Has anyone ever done a preservation of the theatrical or longer television cut of the film for dvd as the official release is the director's cut and not the original.

The widescreen vhs I have is much longer than the official dvd, and i'm sure someone out there has it on laserdisc.


Preservation of the original theatrical cut in widescreen has already been done, and I have it on 2 DVD-Rs. If interested, E-mail me.


Do you (or anyone) have the Wrath of Khan LD? I'm wondering if the transfer is any less-faded-looking than the DVD's...

Same question TMP, but from what I remember, it has looked faded in the TV and VHS transfers, from the start...

Anyhow, the HD version of TMP looks like the Theatrical version, to me. It's obviously not the Director's Edition, and it's "missing" just about the right amount of material vs. the Extended VHS. The soundtrack seems to match my recollection of the CD; I didn't do a direct comparison, but I've played the hell out of that CD, over the decades...
