Digital Video Compression Center

Background
Digital Video Compression Center (DVCC, legally Digital Video Compression Corporation) was a DVD transfer company, founded in 1996 as a subsidiary of Panasonic, and acquired by Deluxe Digital Studios on August 10, 2004. Around September of the same year, Deluxe put DVCC's website domain up for auction, later to shut the company down after a few months.

1st Logo (March 25, 1997-2002)
Logo: On a black background, we see a dark lime green rectangle with the cut-out call letters "dvcc". Above the logo is "DVD Production Services By:", and below it is "Digital Video Compression Center", "Universal City, California", and, in a smaller size, the URL "http://www.dvcc.com", stacked on top of each other, respectively.

Variant: On the earliest DVDs with this logo, the URL is missing. This variant is extremely rare, and it only appears on the original releases of Beethoven, The Paper, GoldenEye, The Land Before Time, The Wizard of Oz, and The Usual Suspects, and makes a surprise appearance on the 1999 release of Four Weddings and a Funeral.
