Background: Warner Advanced Media Operations (WAMO) was the DVD manufacturing unit of WEA International (today Warner Music Group), at the time a division of TimeWarner. The company was founded in 1991 as a Laserdisc manufacturing facility, before moving on to DVD production in the late 1990s, and with that they developed some of the first DVDs. In 2003, WAMO, along with its parent company WEA Manufacturing, was sold to Cinram International. The two companies would remain as the property of Cinram until they declared bankruptcy in 2012, eventually to be bought by Technicolor three years later.

(Late 1990s-2003)
