1 DVD movie? Which "one" do you mean - The Gathering? (technically the pilot, but it has 2 different versions, one served as pilot, the second one released on home video as a standalone film) In the beginning? Thirdspace? River of Souls? A Call To Arms? (technically a pilot to Crusade) The Legend of the Rangers - To Live and Die in Starlight? (technically a pilot to The Legend of the Rangers - unproduced spinoff) The Lost Tales? (technically a pilot to another unproduced spinoff)

 A DVd movie is a movie made to be released on DvD first.  All of the movies besides the lost tales were produced for and aired on TV first,some of them when DvDs were only just hitting the market place for the first time. Most of the B5 movies aired just before or just after B5 finished it's run on TV. All of those movies aired on Tv before going to DvD,they were not made for the Dvd market just released on it after the fact.  As for The Lost Tales,yes it was a pilot but it was a pilot for a series that was mean to be released on DvD and nowhere else. So yes it is the only straight to DvD B5 movie.

If the B5 movies are DvD movies then so is every episode of every show that has ever been released on DvD.
