Aura DVD Authoring

Aura DVD Authoring (doing business as NickFamily DVD Distribution until December 31st, 2021) is a home video unit of Aura Films that was founded on August 1st, 2018. Aside from handling DVD releases of series produced by NickFamily Studios, it also handles DVD releases of anime series licensed by AuraAnime Licensing in Region 1.

On September 8th, 2018, NickFamily DVD Distribution opened up a Blu-ray unit to handle physical releases on Blu-ray.

On May 1st, 2021, Aura announced that they have changed the corporate name of NickFamily DVD Distribution to Aura DVD Authoring, although the unit would continue to do business as NickFamily DVD Distribution until December 31st, 2021.

However, on March 27th, 2022, Aura mentioned the unit might have to be renamed again due to the gradual discontinuation of DVD and the fact all new 2022 releases were Blu-ray only. The rename, this time to Aura Home Video Authoring, was confirmed on July 21st, 2022 and would take effect at the start of 2023, once their DVD releases go out-of-print.
