The Star Trek films were the first in a franchise to be released on DVD. The second through films were issued in "vanilla versions," with their trailers being their only special features.
In 2001, Paramount Pictures released the first film on DVD, which was redone with new computerized special effects to better satisfy the vision of Robert Wise. The Director's Edition was an enormous success and Paramount released the rest of the films on two-disc special edition DVDs. The second and sixth film in these special editions were slightly extended. The original theatrical versions were only on the basic DVDs and Blu-rays. The DVD special editions of the first ten films were issued in sets as well, including all ten, the first six, and the last four.
The films were released on Blu-ray, with the original cast's films (I-VI) and The Next Generation's released in separate collections.
