How to Tell

 * Most tapes duplicated at Allied Digital have a numeric code on the vertical-blanking interval of the screen at the beginning of it, akin to how tapes duplicated at Technicolor in the West Coast area begin. On tapes from 1992 to 1995, the vertical blanking interval has a date in the code, and begins with either "AFV TN," "AFV," "AFVTN" or "@FVTN". Starting around mid-late 1995, this same code started with "ADT." In late 1995, the code changed to a different code like this for example: "ADT8011161:07." However, on tapes encoded with Macrovision, the Macrovision signal blocks all but the top of the code.
 * Several tapes use oversized reels, while some use regular reels.
 * 1992 tapes have a print date and time.
 * Post-1993 tapes duplicated at Allied Digital have a day-year code, as well as a print time. In addition, there would also be a name of the release, a nominal length, and/or a serial code. Sometimes, the day-year code is on the side, implying when the tape was assembled.
