1st logo (2001-present)

Nickname: "DVD/IML Combo"

Logo: A DVD logo appears via an effect. It has a CD texture on and behind it. Then, after 5-6 secs, it changes to IML Digital Media Logo (the graffiti letters "iML" with "DIGITAL MEDIA" below it.) Above it all is the words "DVD TITLE PRE-MASTERING". The logo fades out.

Technique: Everything.

Variant: More recent DVDs have the logo correctly rendered in 4:3 as opposed to 16:9.

Music/Sounds: Usually a fast crescendo mixed with laser sounds, but sometimes none.

Availability: Rare. Seen on DVDs mastered by IML Digital Media. Your best bets are Force DVD-era releases by Beyond Home Entertainment and releases by Accent Film Entertainment. The silent audio variant appears on the Australian DVD release of The Wiggles: Hoop-Dee-Doo It's A Wiggly Party.
