Line 1:
I own several VHS releases from Paramount Home Entertainment (originally known as Paramount Home Video; formerly known as Paramount Home Media Distribution). They are:
- the 1996 VHS release of "Rugrats:
- the 1996 VHS release of "Rugrats: The Santa Experience" (released under the Nickelodeon Video line). Mine was packaged in the 2000 cover, and it uses the 2000 horizontal sticker label on the front of the cassette shell. Dark ink number on the cassette spine says 139. Cassette shell and tape guard are black. Printed/pressed during the 38th week of 2001 (DLX 138); duplicated in SP mode. Because of this tape being in SP mode while having been printed/pressed in 2001, there is nothing at the end after the end of the program material itself.
- the 1996 VHS release of "Top Gun" (1986). My copy had a strip label on the cassette spine, but I peeled it off to get to the number that's printed in dark ink (said number says 59). Printed/pressed during the 36th week of 1996 (PAR 636).
- the 1997 VHS release of "Rugrats: Tommy Troubles" (released under the Nickelodeon Video line). Reuses the original 1996 cover and face label. The Hi-Fi Playback notice / ISBN / UPC code printed directly on the back is white, but has been plastered over with a yellow sticker version of this piece of information. Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. At the moment, I do not remember what the dark ink number on the cassette spine says. Printed/pressed during the 26th week of 1997 (PAR 726); duplicated in EP/SLP mode. White screen test pattern with 1000hz sine-wave tone at the end, which cuts to a fullscreen static screen.
- the 1997 VHS release of "Rugrats: Return of Reptar" (released under the Nickelodeon Video line). Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. My copy had a strip label on the cassette spine, but I peeled it off because I thought there was something underneath the label (as it turns out, there wasn't). The dark ink number is on the left side of the cassette shell rather than the cassette spine and says 19. Assembled presumably on April 15, 1997 (0415; the last four digits of the barcode sticker on the tape guard), during the 16th week of that year and printed/pressed sometime during that week (PAR 716); duplicated in EP/SLP mode. White screen test pattern with 1000hz sine-wave tone at the end, which cuts to a fullscreen static screen, which then cuts to a quarter-minute black screen with the "pull-my-finger" blare at the very end (The blare is only audible in the linear track even though this tape was technically encoded with Hi-Fi). I was half-surprised to find out that the black screen with the blare at the very end of this tape was in SP mode, due to the fact that this tape was technically in EP/SLP.
Line 24 ⟶ 28:
- the 2001 VHS release of "Rugrats: All Growed Up" (released under the Nickelodeon Video line). Printed/pressed during the 34th week of 2003 (DLX 334); duplicated in SP mode. My copy was recycled from a copy of an unknown Paramount VHS tape that uses a black cassette shell and black tape guard, and was printed/pressed during the 32nd week of 1998 (PAR 832). Dark ink number on the cassette spine says 51.
- the 2005 VHS release of "All Grown Up!: Dude, Where's My Horse?" (released under the Nickelodeon Video line). To my partial surprise, my copy is a Canadian-distributed copy, but it was pressed in the U.S. (according to the notation watermark printed in blue on the shrinkwrap over the back of the cover). Cassette shell and tape guard are black. Tape reels are also black. Uses horizontal silkscreen-inked label on the front of the cassette shell, printed/pressed on June 16, 2005 (061605). "PHE" is engraved in black on the right side of the cassette shell. "TTGNIC" is moulded on the back right of the shell.
- the 2005 VHS release of "Rugrats Tales from the Crib: Snow White" (released under the Nickelodeon Video line). Cassette shell and tape guard are black. Uses horizontal sticker label on the front of the cassette shell, printed/pressed on September 2, 2005 (090205).
