'''Goldstar Entertainment, Inc.''' (originally known as '''Goldstar Video Corporation''' or simply '''Goldstar Video''') and not to be confused with Korean-based manufacturer and distributor Lucky-Goldstar (currently known as LG Corporation), was an American video distributor located in the East Coast. The company was formed sometime in 1991 and had deals with a few home video labels/distributors, most notably Random House Home Video, and duplication contracts with a few companies, but sometimes self-duplicated as to earlier releases. Sometime in 1992, Goldstar formed a children's sub-label called The Little Red Schoolhouse Learning Center. Sometime in 1993, the company formed a division; Camelot Entertainment, Inc., unrelated to Camelot Entertainment Sales, the ad sales division of King World Entertainment. After forming Camelot Entertainment, the company's headquarters moved to Tinton Falls, New Jersey. That same year, when the company's headquarters were still in Freehold, New Jersey, they formed another division for releasing public domain cartoons; Goldrix Entertainment, a joint venture with duplicator [[Matrix Video Duplication Corporation]]. The name of the joint venture is a portmanteau of the two companies' names ('''Gold'''star and Mat'''rix''').
 
The company's video releases were always duplicated in EP/SLP mode, sometimes with only a linear audio track, although some releases may be in SP mode, or in some rare cases, LP mode. On releases sub-licensed by Random House Home Video, the sub-licensor's ISBN and/or UPC codes are replaced with Goldstar’s own ISBN and/or UPC codes, beginning with the prefix "054342," and the sub-licensor's stock number is usually left intact. Releases sub-licensed by Turner Home Entertainment, on the other hand, reuse the original packaging.
