Talk:What if different companies released different titles?

During the early 1990s, did Disney/Buena Vista ever use the Technicolor "No Print Date" barcode stickers on some of their tapes (the same kind used on some Video Treasures, Burbank Video, MNTex Entertainment, Starmaker Entertainment, Vestron Video, Avon, Simon Marketing, etc. tapes), or did they always use print dates whether they were inked or sticker printed? 69.85.235.49 13:16, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

I believe it was always print dates. --IlCattivo25 (talk) 00:37, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Well, some Disney/Buena Vista tapes duplicated at Technicolor's New York plant from 1992-1995 that have print dates contained the prefix "WD" followed by either a five or six-digit stock number and either "VPD," "VP," "-V," or "-S."

While I believe "-S" indicated SP mode, "VPD", "VP" and "-V" didn't indicate anything, but ironically, Matsushita Electric (DBA in North America as Panasonic and overseas as National; later became Panasonic Corporation and currently known as Panasonic Holdings) would develop a speed called VP for some of their VCRs over a decade later. 69.85.235.49 12:22, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
