Some Sources Said that S/T Videocassette was a Division of VCA Teletronics
Does anyone know when S/T Videocassette became a division of VCA Teletronics? From my knowledge, VCA started printing out print dates on their videotapes around 1982, but did they acquire S/T in 1982 or 1985? 69.85.235.231 14:04, 23 March 2022 (UTC) Interesting, so in other words, S/T is the abbreviation for Sony/Teletronics, am I right? 69.85.235.231 16:46, 23 March 2022 (UTC) However, when VCA started a separate joint venture with Technicolor in the mid 1980s (maybe 1985 to be certain), was the “Sony/Teletronics” name changed to “Sony/Technicolor” or was it still the same? From my knowledge, Teletronics started distributing music video titles under license from a few record distributors like Columbia Records around that time. 2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:1CE3:F483:2848:E38D 02:08, 25 March 2022 (UTC) You know, well this has nothing to do with home media, but ATLINKS, which is a company that releases telephone equipment, apparently originated in 2000 as a joint venture between Alcatel (later folded into Nokia in 2015) and Thomson (later folded into Technicolor in 2010), both based in France. In the fall of 2005, Thomson completely integrated the ATLINKS brand from their products. During Thomson's ownership of the ATLINKS company, ATLINKS released telephones in North America carrying the General Electric and RCA brand names, which were OEM manufactured in China by CCT Tech Advanced Products (who also did the OEM manufacturing for a couple of Panasonic branded telephones dating back to 2001-2003 and most Motorola branded telephones) Today, ATLINKS is just a division of Nokia (Alcatel's successor). Another company that Thomson at one point owned was TTE Technology, which originated in early 2004 as a joint venture with TCL and was also known as TCL-Thomson Electronics. In North America and Europe, TTE marketed televisions carrying the RCA and Thomson brand names, with the TCL branded sets marketed in Asia. Today, TTE is just a division of TCL. 69.85.235.49 17:57, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * S/T was a joint venture between Sony and Teletronics, so as far as I'm aware it was always a division. --IlCattivo25 (talk) 16:24, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah. --IlCattivo25 (talk) 20:28, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Now that, I'm not entirely sure about. --IlCattivo25 (talk) 21:03, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Anchor Bay Entertainment
Why did Anchor Bay Entertainment switch its regular videotape duplication service provider from Technicolor Video Services to Allied Digital around the summer of 1995 despite the former duplicator being one of the Major Two? 2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:5D1C:9359:1429:37BD 22:54, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

BCP UPC barcodes
Could someone post a picture of what they're talking about when they mention those barcodes on DuckTales, Fantasia, and Rescuers 2? --IlCattivo25 (talk) 14:54, 25 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I have proof about the one on "Fantasia" here.


 * You're welcome. 69.85.235.46 15:01, 25 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I typed the barcode in the GEPIR section of GS1's website, and this is what I got for the company name:
 * Bell & Howell/columbia Picture
 * 720 LANDWEHR RD NORTHBROOK, IL 60062-2310 US
 * 69.85.235.46 15:21, 25 May 2022 (UTC)


 * After looking carefully at the barcode on a copy of Rescuers Down Under on eBay, I don’t know if those barcode numbers ever appeared on Rescuers Down Under, or DuckTales the Movie. In fact, I have also found this barcode thingy on “DSAS: The Bare Necessities.” 2601:4C4:4000:A8C0:A45A:15DB:D7B6:6AF0 19:33, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
