The movies began release on VHS in 1980 in the United States, with the release of the original theatrical cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture and the film's Special Longer Version, also known as the 1983 TV Version. Both versions were released in pan-and-scan format. Copies of the "Special Longer Version" in pan-and-scan are more common than the original theatrical version of the film, which has only been widely available since the 1991 widescreen release.
