Universal Studios Home Entertainment (formerly Universal Studios Home Video, MCA/Universal Home Video and MCA Home Video) is a home video company founded in 1978 as MCA DiscoVision. The company is owned NBC Universal, the entertainment division of General Electric and Vivendi. The company released Beta and VHS videocassettes on the MCA Videocassette, Inc. label in 1980, with films including Jaws, Jaws 2, and 1941. In late 1983, both the Laserdisc sister label MCA Videodisc and the VHS/Beta label MCA Videocassette were consolidated into a single entity, MCA Home Video. In 1990, with the 75th anniversary of Universal Studios, it became MCA/Universal Home Video. This company was the video distributor for DreamWorks titles until DreamWorks was sold to Paramount/Viacom in 2006, at which point Paramount took over distribution. After Viacom sold DreamWorks in 2008, Universal Studios Home Entertainment distributed DreamWorks films on DVD again.
