It is available in the first volume of the Funimation Remastered sets which was released on February 6th, 2007 on DVD and Bluray on December 31st, 2013 although the picture quality of those release's saturated the colors and cropped the tops and bottom of the screen in an attempt to make it wide screen.

Manga Differences

This entire episode does not happen in the manga series. If it did it would have been in between chapter 209 and 210 (chapters 15 and 16 if going by Viz's separated Dragon Ball Z manga release). It should also be noted that this scene did not return in the remastered TV run known as Dragon Ball Kai for the obvious reason of being filler, if it did return it would have been in between episode 5 & 6.
