Your project sounds fascinating. I haven’t the first clue about DVD’s, frankly, but this should be a very interesting angle from which to analyze the worldwide distribution of Japanese pop culture. I’ve added your project to the Let’s Manga research knowledge base (see link below). There may be some other things in there that are interesting for you. French is woefully underrepresented in the database at the moment, though -I’ll follow your blog and see if I can make up for that a bit.
