The Star Trek films were the first franchise properties to be released on DVD.
The initial release of the first nine films, beginning in 1998, saw each film released in a 'vanilla' version, with only their trailers included as special features. The films were released in reverse chronological order, starting with Star Trek: First Contact (Star Trek: Insurrection was slotted in between Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home).
These would be released in Region 2 - starting with Star Trek: Insurrection - in 2000. Some of the Region 2 releases in the UK came in Special Numbered Edition packaging, and included bonus discs.
In 2001, Paramount released Star Trek: The Motion Picture on DVD. For this release, the company decided to reappraise the film as a whole, introducing new CG special effects, and recutting the film to better reflect Robert Wise's original intentions. This "Director's Edition" was a two-disc release with extensive special features. (As a result, the theatrical cut of the film has never been released on DVD.)
Following the enormous success of the Director's Edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Paramount rereleased the other nine films in two-disc special editions with added features. Star Trek Nemesis was released with limited special features in 2003 before receiving the Special Edition treatment in 2005.
