### These tracks are synced to the [Dragon Box Z](https://www.kanzenshuu.com/home-video/jp/dragon-box-z1/), which are the Japanese DVDs of Dragon Ball Z released in 2003.  ____  ___ ### **V6 Changelog :** #### General : - All video sync delays shifted of +70ms. After quality checking the serie, we figured that having a tight SFX/video delay made music and sound effects play a bit too soon in scene changes to the extend that we could feel it most of the time. Note that it's someting that we already took into account when calcuting delays for DB with a tolerance margin. - No more shifted NEPs in video sync. We figured that they don't really need to be shifed. The final part of NEP BGM for 001-199 is almost always accurately synced without video sync delays correction. - Dragon Box 40 NEPs reworked - Episode 291 now without DB GT NEP since there's isn't such NEP in Dragon Box. If you want the version with GT NEP download it [here](https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1fJlMRYuxl5TgR5x6P72sBXLYqMMUOJ0V&export=download) #### Fixes : - Episode 002 : Small part of non-drama audio was from Ishikawa instead of Fuji (Thanks to HKB for pointing that out) - Episode 009 : NEP sync fixed - Episode 012 : NEP sync fixed - Episode 051 : First 01:50 of previous episode preview were from Ishikawa, now fixed with Kei's new Fuji. Also, while this old Fuji track is better than the new one that Kei shared in 2021, background noise is muffled during high decibels parts (voices, sfx...) and comes back to normal just after (what is called "release"). Even after de-noise, we could still hear that difference so we applied another slight de-noise to homogenize the whole. - Episode 065 : Eyecatch plays too soon, officially (thanks Toei), it's now fixed with a part of the BGM from the OST "Broadcast-audiofied". - Episode 067 : V5 track was named "Fuji" but was Ishikawa, now Fuji. - Episode 086 : Video-sync delay of PART A is now 0. At 11m31, when Goku is landing, the delay causes major desync, it's the only reason. Having no delay for Part A isn't a big deal for this episode thankfully. - Episode 125 : NBS tracks + Fuji part instead of Tokai part (from 17m47 to end) - Episode 140 : Chunk of audio was accidentally cut during the de-noise process. Fixed. - Episode 142 : New Fuji NEP. - Episode 148 : V5 track was named "Fuji" but was Tokai, now Fuji. - Episode 194 : A small part of audio was from Tokai. Fixed by HKB. - Episode 229 (Big Box CD) : NEP from Fuji instead of Tokai. Denoised and debuzzed. Eyecatch 2 from better source. - Episode 237 (Big Box CD) : Eyecatch 2 from better source. #### New Fuji tracks : Synced and cleaned by HKB Double checked by Team Mirolo 009,010,011,012,013,015,016,017,040,041,042,043,044,052,054,059,067,094,096,097,103,106,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,148,170,171,174,198,202,203,204,234,236 (partially),243 ___ ### **What is "video sync" ?** The audio tracks of the Japanese Dragon Box Z are not properly synced to the video. Sound effects are played later than they should (about 200 milliseconds in average). In order to fix that, we have calculated the difference (in milliseconds) between many video frames and their respective sound effects, for both parts of each episode. We've then shifted each track accordingly and called them "video synced". So the "audio synced" tracks would be tracks matching the offical sync from Dragon Box (with it's sync issues) Note that all delays that we calculated can be found in a [spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18yqylgSPYy81HOufQZTSTHevb_bVeDuOf4isdXgNq_o/edit#gid=1791917683) The following image (episode 101) illustrate the difference between the official sync and our fixed sync :  ___ ### **Notes** - We didn't used some tracks tha Kei shared in 2021 for specific reasons. [Here is the list](https://pastebin.com/maJgvHWu) with explanations. - Openings and Next Episode Previews have the same timings as original Dragon Box (they didn't really need to be shifted along with the rest). - The tracks from NBS have been converted from AAC 128kbps to FLAC for syncing purposes, in case you want to give it more bitrate in lossy - or keep it in FLAC - Opening and Endings are from Dragon Box Z R2J (better quality than Broadcast Audio, but not too much to make the episode quality sounds poor in comparison). - [There are 40 next episode previews](https://pastebin.com/tHsKYPLm) coming from Dragon Box because in the Broadcast Audio tracks, those episodes had shorten next episode previews because of another following preview for a movie or TV Special. We filtered these Dragon Box previews with iZotope to make them a bit clearer. - If you want to restore the original dragon box sync from these tracks, download the audio sync restoration patch [here](https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1TXGoztMJpW2clHx94VL_XILYTEunKCZ4&export=download) (tracks must be renamed 001, 002...) - This V6 versions of the tracks having different delays from previous ones, make sure to shift your subtitles accordingly : -- All subtitles by +70ms -- All NEPs with part B delays of the [spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18yqylgSPYy81HOufQZTSTHevb_bVeDuOf4isdXgNq_o/edit#gid=1791917683) -- Episode 086 part A (between after OP and before eyecatch). You may want to do this one manually to avoid confusion ___ ### **Acknowledgements** Big thanks to AnimeMaakuo, Kei and everyone that shared Japanese Broadcast Audio tracks. Thanks to HKB for syncing and cleaning all fillers tracks that we didn't do. And thanks to everyone that helped in any possible way.
