== How to Tell ==
* Starting around the late 90's or early 2000's, some tapes had a set of letters "VM Group", and two print dates in the vertical blanking interval, usually with a clock next to it.
* Most tapes from this duplicator had printings, which were laid out like the following examples:
* SomeLeucadia SandstarFamily Films tapes by this duplicator over the Sandstar label said "'''VM'''"“VM” in the bottom right corner of the label.
 
* Some tapes have the record tab intact.
 
Example 1:
 
 
'''T-17 VM HKK VM MR PD-7612'''
 
 
Example 2:
 
 
'''T-93 VM HKX DV'''
 
 
 
Example 3:
 
 
'''T-111 VM HKX DJ SEPTEMBER 7 2002'''
 
 
However, some tapes do not have any printings of any kind.
 
* Some Sandstar tapes by this duplicator said "'''VM'''" in the bottom right corner of the label.
* Some pre-2000 tapes onward have the static roll of death at the end.
* Several tapes from [[The Duplication Group]], where this company acquired their assets, had some extra black screen following the static at the tail-end, accompanied by a rumbling sound in the linear track.
