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 began distributing titles from Simon & Schuster Video, and four years later, began distributing titles by Madison Square Garden Home Video. At the time, Simon & Schuster Video's corporate parent, Simon & Schuster, was owned by Gulf and Western Industries, which also owned Paramount Pictures, which made the former a sister company to the latter.
 
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 broughtpicked up the [[Nickelodeonhome Homevideo Video|Nickelodeon Video]] labelrights to NorthNickelodeon Americatitles in June 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.
