Dragonball On Cartoon Network [Q]
Chris Morse
Hi Everyone!
I'm new to Dragonball, and I've gotten hooked on the original (?)
Dragonball.. I figure I'll get into Dragonball Z and GT later, but
I'm interested in just Dragonball for now.
The Cartoon Network has been playing Dragonball at 5PM weekdays and
2:30PM Saturdays. From the time I started watching, they've been
playing the 3rd season (saga?), so I haven't seen anything from
earlier than that.
Checking Cartoon Network, it looks like after the end of this month,
Dragonball will not be shown during the week; or at all for that
matter. It just stops! Anyone know if they're going to re-run it
all? Are new episodes being made?
I have an ATI TV Wonder card, and I've been capturing all the episodes
I can. I have most of the 3rd season (saga?) with the exception of a
few episods. I'm capturing to mpeg-1 and converting to 230MB DiVX
5.02 AVI files.
Aside from that, can I buy the DVD's? Ack - how much would it cost to
get ALL the epsides? Are they even all out on DVD?
Thanks for any info!

.... so you're capturing to a horribly lossy "codec" and converting it to yet
another horribly lossy codec? Sexcellent quality indeed! Why not just capture
into uncompressed AVI and THEN convert over... ? I've got an ATI card, myself,
and know for a fact it can do it...
As for DVDs, FUNimation has been releasing it pretty quickly, actually! The
"Tournament" boxset is out, and I think some others, as well...
zstore.com has them all listed, but you can get them for much cheaper prices on
places like Amazon and Best Buy.

First of all, just to clarify-- you probably knew this, but your wording
suggests you might not-- there are no "new" episodes of any Dragonball
series. Dragonball has been over since the mid-nineties in Japan, and we are
simply having old episodes imported and dubbed into English here. You
probably knew all that, but I just wanted to make sure.
Second, what will probably happen is that DB will go off Cartoon Network's
schedule for a while, then come back on when they have new episodes.
Presumably the Piccolo Saga of DB is being dubbed right now, but I haven't
been keeping up on it. Once they're finished you will certainly see DB on
Cartoon Network again.
Incidentally, I believe DB is being played during the massive Toonami
Saturday block that Cartoon Network will be premiering in just a couple
weeks. So take a look for it in that schedule.
One last note-- it's fine if you're encoding those episodes for your own
use, but if you're thinking about distributing them to others, this is not
the place to do it. Discussion of illegal episode copies and downloads is
frowned upon here because it ignites too much controversy and flaming.
Please respect the FAQ (posted every Tuesday). Thanks and good luck with
finding more Dragonball!

Ahh,.. Yeah, I read up on some of the Dragonball history last night
after I posted this message. Dragonball (the original) is probably
one of the few TV series I would buy on DVD.

Actually, I didn't know that yesterday until after I posted the
message and found a website with a great history of Dragonball..

Great! I would hate to think I missed it all...

I'll definitely check it out.. Thanks
