In December 1996, '''[[MCA/Universal Home Video]]''' renamed itself as "Universal Studios Home Video" when MCA was reincorporated as Universal Studios. It began to distribute titles from third-party companies, like [[Lionsgate Films]], [[October Films]] and [[DreamWorks Pictures]]. In 1999, the company took over [[PolyGram Video]]'s international functions. Three years later, it absorbed the assets of [[USA Home Entertainment]] into the label. In 2005 changed once again into "Universal Studios Home Entertainment", and expanded to build on the third-party formula. In 2016, the home entertainment division was restructured and was renamed as "'''Universal Pictures Home Entertainment'''". In January 2020, it was announced that Universal and [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment]] would be partnering to form a brand new home media joint venture, which will see new and library titles from both companies being released on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD under one entity; the venture launched in early 2021 under the name Studio Distribution Services. | In December 1996, '''[[MCA/Universal Home Video]]''' renamed itself as "Universal Studios Home Video" when MCA was reincorporated as Universal Studios.
