==History==
Paramount first tried to enter the home video market with a duplication pact with S/T Videocassette Duplicating Corp. in 1976, but their movies remained unavailable for three years. In the meantime, Paramount secured a deal with MCA Distributing Corporation to bring their library to DiscoVision in 1978. Paramount then secured a deal with [[Fotomat Video]] in 1979 to release their movies on videocassette
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.
