The DVD costs around 30 cents to make from scratch. The most expensive part of the process is the artwork, printing and packaging believe it or not. We can produce around 40,000 per day.
P.S. most people dont know it but DVD's are actually 2 seperate disks that are glued together!

Considering you can buy a blank one for only a few cents, the DVD itself mustn't cost much at all. Production costs would be part of it, but even then you can pick up a crappy old movie for about a dollar so that obviously doesn't play into it
Therefore much of the profit must go towards the rights to produce and sell the DVD and paying the CEOs of various companies millions a year to holiday in the Caribbean.

In the UK you can dump the packaging at the checkout as a protest, and the supermarkets reduced it by about 35,000 tonnes as a result, also they are stopping giving away plastic carrier bags. I got in an argument with a checkout zombie from Virgin who INSISTED I took a plasitc bag with a cd in the other day, she kept at me "no, we need it as proof of purchase" I said, "I don't want a bag, I've got a bag, look, you 'tard" (I didn't say retard, but it was implied) I made her call the manager and he told her not to be so stupid and let me go haha. you should have seen the look she gave me on the way out!!!
