I remember seeing somewhere the the official Star Trek: Complete Season 3 DVD has both the B&W/Color Hybrid and the full color version. Does it have both versions or is the DVD the same as the Blu-Ray?
There are multiple versions
- 35mm full color version - unreleased
- 16mm black and white version - unreleased, bootlegged - this is the version I am talking about
- The Menagerie 2 part story with original effects
- The Menagerie with CGI effects
- 1986 hybrid black and white / full color version - NOT the version I was talking about, released on VHS, LD, DVD and Blu-ray
- 1988 full color version with slowed down scenes replacing missing shots - released as part of “The Star Trek Saga: From One Generation to the Next” special aired between TNG S1 and TNG S2
- 2001 DVD version - full color, but shorter than 1988 version
- 2009 Blu-ray version with original effects - shorter than DVD version, different order of some shots
- 2009 Blu-ray version with CGI effects - same cut but new effects
- “SkyShowtime” version - same cut as the 2009 versions, but the CGI effects are in 16:9, and the live action parts are in 4:3, not sure when it was created, but it’s on SkyShowtime
Both the DVDs and the Blu-ray sets have the 1986 hybrid black and white / full color version, and both are in 480p. I have the 16mm black and white version, and I’m searching for somebody who knows how to colorize the shots which are not included in the 2009 versions.
Could you maybe PM me with a download link or Resilio Key to the 16mm black and white version? I’d like to check it out!
