Media Blasters themselves (which owns the Anime Works label) now has a copy of Viacom's press release on their site:

As of the homemade DVDs, I saw a copy being played at a recent comic convention (several times -- I was a dealer sitting across a DVD seller), and I thought the quality was pretty good -- it would've passed as a commercial DVD if it wasnt for the "Nick.Com" bug or the "TV-Y7-FV" icon at the start of each episode.
