Label/Distributor Letter Codes

So even though Rank Video Services America was renamed Deluxe Video Services in mid-1998 (which resulted in their letter code being changed from "RVS" to "DLX"), some labels/distributors such as Paramount and probably Columbia TriStar continued to use their own letter codes until sometime in 1999 (Paramount's letter code was PAR, Columbia TriStar's letter code was CTV). I wonder when in 1999 that label/distributor letter codes were phased out in favor of the "DLX" code. For example, my copy of "Rugrats: Angelica Knows Best" (a Nickelodeon Video/Paramount release) was pressed during the 4th week of 1999 (PAR 904 instead of DLX 904), while my copy of "It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown" (a Peanuts Home Video/Paramount release) was pressed during the 37th week of 1999 (DLX 937). I also own a copy of "Chuckie the Brave" (also a Nickelodeon Video/Paramount release) that was pressed during the 34th week of 1999 (DLX 934). 69.85.235.45 16:54, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Latest and Earliest Known Uses of VBI Code Prefixes

In mid-1998, what was the latest known use of the "RVSA" VBI codes and the earliest known use of the "DELUXE" VBI codes?

The "RVSA\PVI" VBI Code

So when I was watching the beginning of this video, I actually saw a different VBI code that somehow said "RVSA\PVI" on the left, instead of the common "BHCP" codes. So this leads me to think that it probably won’t have the white screen test pattern at the end at all. 47.17.104.88 16:12, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
