Revision as of 15:06, 23 October 2023
I wonder if the Vidtronics Company was solely owned by Technicolor, or if it was a joint venture between Technicolor and another company. 69.85.235.224 16:45, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- I believe that one was all Technicolor. --IlCattivo25 (talk) 20:36, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
"Christmas Classics" (1993 VHS)
So, yesterday I checked my copy of the 1993 VHS release of "Christmas Classics" from Burbank Video. The tape itself has the 1993 horizontal silkscreen-inked label, but it doesn't have a barcode sticker, nor an inked printing on the tape spine, nor does it have "EP" engraved on the left side of the tape. I noticed that at the beginning of the tape, the code on the left of the VBI said "VT01421 MN#021". Some tapes pressed at Technicolor Video Services beginning in 1994 had the same VBI code style, particularly some copies of various tapes from Walt Disney Home Video (I own a 1994 LP mode copy of "The Ugly Dachsund" pressed on September 7, 1994 and a copy of "Disney's Sing-Along Songs: Circle of Life" pressed on November 14, 1994 that are like that, except I don't think the codes on those end with the MN or MM numbers). So I guessed my copy must have been printed/pressed sometime around 1995 when Anchor Bay Entertainment was in the process of switching its videocassette duplicator from Technicolor Video Services to Allied Digital Technologies. Though, it doesn't seem to have the quality check number, which is usually printed in red or blue ink between the clear leader tape and the beginning of the tape. After I checked my copy, I discovered a copy of this VHS release that was printed/pressed at Allied Digital Technologies on the 239th day of 1996 (August 26, 1996). Said copy was uploaded to YouTube by a user named Sam AKA Dank Mozart in January 2023, and had the same exact code on the VBI at the beginning as my copy, except the code ended with "MN#025" (See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIp7QUdNmis).
Thanks to that particular copy that Sam AKA Dank Mozart uploaded, now I'm beginning to debate whether my copy was pressed at Technicolor Video Services, or Allied Digital Technologies, and whether Technicolor Video Services sold the master tapes or the entirety of the plant, where Anchor Bay Entertainment had pressed some of their tapes at, to Allied Digital Technologies.
P.S., Sam AKA Dank Mozart and anyone else who is reading this, I'd like to let you know that the 1992 VHS opens with the late 1980s blue and white tracking control disclaimer screen, followed by an FBI warning in Gil Sans and Helvetica fonts, and then the Burbank Video logo.

Actually, I take that back -- I think Technicolor just sold the master tapes to Allied. Also my copy of "DSAS: CoL" actually does have an MN number on the VBI code. 69.85.235.224 19:27, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
Burbank Video
Recently, on Thursday, I got four VHS tapes from Burbank Video from eBay. They are as follows:
1. "Burbank Combat Classics: The Pacific Theater" (1991)
- 1991 release - Begins with the late 1980s blue tracking control disclaimer screen and the late 1980s FBI warning screen, before the late 1980s Burbank Video logo, all of which appeared to have been duplicated from a U-Matic tape, rather than a digital mastering tape, as evident by the sharpness.
- Catalog number: TG 1226
- Uses the 1994 horizontal sticker label with the Video Treasures logo. No catalog number on the label.
- Barcode sticker on the tape spine, with the number 2 in blue ink on the far right of the sticker. The code "VTTG1226EPD" is on the left of the sticker and was placed before the title.
- Blue "DUPLICATED IN EP MODE" sticker attached to the back of the packaging.
- "EP" is engraved on the left side of the cassette in orange.
2. "Burbank Combat Classics: The European Theater" (1991)
- 1994 re-release - Begins with the 1990 Video Treasures/Anchor Bay Entertainment tracking control disclaimer and FBI warning screens and 1987 Video Treasures logo (with "Presents"), before the late 1980s Burbank Video logo. In the middle of the tape, there is a screen that says "SECOND FEATURE TO FOLLOW". Ends with the 1990 closing variant of the 1987 Video Treasures logo.
- Catalog number: TG 1227
- Uses the 1994 horizontal sticker label with the Video Treasures logo. No catalog number on the label.
- Barcode sticker on the tape spine, with the number 3 in blue ink on the far right of the sticker. The code "VTTG1227EPD" is on the left of the sticker and was placed before the title.
- Blue "DUPLICATED IN EP MODE" sticker attached to the back of the packaging.
- "EP" is engraved on the left side of the cassette in orange.
- The code "VTTG1227 9-001" is shown on the left of the vertical interval at the beginning of the tape.
3. "Burbank Combat Classics: North Africa & Italy" (1991)
- 1994 re-release - Begins with the 1990 Video Treasures/Anchor Bay Entertainment tracking control disclaimer and FBI warning screens and 1987 Video Treasures logo (with "Presents"), before the late 1980s Burbank Video logo. In the middle of the tape, there is a screen that says "SECOND FEATURE TO FOLLOW". Ends with the 1990 closing variant of the 1987 Video Treasures logo.
- Catalog number: TG 1228
- Uses the 1994 horizontal sticker label with the Burbank Video logo. Catalog number VTBV1228-V on the label.

- Blue "DUPLICATED IN EP MODE" sticker attached to the back of the packaging.
- "EP" is engraved on the left side of the cassette in orange.
- The code "VTTG1228 9-001" is shown on the left of the vertical interval at the beginning of the tape.
4. "Burbank Combat Classics: Preparing for War" (1991)
- 1991 release - Begins with the late 1980s blue tracking control disclaimer screen and the late 1980s FBI warning screen, before the late 1980s Burbank Video logo, all of which are presented in digital mastering tape quality.
- Catalog number: TG 1230
- Uses the 1994 horizontal sticker label with the Video Treasures logo. No catalog number on the label.
- Barcode sticker on the tape spine, with the number 6 in blue ink on the far right of the sticker. The code "VTTG1230EPD" is on the left of the sticker and was placed before the title.
