Line 12:
** In addition, Astral Media acquired Pathé Video in 1989.
* Beginning in 1995, tapes duplicated by AstralTech have ink information on the bottom middle side akin to those duplicated by Technicolor, except the information reads the name of the release and cartridge numbers in either 0/0, 00/00, 000/000 or 0000/0000.
** For example, if the cartridge number reads "13/40", that means the tape is cartridge number 13 out of the 40 cartridges, although in some ways, this does not guarantee that only 40 copies of the VHS release were manufactured, however. Or, if it reads "089/510", that means the tape is cartridge number 89 out of 510 cartridges.
** In fact, Astral Media sold its video duplication and distribution unit to Technicolor in 2000, however, the sale did not include the Astral Home Entertainment video wholesaling and marketing operation.
