What happened to Digiview?
I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to Digiview Entertainment. The company that made those $1 DVDs that Walmart carried?
My Walmart pulled all of them quite some time ago and Dollar Tree just has all the old ones.
Their website just links to another company.

Looks like they're out of business, and deservedly so. I just watched their Christmas Evil disc and it was cut to pieces. The opening credits are gone, and the scene that got Santa so messed up in the first place was cut completely- looks like a cut for TV copy.

In October 2008, Warner Bros. sued Digiview because some of their DVDs infringed on some DVD patents that Warner Bros. owned.

On this site (Just click on the "x" in the coner of the "free trial" window that pops up to see the page.):
http://www.law360.com/ip/articles/71...er-dvd-patents
The page says "The patents describe an invention that lets a DVD hold multiple language versions of a film". I think Digiview's DVD of Rites Of Passage
has this because it has deleted scenes with 2 audio tracks (the scenes' audio and audio commentary).
From the looks of the .pdf on this site:
http://law.justia.com/cases/federal/...6477/427133/12
Warner Bros. lost the case, but I guess Digiview couldn't afford to make more DVDs after this.
Bummer. I liked Digiview. I think I have over 120 of their DVDs.
