There's been some disagreement on whether the BD audio is better or not.. is it actually better? Some of the JPN VHS DBZ movies have been shared online (16:9 AR from what I've seen) with PCM Hi-Fi Mono, minus 13 which is Stereo. Doubt the VHS audio sounds better, though.

I don't know about the VHS audio. But the spectrum of Laser Disc audio look less noisy in high frequencies. However I didn't heard anything different while comparing BD and LD. Maybe I'll run some ABX test to see if we can really tell them apart.

Thanks for the upload! This saved me a lot of time. I downloaded the unsynced BD audio originally uploaded to nyaa around 6 months ago. I listened to that BD audio compared to the Laserdisc audio uploaded by AnimeMaakuo to check for differences in quality. There was a difference. The laserdisc audio has sort of blocked sound that can clearly be heard if compared to the BD audio by skipping back and forth between the same part of the two audio files of one of the movies. That blocked feeling in my ears completely disappears when I switch to the BD audio which has a very open and extremely clear sound. The BD audio is just very high quality and sounds much more like it was recorded today, and the laserdisc audio has more of an older recording sound to it even though it is very high quality. I actually like the way the laserdisc audio has that older sound to it, and listening to them separately, they are both very high quality. But the BD audio is the clear winner for quality. However I have heard someone complain about the BD audio having silences where there should be some sort of backgound sound or just some sort of sound. I haven’t listened to the audio for a whole movie yet, so I can’t confirm that. I have seen audio in a remaster of a TV show called perfect strangers where they completely ruined the audio with DNR and all the background sounds were gone in the Amazon download version. But the Hulu version had much better audio with all the background sounds where you could even hear the persons clothing rubbing against itself as someone moved or walked. It was hard to listen to the Amazon version since it sounded weird. If the Dragon Ball Movies BD audio does have that sort of a problem, it would be a shame since the audio is so amazingly clear and high quality. It would be a bit annoying if there were actual background sounds missing depending how bad it is, and if that is the case then the laserdisc audio would be better for those that want to hear everything that was originally recorded.

@mrbean : What is sure is that in BD, pure silences are completely blank while in LD there's some noise. Idk if we can conclude that Toei used a filter to replace blank noise by silences, or that BD is the source and LD is distorted by the disc/encoding. Here is an example : LD : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RLLr5hLHWKnwdeP3lQDb7EP2ylX-TTuZ BD : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1s-nFKCSmQ6gLqpb-Q8osGbREfOqFq4vJ Also, I found out that for example, in movie 5, some sounds are missing in the background (very low but I raised dB so that we can hear. Still, raise volume up) : LD : https://drive.google.com/open?id=12XLMyIPUjPuBJn2WnebGXrZYI8Ljx5WI BD : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-6PQ_T8DlU0CxVKEg3qGRGq9etHJ-sV3 I prefer BD, it feels more natural, but I don't think I can conclude something now about what Toei did, or did not do.

@Team-Mirolo, thank you for the links. I was curious to see but didn’t want to spend too much time. The BD audio in the first example you give is clearly completely silent. There should always be some sort of backgound hissing from the recording, but maybe there is no recording at that spot. Although I do think I hear some sort of background sound in the laserdisc audio, but I can’t tell for sure because the noise is so loud. for the second set of links you gave, the noise is choppy in the laserdics version and I can’t hear the background sounds, but I can actually hear the background sounds in the BD version. I will have to compare the audio for the entire movie for all the movies one day. Either way I love the way the BD audio sounds and I’m very happy you shared this sync with us.
