Talk:Paramount Home Entertainment: Difference between revisions

- the 1996 VHS release of "Rugrats: A Baby's Gotta Do What a Baby's Gotta Do" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Mine uses the 1998 horizontal sticker label on the front of the cassette shell. Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. Dark ink number on the cassette spine appears to be faded. Printed/pressed during the 26th week of 1999 (DLX 926); 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 1996 VHS release of "Rugrats: Chuckie the Brave" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Mine was packaged in the 1998 cover, and it uses the 1999 horizontal sticker label on the front of the cassette shell, which I could tell the label was made in 1999 because of the byline "A VIACOM COMPANY" below the Paramount logo at the top left corner of the label, but it reuses the 1998 date for the Paramount Pictures copyright anyway (the 1998 label would not have had the Viacom byline and neither would have the 1996 label). Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. Dark ink number on the cassette spine appears to say 14, but is partially worn, making it hard to tell. Printed/pressed during the 34th week of 1999 (DLX 934); 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 1996 VHS release of "Rugrats: The Santa Experience" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works 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 and mainly because there aren't numbers on the left of the vertical interval at the beginning, there is nothing at the end after the end of the program material itself.

- the 1997 VHS release of "Rugrats: Tommy Troubles" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works 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. Dark ink number on the cassette spine says 81. 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 Works 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.

- the 1997 VHS release of "Rugrats: A Rugrats Vacation" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Mine was packaged in the original 1997 cover. 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 to get to the number that's printed in dark ink (said number says 86). 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: A Rugrats Thanksgiving" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. Dark ink number on the cassette spine says 81. Printed/pressed during the 40th week of 1998 (PAR 840); 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 1998 VHS release of "Rugrats: Dr. Tommy Pickles" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). My copy is a Canadian-distributed copy (I don't even live there, I live in the U.S.). Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. Invisible ink printings on the cassette spine, but only the title and catalog number are in the printings (No print/press date whatsover for some reason) and they're shifted all the way to the right of the spine. Duplicated in EP/SLP mode. Static roll at the end, which cuts to a fullscreen static screen, which then cuts back to the static roll at the very end. I was half-surprised to find out that this tape uses the videotaped versions of the 1995 Paramount opening and closing logos instead of the standard filmed versions.

- the 1998 VHS release of "Rugrats: Mommy Mania" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. Dark ink number on the cassette spine says 88 (I think). Printed/pressed during the 10th week of 1998 (PAR 810); 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 1998 VHS release of "Rugrats: Angelica Knows Best" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. Dark ink number on the cassette spine says 81. Printed/pressed during the 4th week of 1999 (PAR 904); 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 1998 VHS boxset "Rugrats: A Rugrats Passover / A Rugrats Chanukah" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). Both tapes use Nickelodeon-style orange cassette shells and were duplicated in EP/SLP mode.

- the 1999 VHS release of "Blue's Clues: ABC's & 123's" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). It uses the 2001 horizontal sticker label on the front of the cassette shell. Dark ink number on the cassette spine says 212. Cassette shell and tape guard are black. Printed/pressed during the 40th week of 2001 (DLX 140); duplicated in SP mode. Because of this tape being in SP mode while having been printed/pressed in 2001 and mainly because there aren't numbers on the left of the vertical interval at the beginning, there is nothing at the end after the end of the program material itself. My copy was distributed by Columbia House, in which my copy had the orange Columbia House seal sticker (with the letters "CHC" imprinted underneath). Despite this, my copy still has trailers at the beginning.

- the 1999 VHS release of "Rugrats: Make Room for Dil" (released under the Nickelodeon Video Works line). It uses the early 2000 horizontal sticker label on the front of the cassette shell. Dark ink number on the cassette spine says 27. Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange. Printed/pressed during the 12th week of 2000 (DLX 012); duplicated in SP mode. Because of this tape being in SP mode while having been printed/pressed in 2000 and mainly because there aren't numbers on the left of the vertical interval at the beginning, there is nothing at the end after the end of the program material itself.

- the 2000 VHS release of "Rugrats: Discover America" (released under the Nickelodeon Home Video line). Mine uses the original 2000 horizontal sticker label on the front of the cassette shell, with the Paramount Pictures copyright dated 1999 for some reason, despite it being dated 2000 on the back of the cover. Cassette shell and tape guard are Nickelodeon-style orange, but the release button is black. Dark ink number on the cassette spine appears to be either faded or absent. Printed/pressed during the 14th week of 2000 (DLX 014); 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 2001 VHS release of "Rugrats: All Growed Up" (released under the Nickelodeon Home 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.
