- Warner Home Video is the home video unit of Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. , itself part of Time Warner. It was founded in 1978 as WCI Home Video. It was re-named Warner Home Video in 1980. Though some other Hollywood movie studios changed their "Home Video" units' names to "Home Entertainment" with the advent of DVD in the late 1990s, WHV's name has not changed yet. The company releases titles from the film and television library of Warner Bros. Studios, as well as programs from other Time Warner companies. Currently, they also serve distributor for television and/or movie product released by BBC, Lifetime, HBO, Cartoon Network, Turner Entertainment Co. , Court TV, Adult Swim, TNT, National Geographic Society in the U.S. , and product from the NBA, NFL, and NHL. Some early releases were notable for being time-compressed in order to save tape time and money and to compensate for long-playing cassettes being unavailable in the early days of home video. One example was 1978's Superman in which the film was released in a 127-minute format, compared to its 143-minute theatrical release. Warner Bros. began to branch out into the videodisc market, licensing titles to MCA DiscoVision and RCA's SelectaVision videodisc formats, allowing both companies to market and distribute the films under their labels. By 1985, Warner was releasing material under their own label in both formats. Warner also experimented with the "rental-only" market for videos, a method also used by 20th Century Fox for their first release of Star Wars in 1982. Two known films released in this manner were Superman II and Excalibur. In 1997, Warner Home Video was one of the first major American distributors for the new DVD format, by releasing Twister on DVD. Warner executive Warren Lieberfarb is often seen as "the father of DVD". In 2000, WHV was given the North America distribution rights for BBC Video titles, whereas previously they were distributed by CBS-Fox from the 1980s to the late 1990s. Many CBS/Fox releases of BBC Video titles were reissued under the WHV label, first on VHS and now DVD. This partnership between WHV and BBC Video continues to this day. In 2006, WHV announced they would enter the market of releasing original direct-to-video films, a market that has proven lucrative for studios over the past few years, and which has for the most part been dominated by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. They announced much of their output would be followups to films that had done well at the box office theatrically, but wouldn't be expected to do well if a sequel were to be made. The first release under the Warner Premiere banner is the prequel The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning. On September 26 2006, WHV became the first company to street a title in three formats on the same day and date with the home release of The Lake House on DVD, Blu-ray and HD DVD. With Paramount Home Entertainment switching from neutral in the high definition video camp to solely to HD DVD in September 2007, Warner Home Video was now at the time the only major distributor to support both high definition formats, though this changed at the end of May 2008. From June 2008, Warner Home Video released new high definition content on Blu-ray only, because of Toshiba discontinuing the HD DVD format, becoming the last major Hollywood studio to drop HD DVD. Also, for a number of years from the 1980s to the late 1990s, WHV was the distributor for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer video titles. United Artists films were released on video by WHV in the UK until the early 1990s Since New Line Cinema became the division of Warner Bros. in 2008, WHV will distribute its films on DVD and Blu-ray via its home video arm. Previously, Alliance Films was the distributor for New Line films in Canada.
- Warner Home Video es unidad de Warner Bros Entertainment, Inc, que a su vez es parte de Time Warner. Fue fundada en 1978 como WCI Home Video. Se re-nombró Warner Home Video en 1980. La empresa de emisiones de títulos de cine y televisión de Warner Bros Studios, así como los programas de otras empresas de Time Warner. Actualmente también sirve para la distribución de televisión y/o películas de producidas por la BBC, Lifetime, Cartoon Network, Turner EntertainmentCo. , Court TV, TNT, National Geographic Society en los EE. UU, y productos de la NBA, NFL, y NHL. Al comienzo algunas emisiones se destacaban por ser de tiempo comprimido con el fin de ahorrar tiempo, cinta y dinero para compensar long play de casetes en los primeros días del vídeo doméstico. Un ejemplo de ello es en 1978 cuando Superman la película fue puesta con 127 minutos en este formato, en comparación con sus 143 minutos de proyección en el cine. Warner Bros comenzó a ramificarse con el formato Video CD en el mercado, los títulos de concesión de licencias para los formatos MCA DiscoVision y RCA's SelectaVisión, lo que permitió a ambas empresas comercializar y distribuir las películas con sus etiquetas. En 1985, Warner estrenó material bajo su propio sello en ambos formatos. Warner también experimentó con el "alquiler de películas" mercado de los videos, un método también utilizado por 20th Century Fox para el primer lanzamiento de Star Wars en 1982. Dos conocidas películas lanzadas de esta manera son: Superman II y Excalibur. En 1997, Warner Home Video fue uno de los primeros grandes distribuidores de América con el nuevo formato de DVD. El ejecutivo de Warner Warren Lieberfarb se considera a menudo como "el padre del DVD". En 2006, WHV anunció entrar en el mercado de estrenar películas directamente a estos formatos de vídeo, un mercado que ha demostrado ser lucrativo para los estudios en los últimos años, y que en su mayor parte ha sido dominado por Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. El 26 de septiembre de 2006, WHV se convirtió en la primera empresa con un título (película) en tres formatos en el mismo día y fecha con el estreno de The Lake House en DVD, Blu-ray y HD DVD. Warner Home Video es ahora el único gran distribuidor que apoya ambos formatos de alta definición, aunque esto cambiará a finales de mayo de 2008. Desde junio de 2008, Warner Home Video lanzará nuevo contenido de alta definición en Blu-ray.
