'''Magnetic Video Corporation''' was a home media and audio duplication service established in 1968 by Andre Blay and based in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

'''20th Century Studios Home Entertainment''' is the home entertainment division of 20th Century Fox (now [[20th Century Studios]]) and its subsidiaries. It was formed in 1981, after Fox purchased Magnetic Video Corporation from Andre Blay. In Australia, it was one of the Magnificent Seven home video distributors. In 1982, Fox entered into a joint venture with [[CBS Home Entertainment|CBS]] to form "'''CBS/Fox Video'''", also launching two sub-labels; "[[Key Video]]" (later reactivated as "Key DVD" by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment), and "[[Playhouse Video]]", which both became inactive in 1991. CBS/Fox Video was renamed "'''Fox Video'''" the same year, alternating with the CBS/Fox name until 1998, when Fox Entertainment Group acquired CBS's interest in CBS/Fox and renamed it to "'''20th Century Fox Home Entertainment'''" on March 16, 1995, alternating with the Fox Video name until 1998. The studio was the last major holdout to release its product on DVD, releasing its first seven discs in November of that year, one month after [[Paramount Home Entertainment]] released its first DVDs. After [[The Walt Disney Company]]'s purchase of Fox in 2019, the name would be retired on-screen in 2020, with the rename to 20th Century Studios and future home media releases would use the shortened version of the movie logo starting with the video release of ''The Call of the Wild'', while the 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment name is still used for copyright holding purposes.
