==IVE/FHE Factual Errors==

Since you are collecting IVE/FHE/LIVE/Artisan tapes for a long time, there are some factual errors surrounding [https://www.avid.wiki/International_Video_Entertainment#1st_Logo_(September_1986-August_10,_1989) the 1st IVE logo] and [https://www.avid.wiki/Family_Home_Entertainment#2nd_Logo_(May_22,_1985-April_1991) the 2nd FHE logo]. The [https://www.avid.wiki/International_Video_Entertainment#1st_Logo_(September_1986-August_10,_1989) 1st IVE logo] actually debuted in 1984/1985 on some tapes, including the ''ThrillerVideo'' line, while [https://www.avid.wiki/Family_Home_Entertainment#2nd_Logo_(May_22,_1985-April_1991) the 2nd FHE logo] debuted in 1984 on tapes like ''G.I. Joe''. --[[Special:Contributions/2600:1700:4300:2C8E:64E0:FEEF:DF53:D825|2600:1700:4300:2C8E:64E0:FEEF:DF53:D825]] 04:22, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

==Years missing==

Hello, I want to get some help with [[1998]], [[1999]], [[2000]], [[2001]], [[2002]], [[2003]], [[2004]], [[2005]] and [[2006]]. 1998 was indeed the year LIVE became Artisan, and Artisan has full support over D-VHS (along with other studios) under the brand D-Theater, as well as DVD, and 2004 was the year Artisan was swallowed up by Lionsgate. --[[Special:Contributions/2600:1700:4300:2C8F:C162:268D:805B:A66A|2600:1700:4300:2C8F:C162:268D:805B:A66A]] 09:59, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Look at the new DVD section of the release date pages! I want some help, and I want some help regarding Artisan's DVDs as well, since Artisan is your favorite home video distributor. --[[Special:Contributions/2600:1700:4300:2C8E:F47B:2D28:6373:F02F|2600:1700:4300:2C8E:F47B:2D28:6373:F02F]] 17:57, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

== Vidmark Entertainment ==

Line 112:

Line 106:

Of the [https://www.avid.wiki/Trimark_Pictures Trimark logo], the name did not appear until as late as 1990, and made its theatrical debut on ''Warlock'', all theatrical releases prior to ''Warlock'', such as ''Backstreet Dreams'' used the 1988 Vidmark logo as a de-facto theatrical logo. --[[Special:Contributions/2600:1700:4300:2C8E:C9EA:CAB6:21D0:708B|2600:1700:4300:2C8E:C9EA:CAB6:21D0:708B]] 19:52, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

==Lionsgate==

It's now nice adding the Lionsgate releases to [[Comprehensive catalog of Artisan Entertainment releases‎‎]] since the Lionsgate titles on the list are mostly of DVD and Blu-ray releases! Lionsgate bought out Artisan in 2003.

Another factual error regarding the [https://www.avid.wiki/Trimark_Pictures Trimark logo] that it actually debuted on January 11, 1991, not May 12, 1989. --[[Special:Contributions/2600:1700:4300:2C8E:526:8FD2:91ED:148F|2600:1700:4300:2C8E:526:8FD2:91ED:148F]] 05:32, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

You have built up the [[List of Lions Gate Home Entertainment trailer reels|Lionsgate trailer reels]] page!

==Trimark info==

Congratulations, you have just done the Live releases of 1991. As of [https://www.avid.wiki/Trimark_Pictures info regarding the Trimark logo], earlier VHS releases of many pre-1994 Trimark films like ''Warlock'' and ''Leprechaun'' had the Vidmark logo plastering the Trimark logo and many VHS releases of 1994-1997 films like ''Kids'' and ''Crimetime'' used the high pitched version, unusual on any NTSC tape from that time. In fact, the logo was confirmed to debut on January 11, 1991, not May 12, 1989.

Speaking of [https://www.avid.wiki/Artisan_Entertainment another company that was swallowed up by Lionsgate], there's another rare early version where [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJaWY-zFuh0 the "Entertainment" text fades in]. --[[Special:Contributions/2600:1700:4300:2C8E:6C78:82C4:592B:7114|2600:1700:4300:2C8E:6C78:82C4:592B:7114]] 16:07, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

==Most Wanted Videotapes==

Speaking of the [[Most Wanted Videotapes]] list, here's many more tapes that appear to be missing from the list:

* ''The Making of the Terminator/The Making of Missing in Action 2: The Beginning'' (1985; Vidmark Entertainment)

* ''Danger Mouse Vol. 4'' (1985; Thorn EMI/HBO Video)

* ''The Nightly Business Report Guide to Buying Insurance'' (1991; PBS Home Video/Pacific Arts, [https://archive.org/details/TheNBRGuidetoBuyingInsurance this video appears to be the WPBT release])

* ''How to Benefit from Tax Reform'' (1987; Forum Home Video)

* ''Fraggle Rock Vol. 13'' (1986; Thorn EMI/HBO Video)

* Good catch. Of course, LIVE and even Artisan had been filling in the post-60180 mainline catalog numbers that IVE didn't assign after going all the way up to 69999 (whatever that may have been), so there's still a bit more work to be done in sorting out when the mainline catalog numbers stopped and the Lionsgate catalog numbers started. --[[User:IlCattivo25|IlCattivo25]] ([[User talk:IlCattivo25|talk]]) 18:09, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Pay attention home video fans, we didn't know a majority of [[1984#TBD]] releases so it is probably stuck. --[[Special:Contributions/2600:1700:4300:2C8E:8CA3:D0D6:546:5AB5|2600:1700:4300:2C8E:8CA3:D0D6:546:5AB5]] 19:43, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

==Prism distributors==

Besides being mostly self-distributed, Prism Entertainment had two other distributors: Paramount Home Video ([https://www.worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Music/Billboard-Index/IDX/1989/1989-12-16-Billboard-Page-0001.pdf December 1989]-[http://www.worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Music/Billboard-Index/IDX/1991/1991-01-05-Billboard-Page-0094.pdf December 1990] and Turner Home Entertainment ([http://www.worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Music/Billboard-Index/IDX/1994/1994-11-26-Billboard-Page-0101.pdf November 1994]-1996). --[[Special:Contributions/2600:1700:4300:2C8E:3825:24F4:773B:C86F|2600:1700:4300:2C8E:3825:24F4:773B:C86F]] 00:55, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

==Stuck again?==

I think we didn't know the release dates on the [[1985#TBD]], [[1986#TBD]] and [[1987#TBD]] pages, that was a lot, so it was stuck again. --[[Special:Contributions/2600:1700:4300:2C8E:3888:EA9E:3:9173|2600:1700:4300:2C8E:3888:EA9E:3:9173]] 19:51, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

==1997==

I am stuck once again on [[1997#TBD]], still don't know on the releases. So I forgot to mention on the 1985 page that ''Classic Creatures: Return of the Jedi'' is Playhouse, not Thorn EMI/HBO and put ''Code of Silence'' back in. --[[Special:Contributions/2600:1700:4300:2C8E:9118:271B:F611:32DF|2600:1700:4300:2C8E:9118:271B:F611:32DF]] 01:31, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

== C/FP Video ==

According to some issues of Billboard Magazine from the mid-1990s, Capital Cities/ABC Video Publishing labels such as ABC Video and ESPN Home Video were once distributed in Canada by C/FP Video from 1994 to 1997. Around the same time, those labels were distributed here in the U.S. by Paramount Home Video. [Prior to 1994, those labels were distributed in the U.S. (and possibly Canada) by Warner-Elektra-Atlantic Corporation]

Stuck yet again regarding [[1993#TBD]], [[1994#TBD]], [[1995#TBD]] and [[1996#TBD]]. Any A*Vision/WarnerVision release was distributed by Warner-Elektra-Atlantic Corporation prior to 1997 when it was switched to Warner Home Video.

==Factual errors regarding anime releases==

There are some factual errors regarding anime releases. First, ''Devil Hunter Yohka'' came out in [[1992]], not [[1993]]. Second, ''Burn Up!'' was released by A.D. Vision in [[1995]], not [[AnimEigo]] in [[1992]]. --[[Special:Contributions/2600:1700:4300:2C8E:440B:A707:CC11:534A|2600:1700:4300:2C8E:440B:A707:CC11:534A]] 20:22, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

==1983 stuck?==

I think [[1983#TBD]] is stuck. So you are going to do a page on The Right Stuf International and its comprehensive catalog. Here are a few adult distributors we know (the 1980s majors), I accidentally forgot in the [[Distributors]] page:

*Caballero Control Corporation

*VCX

*VCA Pictures

*Vivid Video

*Vidco

*Dreamland Home Video

*Video-X-Pix

*Quality X Video

*Private Screenings

*Gourmet Video Collection

Penthouse and Playboy were distributed by real major indie distributors. --[[Special:Contributions/2600:1700:4300:2C8E:81F1:1CE4:11AB:34CB|2600:1700:4300:2C8E:81F1:1CE4:11AB:34CB]] 01:37, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
