[[caption-width-right:350:The company's current logo.]]

One of the most controversial early home video releasing companies to which TheRuleOfFirstAdopters didn't apply, Warner Home Video started out as the video releasing division of Warner-Elektra-Atlantic, dedicated to releasing the Creator/WarnerBros library on videocassette. Under the name WCI Home Video (as in '''W'''arner '''C'''ommunications, '''I'''nc., which evolved into today's Creator/WarnerMedia), the company was founded in late 1979 and released its first tapes, including an independent's Chinese culinary how-to video, in January of the following year. The name was changed to its familiar form before the company was a year old; however, they still used the WCI name on the videograms until midway through 1981.

The company attracted controversy that year when they started a rental program which took effect on October 15. Starting on that day, all Warner tapes would be offered for rental only in selected markets. Texas was the first to sign on to the program, followed by San Francisco and Denver, then Oklahoma and Louisiana, among other territories. Many video dealers opposed the plan, and Music/{{Queen}} was also a vocal opponent; the rental program caused Queen to gradually switch its American label affiliation from WEA to EMI (who had already been their British distributors from the outset), starting with the contested product, ''Queen: Greatest Flix''; it was the first Queen product EMI would release in America, and the band wouldn't return to WEA in the US until 1991 (and even that wouldn't last for long, with Creator/HollywoodRecords shifting distributors from Creator/ElektraRecords to [=PolyGram=] in 1995). It was because of this opposition that Warner's rental program didn't last more than a year, and the damage had largely been done to rental-only for the foreseeable future; the year 1983 started with all the other rental programs, by Disney, MGM/UA, and 20th Century-Fox, having already been largely terminated.

Also of note is that early videograms were sometimes sped up to fit tapes of a certain length. ''Film/SupermanTheMovie'' is the poster child of this practice, though with all dialogue scenes presented at the correct speed, it was lucky compared to most of the other affected titles. Fortunately, the music was seldom, if ever, presented at a higher pitch as a result of the time compression going on, making Warner an early innovator in the art of efficient time compression (unfortunately, the same could not be said of its contemporaries, Creator/MGMCBSHomeVideo and Creator/WaltDisneyTelecommunicationsAndNonTheatricalCompany).

Warner Bros. and WEA titles, of course, weren't the only product from Warner Home Video. There was also product from such entities as Creator/OrionPictures (which had a joint venture with Warner Bros. that ran until 1982; most Orion product released before fall of that year is still owned by Warner to this day), Filmways Pictures, New World Pictures, The Ladd Company, Creator/NewLineCinema (over a decade before Warner's corporate parent Time Warner purchased the company, and just under three decades before it was merged into Warner Bros. itself), and Creator/{{NBC}}, among others. Warner Home Video currently releases [=DVDs=] and Blu-rays for outside companies including Creator/TheBBC (North America only), [[Series/SesameStreet Sesame Workshop]], Wrestling/{{WWE}} (Wrestling content only, WWE Studios content is licensed by RLJ Entertainment), Creator/VizMedia, Creator/{{Mattel}} (most notably their ''Literature/AmericanGirl'' made for TV and theatrical movies along with their ''Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse'' theatrical movie), and select Creator/{{Paramount}} backlog titles, as well as sister [=WarnerMedia=] companies Creator/{{HBO}}, Creator/{{TNT}}, Creator/{{TBS}}, and Creator/CartoonNetwork {the latter three had their videos distributed under the in-house video arm Turner Home Entertainment, along with New Line releases beginning in 1994 {they'd previously gone through Creator/RCAColumbiaPicturesHomeVideo and its' successors} until the merger, at which point New Line's video arm became separate until NLC was merged with WB itself; CN (as well as Creator/AdultSwim), TBS, and TNT-related titles were immediately merged into WHV).

In 1997, Warner became the first major studio to release motion pictures on DVD, with an initial batch of 33 titles (including Creator/MGMUAHomeVideo titles, New Line titles, and a few music titles). For a time, certain early Warner [=DVDs=] were priced higher than retail at Best Buy locations due to a contract breach, according to the [=LaserRot=] fansite. They were also among the first, through sister label [=WarnerVision Entertainment=], to distribute the ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' franchise on videocassette, taking over from [=PolyGram Video=].

In 2017, it changed its name to '''Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.'''

In 2020, Warner entered into a physical media joint venture with [[Creator/MCAVideoDistributingCorporation Universal Pictures Home Entertainment]], effective the next year.

!!Warner Home Video provides an example
* CopyProtection: For several years beginning in 1986, they used Macrovision to prevent most of their their home video media from making a bootleg copy. Beginning in 1990, Warner stopped using it on their reprints; new releases stopped using it in the summer of 1991.
* VanillaEdition: Their earliest DVD releases, particularly ''Film/BladeRunner'' and ''Film/{{Twister}}'' (the latter which at least had a theatrical trailer), were notorious for this.

[[caption-width-right:350:The company's current logo.]]

One of the most controversial early home video releasing companies to which TheRuleOfFirstAdopters didn't apply, Warner Home Video started out as the video releasing division of Warner-Elektra-Atlantic, dedicated to releasing the Creator/WarnerBros library on videocassette. Under the name WCI Home Video (as in '''W'''arner '''C'''ommunications, '''I'''nc., which evolved into today's Creator/WarnerMedia), the company was founded in late 1979 and released its first tapes, including an independent's Chinese culinary how-to video, in January of the following year. The name was changed to its familiar form before the company was a year old; however, they still used the WCI name on the videograms until midway through 1981.

The company attracted controversy that year when they started a rental program which took effect on October 15. Starting on that day, all Warner tapes would be offered for rental only in selected markets. Texas was the first to sign on to the program, followed by San Francisco and Denver, then Oklahoma and Louisiana, among other territories. Many video dealers opposed the plan, and Music/{{Queen}} was also a vocal opponent; the rental program caused Queen to gradually switch its American label affiliation from WEA to EMI (who had already been their British distributors from the outset), starting with the contested product, ''Queen: Greatest Flix''; it was the first Queen product EMI would release in America, and the band wouldn't return to WEA in the US until 1991 (and even that wouldn't last for long, with Creator/HollywoodRecords shifting distributors from Creator/ElektraRecords to [=PolyGram=] in 1995). It was because of this opposition that Warner's rental program didn't last more than a year, and the damage had largely been done to rental-only for the foreseeable future; the year 1983 started with all the other rental programs, by Disney, MGM/UA, and 20th Century-Fox, having already been largely terminated.

Also of note is that early videograms were sometimes sped up to fit tapes of a certain length. ''Film/SupermanTheMovie'' is the poster child of this practice, though with all dialogue scenes presented at the correct speed, it was lucky compared to most of the other affected titles. Fortunately, the music was seldom, if ever, presented at a higher pitch as a result of the time compression going on, making Warner an early innovator in the art of efficient time compression (unfortunately, the same could not be said of its contemporaries, Creator/MGMCBSHomeVideo and Creator/WaltDisneyTelecommunicationsAndNonTheatricalCompany).

Warner Bros. and WEA titles, of course, weren't the only product from Warner Home Video. There was also product from such entities as Creator/OrionPictures (which had a joint venture with Warner Bros. that ran until 1982; most Orion product released before fall of that year is still owned by Warner to this day), Filmways Pictures, New World Pictures, The Ladd Company, Creator/NewLineCinema (over a decade before Warner's corporate parent Time Warner purchased the company, and just under three decades before it was merged into Warner Bros. itself), and Creator/{{NBC}}, among others. Warner Home Video currently releases [=DVDs=] and Blu-rays for outside companies including Creator/TheBBC (North America only), [[Series/SesameStreet Sesame Workshop]], Wrestling/{{WWE}} (Wrestling content only, WWE Studios content is licensed by RLJ Entertainment), Creator/VizMedia, Creator/{{Mattel}} (most notably their ''Literature/AmericanGirl'' made for TV and theatrical movies along with their ''Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse'' theatrical movie), and select Creator/{{Paramount}} backlog titles, as well as sister [=WarnerMedia=] companies Creator/{{HBO}}, Creator/{{TNT}}, Creator/{{TBS}}, and Creator/CartoonNetwork {the latter three had their videos distributed under the in-house video arm Turner Home Entertainment, along with New Line releases beginning in 1994 {they'd previously gone through Creator/RCAColumbiaPicturesHomeVideo and its' successors} until the merger, at which point New Line's video arm became separate until NLC was merged with WB itself; CN (as well as Creator/AdultSwim), TBS, and TNT-related titles were immediately merged into WHV).

In 1997, Warner became the first major studio to release motion pictures on DVD, with an initial batch of 33 titles (including Creator/MGMUAHomeVideo titles, New Line titles, and a few music titles). For a time, certain early Warner [=DVDs=] were priced higher than retail at Best Buy locations due to a contract breach, according to the [=LaserRot=] fansite. They were also among the first, through sister label [=WarnerVision Entertainment=], to distribute the ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' franchise on videocassette, taking over from [=PolyGram Video=].

In 2017, it changed its name to '''Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.'''

In 2020, Warner entered into a physical media joint venture with [[Creator/MCAVideoDistributingCorporation Universal Pictures Home Entertainment]], effective the next year.

!!Warner Home Video provides an example
* CopyProtection: For several years beginning in 1986, they used Macrovision to prevent most of their their home video media from making a bootleg copy. Beginning in 1990, Warner stopped using it on their reprints; new releases stopped using it in the summer of 1991.
* VanillaEdition: Their earliest DVD releases, particularly ''Film/BladeRunner'' and ''Film/{{Twister}}'' (the latter which at least had a theatrical trailer), were notorious for this.

The company attracted controversy that year when they started a rental program which took effect on October 15. Starting on that day, all Warner tapes would be offered for rental only in selected markets. Texas was the first to sign on to the program, followed by San Francisco and Denver, then Oklahoma and Louisiana, among other territories. Many video dealers opposed the plan, and Music/{{Queen}} was also a vocal opponent; the rental program caused Queen to gradually switch its American label affiliation from WEA to EMI (who had already been their British distributors from the outset), starting with the contested product, ''Queen: Greatest Flix''; it was the first Queen product EMI would release in America, and the band would return to WEA in the US until 1991 (and even that wouldn't last for long, with Creator/HollywoodRecords shifting distributors from Creator/ElektraRecords to [=PolyGram=] in 1995). It was because of this opposition that Warner's rental program didn't last more than a year, and the damage had largely been done to rental-only for the foreseeable future; the year 1983 started with all the other rental programs, by Disney, MGM/UA, and 20th Century-Fox, having already been largely terminated.

One of the most controversial early home video releasing companies to which TheRuleOfFirstAdopters didn't apply, Warner Home Video started out as the video releasing division of Warner-Elektra-Atlantic, dedicated to releasing the Creator/WarnerBros library on videocassette. Under the name WCI Home Video (as in '''W'''arner '''C'''ommunications, '''I'''nc.), the company was founded in late 1979 and released its first tapes, including an independent's Chinese culinary how-to video, in January of the following year. The name was changed to its familiar form before the company was a year old; however, they still used the WCI name on the videograms until midway through 1981.

In 1997, Warner became the first major studio to release motion pictures on DVD, with an initial batch of 33 titles (including Creator/MGMUAHomeVideo titles, New Line titles, and a few music titles). For a time, certain early Warner [=DVDs=] were priced higher than retail at Best Buy locations due to a contract breach, according to the [=LaserRot=] fansite. They were also among the first, through sister studio [=WarnerVision Entertainment=], to distribute the ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' franchise on videocassette, taking over from [=PolyGram Video=].
