DVD..... sewer?...
Sewer:Noun
1.A conduit that carries away sewage or surface water
2. Someone who sews

Either one seems applicable.

Actually, there is nothing really new about this. Hollywood routinely 
reedited movies for rerelease to fit into television or cable time slots, 
video cassettes or to just make the movie "nicer" (e.g., the original 
Frankenstein "Oh..what do we throw now" ).

Here's an interesting example of fair use of DVD-distributed content:

It seems that the new digital enhancements in the upcoming re-release
of E.T. include replacement of some cops' guns with walkie-talkies.
The modified scene was captured from a current trailer, included on
the DVD release of "The Grinch".
