On the way back in 2001, Star Trek Fans were happy to receive a copy from the director Star Trek: The Motion Picture, with enhanced visual effects, on DVD.

StarTrek.com. “This was Elijah and Scotty and Decker in engineering. We found some footage from 20 years ago, but there was no sound, so there was no point in showing the scene. But it’s three or four scenes people wanted to see forever. So we relayed that footage… And we found out [director] Bob [Wise] Dialogue loops to the scene. Now this scene will be included in the physical and other media manifest, because it flew so few of them. And we just found other great key scenes.”
