*A telecined version existed, as evidenced by the video-generated fade-ins and fade-outs.

'''Nicknames:''' "CGI Disc Mountain", "Perumount V" | |||
''' | '''Logo:''' It starts with the 1999-2002 enhanced Paramount logo with the stars encircling the mountain. After a few seconds, a DVD disc flies in from the bottom zooms towards in-front of and behind the mountain. The "Paramount" script zooms out from the top of the screen to take its position above the mountao, like the 2011 Paramount Pictures logo. Then a brilliant flash of light appears underneath, revealing the "DVD" text, as the 1995-2010 Viacom byline fades in below it. The background fades to black as a laser scans the disc, turning the mountain into black-and-white. | ||
''' | '''Variant:''' A short version of this exists on a 2002 TV spot for the ''Rat Race'' DVD. It starts with the "DVD" appearing out of the flash and the Viacom byline fading in under it. | ||

'''Logo:''' It starts off with the 2002 Paramount logo animation with the stars flying through the clouds, the zoom out of the "Paramount" script, and the stars coming in and circling around the mountain. When we are at a comfortable distance, a DVD disc flies in from the bottom, glides and settles behind the summit and the Paramount script. Then, a bright flash underneath the peak brings forth "DVD" with a line below it, and the Viacom byline (in the same font as the 1990 Viacom logo) below the line. The background fades to black, and a white laser scans the disc in a downward motion, turning the entire DVD Paramountain silver. The finished product almost resembles the Paramount DVD print | '''Logo:''' It starts off with the 2002 Paramount logo animation with the stars flying through the clouds, the zoom out of the "Paramount" script, and the stars coming in and circling around the mountain.

'''Trivia:''' This logo appears on the original Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment DVD releases of ''The Avengers'' and ''Iron Man 3'', alongside the Marvel logo and in place of the current WDSHE logo. This is because The Walt Disney Company (owner of the films' production company Marvel Studios) and Viacom came to an agreement for the films' distribution to transfer from Paramount Pictures to Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, but Paramount still had two films left in their six-movie contract with Marvel. So, Paramount's logo would appear on the films and promotional material for legacy credit. | '''Trivia:''' This logo appears on the original Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment DVD releases of ''The Avengers'' and ''Iron Man 3'', alongside the Marvel logo and in place of the current WDSHE logo.

'''Variant:''' At the end of the logo, a menu would appear with two selections which are "PREVIEWS" and "MAIN MENU", both of which would take you there. When either one was selected, the Paramount logo fades out, with the selections disappearing a second afterward. This was seen on some early DVD releases with this logo, such as ''The Italian Job'' (2003 version), ''How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days'', ''Rugrats Go Wild'', ''SpongeBob SquarePants: The Complete First Season'', ''The Ren & Stimpy Show: The First and Second Seasons'' and ''All Grown Up: Lucky 13'' (the last release to use this variant). | '''Variant:''' At the end of the logo, a menu would appear with two selections which are "PREVIEWS" and "MAIN MENU", both of which would take you there.
