Star Trek: 30 Years and Beyond was the VHS release of the TV special Star Trek: 30 Years and Beyond. The tape had already been released previously in October 1997 in the UK as part of their Star Trek - The Movies VHS set. The Netherlands saw the same UK film set release in 1997, along with the TV Special tape.

Usually PAL VHS tapes had a four percent shorter runtime that their American NTSC counterparts (see: here), but the UK tape was a slightly differently edited version of the TV Special as it concerned the version as aired earlier that year in that country during BBC's 26 August 1996 Star Trek Night special event.
