hi folks. I have been checking out the forum for the last few weeks. You're doing some good work here. I have always wanted to get both versions of TMP on dvd. I think the version they released is an improvement over either version on vhs, but there is something to be said for having the version you remember("Star Trek--Classic Editions" sound good). I think though that it may be hard to do. Like others have said, the cuts will cause probelms with the soundtrack, so you may have a hell of a time getting everything back to the way it used to be. But I say go for it. For me, that is the only real problem I have with dvd's. The movie hits the theatre one way and then it the "unrated", or "uncut", or "special, extended because the theatre version didn't sell so we re-cut it and are going to try again" version gets released and the original cut is lost. I never saw the original version of ST6 in the theatre so an original cut of that would be nice, just to see how it actually was shown to the masses. not that i am saying you should do it, just that it would be nice to see. live long and prosper:
