I've found AVMC! It was on the $2 shelf in a discount toy store, there were some other DVDs with little toys in the same packaging style but I was so focused on Minty that I neglected to look at what other shows were there. The package describes it as a "double episode" feature that runs for 44 minutes. The little plush keychain has a tush tag that says ©2005 and I believe is the same one that was in kid's meals at the Australian fast food store Red Rooster back in 2004.

which store was that? I doubt we'll have one here in brissie, but there might be one in sydney, and I'll be down there next week... I'm assuming there will be a 'normal' release in Australia too, probably through madman or one of the major retailers like Big W or Target.
The store is called "Cutprice Kidshop". I don't know if any locations exist outside of Victoria, there doesn't seem to be a lot of information online about them. The logo looks like this, if it helps you in your search:

The disc says copyright Hasbro October 2005, Paramount pictures, etc. The disc is also inside of a clear plastic protective case - I had to look closer, it's rectangle shaped with rounded corners and kind of blends in with the packaging design, but it's there. Funny to have the old release on shelves so many years later, threw me for a loop when I saw it.
