Some Sources Said that S/T Videocassette was a Division of VCA Teletronics

Does anyone know when S/T Videocassette became a division of VCA Teletronics? From my knowledge, VCA started printing out print dates on their videotapes around 1982, but did they acquire S/T in 1982 or 1985? 69.85.235.231 14:04, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

S/T was a joint venture between Sony and Teletronics, so as far as I'm aware it was always a division. --IlCattivo25 (talk) 16:24, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Interesting, so in other words, S/T is the abbreviation for Sony/Teletronics, am I right? 69.85.235.231 16:46, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Yeah. --IlCattivo25 (talk) 20:28, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

However, when VCA started a separate joint venture with Technicolor in the mid 1980s (maybe 1985 to be certain), was the “Sony/Teletronics” name changed to “Sony/Technicolor” or was it still the same? From my knowledge, Teletronics started distributing music video titles under license from a few record distributors like Columbia Records around that time. 2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:1CE3:F483:2848:E38D 02:08, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Now that, I'm not entirely sure about. --IlCattivo25 (talk) 21:03, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

The Letter Next to the Print Date on Tapes Duplicated by this Company from 1981-1998

Many 1981-98 tapes duplicated from Technicolor and its predecessors have a letter next to the print date. For example, the print code on my copy of the original VHS release of “Beauty and the Beast” reads 101892-B. The date part means October 18, 1992, but what about the letter next to it? Is it something like a shift code portion or something? (please note that I have assumed this before.) 74.187.193.126 02:50, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
