How to Tell

• VHS tapes duplicated by West Coast Video Duplicating (later MediaCopy) have visible ink information on the bottom middle side of the tape that is printed in a couple of different colors, but sometimes the color of the printings is invisible, like dark purple, for example.
  • The information on the tape includes the print date and time on the right. Next to the print date and time are letters that say "WCVD" (1990-1996) which stands for West Coast Video Duplicating or MCI (1996-2006) which stands for MediaCopy, Inc.
    • For example, if the print date/time is numbered "020795 1358", then that means the specific VHS tape was printed on February 7, 1995 at 1:58 PM.
  • 1990-2006 tapes, have two different types of tape nominal on the left of the information: on 1990-1996 tapes, the tape nominal is above the broken off record tab, while on 1996-2006 tapes, it is on the bottom label portion with a side number on the middle.
