Item 8.01.    Other Events.

        On September 8, 2008, in connection with the previously reported amendment to the merger agreement relating to the proposed acquisition by DG FastChannel, Inc. ("DG FastChannel") of Enliven Marketing Technologies Corporation ("Enliven"), DG FastChannel filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a post-effective amendment to its registration statement on Form S-4, and the post-effective amendment has been declared effective. The post-effective amendment contains the first supplement (the "supplement") to the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus, dated August 18, 2008, of DG FastChannel and Enliven that was first mailed on or about August 21, 2008 to stockholders of both companies who were record holders as of August 7, 2008 (the "joint proxy statement/prospectus").

        On or about September 9, 2008, DG FastChannel commenced the mailing of a notice to its stockholders who previously received the joint proxy statement/prospectus indicating that the merger agreement, as amended, no longer requires a vote of the DG FastChannel stockholders to approve the issuance of DG FastChannel common stock in connection with the merger because the number of shares of DG FastChannel common stock to be issued in connection with the merger is, under the revised terms of the merger agreement, less than 20% of the number of shares of DG FastChannel common stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and, as a result, the Nasdaq rules no longer require stockholder approval. A copy of the notice to DG FastChannel's stockholders is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

        On or about the same date, Enliven commenced the mailing of the supplement to each of its stockholders that previously received the joint proxy statement/prospectus. A copy of the supplement is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
