The folks at the popular DVD news website The Digital Bits has a recent
Rumor Mill post which talks about the extras and specs on
Star Trek: Enterprise - Season 1. Let's take a listen:
Okay Trek fans... we know you've been waiting for this a while now. Our industry sources have checked in with the very first details on some of what you can expect from Star Trek: Enterprise - Season One on DVD! I want to stress that this is unofficial information - none of this should be considered confirmed until Paramount announces it officially. But... our sources are telling us that the multi-disc set (which is tentatively set to street in early May) will include deleted scenes, some 9 minutes of outtakes, and something called Enterprise Secrets, which we suspect are similar to the Red Shirt Diaries Easter egg featurettes from The Original Series DVDs (the Deep Space Nine and Voyager DVDs also had similar video clips hidden in the menus).
We expect that the audio will be provided in Dolby Digital 5.1. We've also been able to learn that the video presentation for the episodes on DVD will be anamorphic widescreen as we had hoped. Enterprise is the first Trek series to feature an original widescreen aspect ratio of 1.78:1 (all the other series are full frame, or 1.33:1), and the Enterprise DVDs will mark the first time a Star Trek series has been presented on disc with anamorphic enhancement for high-quality display on widescreen TVs. Just by comparison, other TV series to feature anamorphic widescreen presentation on DVD include 24, Alias, The West Wing and the later seasons of The X-Files.
We'll reiterate what was said in the rumor we just quoted: Paramount has not confirmed this info, and it should be considered tentative until officially announced. The same goes for the release date, but we're pretty darn sure you'll see it on
May 3rd.
