Background information

• Contrary to the two preceding DVD series releases, no separate Region 4 issue was released in Australia this time around. In this Region 4 followed in the footsteps of Region 2 where separate regional DVD issues had already been abandoned with the LD Season 2 DVD release. But while these territories could make do with UK catch-all Region 2 imports, Australasia had no such option, as no other Region 4 DVDs were released, only aggravated by the circumstance that DVD region encoding was as of 2024 still upheld in full force by the industry (for the reasons why, see: main article), in stark contrast to the Blu-ray format.
• This particular release is one of the few individual Star Trek releases followed by the professional industry site The Numbers and for which domestic US home video format sales are known; The Numbers has reported that by November 2023 domestic sales had been realized of US$450,000 for both this and its Blu-ray counterpart releases, which had increased to US$766,000 two years later. [1] The for a highly popular Star Trek production seemingly disappointing sales can only be explained by the generic societal trend issues at play, which had nothing to do with the show's reception, additionally explaining the diminishing sales of physical home video formats.
