Downloaded this from YouTube (via YouTube-DL) thanks to the user _Tyroine_ for capturing it and sharing it. I fixed the aspect ratio from 16:9 AR to 4:3 AR within the Matroska container and spliced the video file to specific scenes (the source featured gameplay battles so they're not relevant). The videos are in x264 and audio is OPUS.
_Dragon Ball Z - Budōkai_ was pretty much the "original" _Dragon Ball Kai_ and Dimps did an amazing job with the cutscenes of _Budōkai_, _Infinite World_ and _Burst Limit_ (this too isn't available as media video files). And the best part is, this _is_ the GameCube version with the cel shaded graphics whereas the PS2 graphics looked flat. Even _Dragon Ball Z - HD Collection_ (used the PS2 version) doesn't look as good as the NGC played through the Dolphin emulator.
As great as the cutscenes were, it regrettably only went up to the Artificial Human arc so I thought about filling the gap, and decided to include the Majin Boo arc from _Infinite World_. That's dubbed in English and Japanese, although no subs.
Fun-fact: _Dragon Ball Z - Budōkai_ was the very first game to use the _Dragon Ball Z_ song "CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA" and then only in 2011 we got it back again on _Dragon Ball Z - Ultimate Tenkaichi_ ("Ultimate Blast" in Japan), and ever since, it was used now and then.
P.S. I included the instrumental version of CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA (thanks to _Zestanor_) on the OP, as an alternative choice.
