Line 121: * I wish I knew. It's certainly a question worth investigating, that's for sure. --[[User:IlCattivo25\|IlCattivo25]] ([[User talk:IlCattivo25\|talk]]) 19:59, 19 January 2024 (UTC) Actually, after further investigation onthrough a 05-23-1992 issue of Billboard Magazine, which has an article about LIVE’s deal with WEA (the article also talked about Warner Home Video, including HBO Video and MGM/UA Home Video being marketed by Warner Home Video), I can confirm that Warner Home Video was still being distributed by WEA until sometime in the mid-1990s. [[Special:Contributions/2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:91AA:2074:3AA4:AC52\|2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:91AA:2074:3AA4:AC52]] 00:22, 23 March 2024 (UTC) == Vidmark/Republic == Line 168: The show was produced by Running Gag Productions for Century Video Corporation and distributed by The Entertainment Network. If I'm not mistaken, the show was released in 1983 and I don't think it had much episodes. Besides, I've heard that the show was telecast on one of the NBC affiliates, but I'm not sure if any other television stations telecast this show. Anyhow, the show had several VHS releases over the years by several outfits. AFAIK, the original VHS releases were by Century Home Video (which I assume was the DBA name for Century Video Corporation), under their children's division label Kidtime Video (or better known as "Century Home Video Presents Kidtime Video"). Another outfit that released VHS tapes of the show was CinemaKid Productions, which released their VHS tapes of the show in 1986. The Century Home Video releases were later re-released sometime in the late 1980s/early 1990s by Simitar Entertainment and TAV/ATI Video (formerly known as Trans-Atlantic Video, also a merger with duplicator ATI Mark V Products). The Simitar Entertainment re-releases preserved the Kidtime Video logos and the original closing bumpers on the video content; the Kidtime Video logo was also preserved on the packaging covers (this is likely how the original Century Home Video releases were presented), but neither of those were preserved on the TAV/ATI re-releases and the TAV/ATI re-releases simply replaced the Kidtime Video logo on the covers with the TAV/ATI one. It also spawned a soundtrack album which was released on vinyl. Line 199: I appreciate your work in making this wiki. I did edit on the Miraheze version because I wasn't aware this wiki moved to WikiTude. I do have a question to ask, is this wiki strictly for North American releases only, or can I put releases from other regions (eg, UK) as well? [[User:LTPHarry\|LTPHarry]] ([[User talk:LTPHarry\|talk]]) 16:50, 14 February 2024 (UTC) * Work on this wiki has largely been North American in its scope, but international releases are appreciated, too! --[[User:IlCattivo25\|IlCattivo25]] ([[User talk:IlCattivo25\|talk]]) 20:53, 14 February 2024 (UTC) == Producers Tape Service == Where did you read that Producers Tape Service was originally going to be in a duplication pact with Lyons that ended up being scrapped? Also, what were the reasons that the pact was scrapped? [[Special:Contributions/2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:20B6:FABB:5C09:255C\|2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:20B6:FABB:5C09:255C]] 01:03, 3 April 2024 (UTC) * [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2017-04-21/.115071 Here.] Unfortunately, I can find no other source that talks about this pact, and this source doesn't go into detail about why the pact fell through, because that's not really the focus of the article. --[[User:IlCattivo25\|IlCattivo25]] ([[User talk:IlCattivo25\|talk]]) 01:06, 3 April 2024 (UTC) I see. [[Special:Contributions/2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:20B6:FABB:5C09:255C\|2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:20B6:FABB:5C09:255C]] 01:13, 3 April 2024 (UTC) == Batman (1989) == I'm wondering if your WCVD specimen of the Batman VHS has a date when it was pressed. Also, could your WCVD Batman tape be possibly recycled off of a Technicolor specimen of a different WHV tape? [[Special:Contributions/2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:9505:83A8:FB4E:6FF6\|2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:9505:83A8:FB4E:6FF6]] 21:44, 29 April 2024 (UTC) * 10119 20:19. 11 October 1989 at 8:19 PM PDT (that's what I'm guessing the time was, anyway). --[[User:IlCattivo25\|IlCattivo25]] ([[User talk:IlCattivo25\|talk]]) 21:48, 29 April 2024 (UTC) I wonder if you also own other duplicator's copies of this exact release of Batman (1989). Besides that one Premiere Video pressing that Videolover1999 owns and of course a few pressings from RVSA, I've seen at least one (or maybe two, can't remember) copies of this release handled by the Technicolor Videocassette, Inc. Livonia, Michigan plant (the ones with a barcode sticker on the left side of the cassette shell; whether or not they have DTMF tones is unknown, though). [[Special:Contributions/69.85.235.45\|69.85.235.45]] 16:14, 16 May 2024 (UTC) * One from Technicolor, two from RVSA (one of the latter which is the screener). --[[User:IlCattivo25\|IlCattivo25]] ([[User talk:IlCattivo25\|talk]]) 19:29, 16 May 2024 (UTC) Do either your retail and/or screener copies from RVSA have the unusual formatting for the print/press date code where the date has been formatted as "WHV xx9" (as opposed to WHV 9xx")? Also, does your Technicolor pressing have the barcode sticker (the CBS/Fox-style one that is) on the left side of the cassette shell, and the CBS/Fox-style dark inked printings on the spine? Or does it just have WHV engraved on the left side of the shell, and the Newbury Park, California style grey printings (with the batch number beginning with either WB or WHV)? [[Special:Contributions/2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:CCDF:D4E2:E811:5B7D\|2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:CCDF:D4E2:E811:5B7D]] 20:19, 16 May 2024 (UTC) == VHS VCRs == Just out of curiosity, what VHS VCRs do you use? (whether it be one or multiple VCRs) [[Special:Contributions/69.85.235.45\|69.85.235.45]] 13:09, 20 May 2024 (UTC) == Anime Duplicators == How did you know that Congress Video's duplication unit was an anime duplicator? [[Special:Contributions/69.85.235.45\|69.85.235.45]] 12:14, 21 May 2024 (UTC) * Congress Video released at least one Tekkaman video in its early days. --[[User:IlCattivo25\|IlCattivo25]] ([[User talk:IlCattivo25\|talk]]) 12:16, 21 May 2024 (UTC) I'm looking up that one Congress Video Tekkaman release just as I'm typing this. It seemed that they released two of them as the one Tekkaman tape I'm looking up is labeled volume 2. Perhaps CV only had the license to the franchise for less than a year or so. The fact that this was a few years before CV secured sub-licenses with HBO leads me to wonder if CV held other licenses in its early days (at that time, they were better known for offering public domain material). [[Special:Contributions/69.85.235.45\|69.85.235.45]] 12:26, 21 May 2024 (UTC) == GoodTimes Home Video == I mean, I’m aware that RCA/Columbia had a licensing arrangement with GoodTimes Home Video in the late '80s and early '90s, but are we sure that RCA/Columbia handled the distribution of GoodTimes' product back then? [[Special:Contributions/69.118.23.185\|69.118.23.185]] 18:18, 14 June 2024 (UTC) * I found out from the bottom right corner of [https://www.worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Music/Billboard-Index/IDX/1990/1990-11-03-Billboard-Page-0037.pdf this page]. --[[User:IlCattivo25\|IlCattivo25]] ([[User talk:IlCattivo25\|talk]]) 18:41, 14 June 2024 (UTC) == I found Billie Jean King: Tennis Everyone! == https://www.ebay.com/itm/256586040291 Now to find a release date.--[[User:Vahan Nisanian\|Vahan Nisanian]] ([[User talk:Vahan Nisanian\|talk]]) 03:29, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
