Over the past couple of years, I’ve gotten A LOT of questions about Contemporary VHS releases for analog video work, so I finally decided to put together a quickie ‘one-sheet’ style website to point people at.
First, who am I missing in terms of Sales/Manufacturing?
Second, I think it’d be cool to do an FAQ. . . why kinda stuff should we add to the page? I don’t want it to get TOO DEEP, but definitely a good jumping off point for folks that are interested in professionally doing VHS releases.
yes, i like the idea too, will think about suggestions for things to add. one thing i realized is that there are few resources for sourcing or making vhs tape cases or sleeves. i was trying to look up ones to buy and could only find the library ones… but i know there are more kinds and i also know that one can make them out of cardstock.
I’ve been slacking, but I wanted to mirror/host every template I could find, in that third section, as well as some ‘Delivery Specs’ for VHS delivery, and some .EPR’s (plus whatever format Compressor uses as a Preset).
I know there’s other types, as well, but other than Library Cases, they may be lost to the ages.
At duplication.ca we used to have, like, thousands of blank white cardboard sleeves but we didn’t sell a single unit for yeaaars and then I think my boss just recycled them all.
Of course like a year later I set up VHS duplication for them and there’s now a whole subset of DIY VHS customers but he thought at the time that I was the only weirdo doing this sort of thing.
hi i am from Fargo, this guy here runs a mainly cassette label for harsh noise but also does VHS releases under Invocation Films. he released a vhs i did of weird crap that is called NEVERDAY although its sold out. u should hit him up if u have material or say whats up to me for compilation he might put out or collab.
