How to Tell
- Tapes duplicated through VCA from 1980-1982 would have a sticker with numbers on it on the tape guard.
- Pre-1989 tapes duplicated through VCA and S/T have 2 different types of sticker print dates: Tapes duplicated through S/T between 1981 and 1989 have a blue (sometimes white) sticker on the bottom left or middle side, while tapes duplicated through VCA between 1982 and 1987 have a white sticker on the tape guard (and later on the bottom middle side starting in 1985).
- Pre-April 1989 tapes duplicated through VCA and S/T have two different types of a black (sometimes dark gray) screen test pattern at the end: Some 1985-1986 tapes have a black test pattern with a 410 hz looping beep-tone, or a 420 hz looping beep-tone, while most 1986-1989 tapes have either a 400 hz looping beep-tone, or a 1010 hz looping beep-tone.
- Some 1986-1987 tapes duplicated through VCA have a strange list of other films to play on the master recording at the end.
- For example, some copies of the 1985 VHS release of American Flyers printed in 1986 have a list showing a couple of Universal films, as well as a few other Warner Bros. films to play on the master recording at the end. The list also shows "Back to the Future" as the Q.C.
- Most 1989-2007 tapes duplicated through Technicolor have an ink print date instead of a sticker, while some only have stock numbers on the ink or sticker (sometimes with the tape speed, the print time and a side number next to it).
- Some post-1989 tapes duplicated through Technicolor with only stock numbers (sometimes with the tape speed and a side label digit next to it) on sticker on the bottom middle side had a barcode on the top. Pre-1989 tapes duplicated through S/T had either the distributor prefix or name on these types of stickers, but no barcode.
- Starting in 1993, some tapes duplicated through Technicolor with a print date on the bottom middle ink or sticker had a barcode on the right, as well as a time.
- The time was directly next to the date on post-1995 tapes. However, on most 1993-2003 tapes, it would be next to the length code.
- For example, if the print date/time on the VHS tape reads "010196-1729", that means the tape was printed at 5:29 PM on January 1, 1996.
- Most 1989-2003 tapes duplicated through Technicolor had the DTMF phone dial-tone sequence at the start and/or end of the tape (sometimes with a faint sequence of extra tones preceding it).
- Most 1981-2003 tapes had a digit for the shift next to the print date, which was usually either 1, 2 or 3 letters or numbers.
- 1985-2007 tapes have an abbreviation engraving on either the left or right side of the tape that usually indicates the company that distributed the tape.
- However, on 1994-1995 tapes distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment and its predecessors, the abbreviated letters indicate the tape speed.
- The engraving on either the left or right side of tapes distributed by Columbia House Video says either "275T" or "T275".
