But they didn't pay to create a dvd. You have to pay editors to create the dvd. Then you gotta pay people to put it on dvd, production costs, packaging etc etc. You think those dvd sets magically go from film to boxed set without any outlay of funds?

Manufacturing / packaging costs are recouped on a per unit basis. DVD authoring is pretty cheap and easy to do. I bet they get it from 'film to DVD' for under $5,000.00 (probably less as the people who do this work are probably on salary and it is not sub-contracted), and then pay about $2 per unit for manufacturing and packaging.
I bet they break even at about 500 units sold, minus additional promotional expenses for the DVD itself.
