* In 1992, a few tapes returned by Cinderella Distributors were reused by The Video Company in a 32,500-unit production run of ''The Best Christmas Pageant Ever'' for Scholastic. One such tape was shown by a Salt Lake City classroom a few days before Christmas that year; due to TVC forgetting to erase the originally recorded pornographic material, scandal ensued and the producers of the special sued both TVC and Matrix over the affair.<ref>[https://law.justia.com/cases/california/court-of-appeal/4th/64/1306.html Schaefer/Karpf Productions v.

* Following its liquidation in 1996, its clients at the time, including Disneyland, appear to have been transferred to [[The Duplication Group|Cassette Productions]]. Whether or not its assets were actually sold to Cassette Productions is currently a mystery.
* Its clients appear to have been largely family-oriented and/or centered around Greater Los Angeles.
* This is possibly the only duplicator to have a joint venture with a home video distributor; Goldrix Entertainment, which was a joint venture with [[Goldstar Entertainment, Inc.|Goldstar Video]]. The name of this joint venture is a portmanteau of the two companies' names.
