Heh, well thanks for cutting me some slack. Honestly, except for VI and the Next Gen. era movies, I have not seen anything but the 2-Disc collector edition of any of the movies available in any store I've gone to. But thanks for pointing out that an anamorphic version of the orignal Wrath of Khan did/does exist. However, I still don't seem to wrong about VI. In fact, based on the information I've read, the theatrical version of VI has never seen the light of day on home video.
EDIT: I concede you're also right about the deleted scenes and things being included with The Motion Picture. I have never seen them because I only rented that movie once and never had time to check out the bonus features, but I was aware of that. Still, I don't consider having the orignal elements scattered elsewhere to be the equivalent of having the original cut of the movie. Plus, and I'm just asking because I don't know, are versions of included scenes before director's cut effects enhancements were added on the DVD's deleted material as well?

Since I think it was you who brought this subject up in another thread, I'll cut you some slack for getting it wrong since I was actually going to list the specs of each original version's release and didn't get around to it.
The first dvd release of II was the original theatrical version and it was an anamorphic transfer.
etc.

Not sure how that would be a much better camp as far as this discussion goes. It's impossible to get the original theatrical versions of Star Treks I, II, and VI in an anamorphic DVD either.

Well, we'll have to accept the laerdisc ports for the next 20-30 years; maybe someday well get a remastered OOT, but probably not in the first half of this century. Unfortunately, they'll have to try to recreate what it was in 1977 from the GOUT. But until hell freezes over Im jumping over to the star trek crowd until then.

About "Star Trek The Motion Picture",
The director's cut DVD bonus disc does not include every part of all the scenes left out of the director's cut. And, it also does not include the original stereo mix for a number of scenes. There are some scenes not included without the added visual effects on the bonus disk. I'm still working on a mega set fan release that will include the original theatrical version from 1979 in a anamorphic 16x9 format (with the original stereo soundtrack), the 1983 extended special longer version in a anamorphic 16x9 format and original Stereo soundtrack (This has never been released on any video format), and a Fanedit version made by myself.
