TOS "proto-remaster"

I’m looking once again at the magazine DVD edition of The City on the Edge of Forever and I’m seeing exactly what was on pre-remastered DVDs. The LaserDisc transfers are exclusive only to the LaserDiscs. They match the color timing of the examples you posted. I don’t know how, where and when these DVDs were cited as the same transfers as the LaserDiscs, but they are completely wrong. Even the back of the discs state that they have 5.1 audio, which lines up with the DVD versions.
 
I *think* all UK DVD releases post-magazine have a newer mix for The Menagerie (amongst others) but unsure of the magazine DVDs.

I *think* the magazine Cage uses the old VHS all-colour audio as the Keeper's voice switches.

I would suggest the magazine DVDs are probably VHS versions (although unsure if two-episode or three-episode editions.)

I'm not so familiar with the visual aspect.
