'''Goldstar Video Corp.''', later known as '''Goldstar Entertainment''' and not to be confused with the Korean-based company Lucky-Goldstar (currently known as LG Corporation), was an American video distributor located in Freehold, New Jersey. The company was formed sometime around 1990 and had deals with a few home video labels/distributors including Random House Home Video, and duplication contracts with [[Cassette Productions]], [[Matrix Video Duplication Corporation]], and [[Hauppauge Video Manufacturing]]. Sometime in 1992, Goldstar formed a children’s video division called The Little Red Schoolhouse Learning Center. |
|||
The company's video releases were always duplicated in EP/SLP mode, sometimes with only a linear audio track, although some releases were in SP mode. As always, the regular video label/distributor's UPC codes are replaced with Goldstar’s own UPC codes, beginning with the prefix "054342," and the regular video label/distributor's stock number is left intact. |
|||
Around 1991 and 1992, some of the company's tapes were duplicated at [[Alpha Video Distributors, Inc.]] |
|||
At some point in the late 1990s, Goldstar Video Corp. ceased operations. This may have been due to customers complaining about the company's frequent use of EP/SLP mode and lack of hi-fi on some of their releases. |
