Line 138 ⟶ 152:
* On tapes from 1992 to 1995, the vertical blanking interval has a date in the code, and begins with either "AFV TN," "AFV," "AFVTN", "AAFVTN" or "@FVTN". Starting around mid-late 1995, this same code started with "ADT." In late 1995, the code became similar in terms of the typeface to the ones that appear on tapes duplicated at Technicolor's Livonia plant using Sony Sprinters, and was changed to a different code like this for example: "ADT8011161:07," with the code instead beginning with "ADT04" on tapes from clients inherited from HMG beginning in mid-1998. However, on tapes encoded with Macrovision, the Macrovision signal usually blocks all but the top of the code. But sometimes, the full code is shown for a few seconds before the Macrovision signal takes over.
* Several early tapes use oversized reels, while some use regular reels.
* Late '80s and early '90s tapes duplicated at Diner+Allied had a white or orange sticker with information and a print date on it, like this for example:
'''MOONSTRUCK'''
'''4180-01 112689BCB03-571 NTSC'''
* '80s tapes from its other locations had no printings on them save for what the manufacturer itself printed.
* Early '90s tapes from this duplicator had dark printings above the recording tab spot, like these examples:
Line 210 ⟶ 231:
'''T-30 A-003-009 11:54 225-04-EG'''
On these tapes, the code on the vertical blanking interval at the beginning and end of the tape was different (e.g. '''C187-5-2''' for pre-1995 tapes (as well as some with the recording tab spot dark printings) or '''A2021891''' for 1996-2008 tapes, as well as some with the standard printings
Sometimes, the last digit of codes like these is different at the end, compared to the beginning.
Line 219 ⟶ 240:
* On some tapes, most notably from customers inherited from HMG, there wasn't any form of printing at all.
* Some tapes from 1995-2000 with the mid-late 1995 "ADT" codes and the "ADT80" codes have the static roll of death at the end.
* Some World Wide Pictures Home Video tapes, as well as one known copy of ''Dragonball Z: Frieza - Death of a Prince'', had dark printings on the bottom middle side (e.g. '''T-115 B-003-008 22:21-150-02 MN''').
* Some tapes had dark printings that were formatted differently ('''T-45 101099 1432''').
Line 245 ⟶ 266:
* CDs manufactured by Allied Digital Technologies generally have the following CD matrix format:
