Thanks guys. I realize now I transposed the DVI/HDMI in my post. My upconvert DVD player did come with a DVI cable and it wasn't the $100 kind and it works just fine. So I was hoping the HDDVD would include a HDMI. The problem I have where I live is that all the stores carry only the really...

Does anyone know at this point whether the upcoming HD-DVD players will come with the DVI cables included? I really wouldn't want to spend $75-$120 extra just to hook up the player. Along these lines-- does anybody know if the players will have a separate coax/optic audio out? I know DVI...

Why would they ever feel the need to do this? For the tiny, tiny minority of people who would want to see TREK zoomed into a WS format, all they need to do is push the 'ZOOM' feature on their remote. This would do the exact same thing-- trim off the top and bottom of the picture making it...

Great news! Menus posted for the CE show that the deleted scenes will include the previous releases deleted scenes as well--we won't need both versions to have them all.

:laugh: You are so right. Maybe there Is a Frakes commentary, but they are afraid advertising it will hurt sales. "Better leave that off the packaging guys" Actually I was hoping for a writer commentary for this one--there was lot cut out and earlier versions of the script were much darker...

The fact that he recorded one is not 100% proof it will be included, but it's at least 95% proof it will. So, if they can make one mistake they can make two. They really need to get on the ball-I won't preorder this until I'm sure.

Will we really have to wait weeks for them to straighten this out or will they realize it quickly and annouce the facts? By the way, I'd bet good money there will be a audio commentary despite what the box says. "Yes, we felt 9 of the movies deserved a commentary, but not Insurrection"...

Yes I am. But I fear it is a real misprint on the label. Now I will have to wait for a review to be sure if the disc contains the deleted scenes. Can't they ever get these discs right?

Either the scan is faaake or the printing was in error. The British Board of Film Classification has already screened the extras for the disc & listed the scene #s & running times for the deleted scenes(Total of 11m 48sec U.S. conversion) If they have printed the back cover wrong-it is an...

Just got done watching the Cleopatra dvd and features and YES I would be interested in a longer cut. But, it's great to know a big shot expert like Robert Harris can be DEAD WRONG like anyone else here. In his post he say the long cut was only under 5 hours. Either he is wrong or Martin...

Let me get this straight, they are going to legitimize the "Smithee" version? The only other instance of such stupidity, that comes to mind, is the official release of the Star Trek The Motion Picture 'special longer version' that included shots of an uncompleted set with the stage rafters...

A question on features. The original 3/4 episode per disc releases had a great feature where they showed the cast and crew list from the episodes. This included many actors who were NOT listed in the regular credits. TZ was notorius for not listing many actors-"No Time Like The Past" omits 5...

A couple of years ago, it seems, people were talking about a Special Edition of Forbidden Planet, but I've seen no comments at all for quite a while. I mean Critereon had a nice SE laserdisc years ago with lots of deleted scenes no less. Not bad for a 1956 movie. But we are still stuck with a...

I doubt the DTS track because there will be 2 commentary tracks. I also doubt they would fail to mention if it did have one because they made sure it was included in the announcement for Generations. Also no notice of deleted scenes. It seems odd-the movies (generally) thought of as weak, TMP...

Hey Joseph, Gene Coon WROTE 4 3rd season episodes under his pen-name Lee Cronin including "Spock's Brain". So it may have been his mental health, not his heart that was in question in 1968. To think that the fiercly loyal Trek fans-who had just saved the show-quit the series because of a bad...

Hey Joseph, Gene Coon died in 1973! Please get your facts striaght when doing an "analysis" of something. Also cutting the budget from just over 200k per episode to about 175k wasn't drastic considering all they ever used was stock sets and stock FX. What killed the show was Roddenberry taking...

The worth of added scenes is subjective-as are the opinions of the scenes that are in the Theatrical cut. I have heard people say of theatrical cuts "I liked xxx movie, except for xxx scene." The audience can't be the editor of movies, it should be the director's choice. I can't see a director...

I have never understood when people who fancy themselves experts on movies talk about "ruining the pace" of a movie. To lengthen Superman from 143min. to 151 doesn't seem like too much at all-it's an epic. My favorite claims of "ruining the pace" are for Star Trek 2, which is 3min 30 sec. longer...

I enjoy the longer cuts-although they sometimes add a little too much back. In Superman, I loved the extended coucil scene, the Father-Son talk with Supe & Jor-el & the Fire/Ice scene, which is what a comic book movie should have. The scene with the girl scouts wasn't helpful, but if I had to...

Since Trek 5 all the dvds have been made in Mexico-not just the ones with the label. Use a magnifying glass on the clear part by the center hole and you will see "Made in Mexico".

"35 minutes" of deleted footage is very misleading. When a movie is first cut together it is called an "asemblage". This includes every line of dialouge shot from the script. About half of the cuts from any movie are very short 1,2 or 3 line cuts, as well as cuts made BETWEEN various lines of...

The info is coming from the StarTrek.com official announcement. It says disc 1: the disc contains two scene revisions by director Nicholas Meyer. Also the British film board which has rated it calls it a "re-edited version" as opposed to the same video version available in Britain since 1992.

You think Paramount ponied up the money to digitally tweak Star Trek 6? Hoo boy. I"m sure the changes have to do with the social or political part of the story-the conspiracy or attitudes of the humans & Klingons not FX. Those are the main cuts that are in the script that I have had since 1991.

The interesting part of this new cut is that it means that Meyer both added to and cut from this new edition. The theatrical version was 110 min. and the video was 113 min,the new version is also 113 min. The advert blurb said Meyer revised 2 scenes, he had to have cut somethings out of the...

The official announcement for the STVI C.E. at Startrek.com states "Disc 1: the dvd contains two scene revisions by director Nicholas Meyer". Does anyone know if this is accurate? The only version on any format has been the same since 1992. It contains THREE extra or expanded scenes. Are they...
