The only thing not done internally is the manufacturing of the physical discs and box cover printing.

Atomic Studio's foresight in its handling of production issues has allowed for an increasingly profitable economy-of-scales. By internalizing the majority of the costs associated with DVD production, Atomic Studios has the ability to release more titles, at a more profitable return, than other independent home video companies in the marketplace. This scenario has proven to be very attractive for the many content suppliers that Atomic Studios has entered into business relationships. This strategy allows Atomic Studios to bring a new breadth of programming to the North American DVD market as well as many foreign territories.
