The Warner Archive began in 2009 as a made-on-demand service for previously unavailable films in the Warner Bros. library. Films are presented in their original aspect ratio but with no further restoration done specifically for these releases. No extra features aside from the occasional trailer have been included and subtitles have been omitted. The discs are burned using the DVD-R format and outfitted with stylistically consistent cover and disc art. Currently, there are well over 200 titles in the Warner Archive Collection with more added monthly. Only customers in the U.S. have been able to purchase directly from the Warner Archive website, though Movies Unlimited and, at significantly higher prices, Amazon.com also offer most of the titles.
