Paramount would form their own home video distribution arm in late 1979 and its first titles appeared on the Winter 1980 CES. Paramount would later secure deals with third-party distributors, most notably Atlantic Releasing Corporation and Skouras Pictures, throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
 
Paramount would later launch sublabels, such as '''Paramount Gateway Video''', formed in 1982 to release mid-price titles, and '''Bel Canto/Paramount Home Video''', formed in 1985 to release music-related titles. In 1984, Paramount Home Video beginbegan distributing titles byfrom Simon & Schuster Video, aand companyfour thatyears waslater, atbegan thatdistributing titles by Madison Square Garden Home Video.

Throughout the early 1990s, it was the distributor for [[Full Moon Features|Full Moon Entertainment]], Miramax Home Video, and Skouras Home Video. In 1994, it became the distributor for Capital Cities/ABC Video Publishing; the distribution pact later expired in 1997, a year after Capital Cities/ABC was sold to The Walt Disney Company and renamed to ABC, Inc., with Capital Cities/ABC Video Publishing merged into [[Buena Vista Home Entertainment|Buena Vista Home Video]] as a result. The company picked up the [[Nickelodeonhome Homevideo Video|Nickelodeonrights Video]]to Nickelodeon labeltitles in JulyJune 1996 as a result of Nickelodeon's home video and music pact with [[Sony Music Entertainment]] being terminated at the time. Five years later, in September 2001, the company picked up the [[MTV Home Entertainment|MTV Home Video]] label. In 2004, the company picked up home video rights to Hasbro's titles, until Hasbro would later leave for [[Shout! Factory]] by the end of the decade.
 
In 1998, it entered the DVD market, after trying on DIVX, then entered high definition in 2006. Paramount briefly withdrew from Blu-ray in 2007, except titles directed by Steven Spielberg, only to reenter Blu-ray in 2008 after HD-DVD failed.
