt full color correction led to many delays, however finally I am happy to release our interim version of the classic Dragon Ball movies and first two OVAs ("Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans" and "Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return")

While initially advertised as a full color correction, our team eventually realized that they needed to step back from a full cc in order to make this release happen within any kind of acceptable timeline - therefore, each movie is presented with white balance corrections only. While not a full cc, the white balance corrections were done shot-by-shot and still improve the overall look of the films. We are still hopeful that we will be able to release fully color corrected movies in the future.

In addition, several video improvements were made over the original sources. For movies sourced from WEB-DLs, the dark details were merged from the AVC and HEVC versions of the films in a similar process to our DBZ DBOX merge. All movies also received some basic CDNR to remove artifacting caused by the compressed sources. As usual color adjustments also cause the size of the movies to expand as higher settings are necessary to retain the new details.

All JPBD, LD, VCD, and VHS tracks cleaned and normalized by Krycek7o2. QC provided by Krycek7o2, Ploffy, ZeroCool, CSManiac33, ergiman, VDenter, butler, KameZ, and AndroidxFusion.

Notes:
→ After extensive testing over many years we determined that the JPBD offered the best presentation of the original Japanese audio. Each JP track was cleaned and balanced by Team-Mirolo and Krycek7o2.
→ For this release we decided to sync every single English dub available for every movie. A brief write-up explaining each audio track and which tracks are with which movie is available here.
→ All JPN EDs on the FUNi Remastered Kikuchi tracks were replaced with higher quality EDs by Krycek7o2. All insert songs removed from FUNi Remastered Kikuchi tracks were re-added by Deli. OP/ED extensions for various dubbed OP/EDs were done by iKaos.

Notes:
→ Stylized subs are designed to mimic the look of the original Japanese text for all signs and onscreen text.
→ The signs/songs track is meant for use with the FUNi English dubs.
→ If you don't care for stylized subs, then we have included a basic subs track as well.
→ Dubtitles are mostly based on the OG FUNi dub, although Z M1-3 are based on the Pioneer dubs.
→ JP subs are included. DB movie subs were obtained from Netflix.
→ As always we recommend MPV for proper subtitle playback. If you insist on using MPC-HC please use the VSFilter sub renderer.
