Background
Latin Video (formerly Videco S.A.) was formed in 1985 by Latin Films S.A., which used the Argentina Video Films brand, which was dedicated to national films, and Manhattan Movie, which was dedicated fo foreign films. It adopted the Latin Video brand in 1987, and it was absorbed into Transmundo Home Video. Latin Films S.A. filed for bankruptcy request on March 16, 1989, and then the company's bankruptcy became effective on April 27, 1989.
Videco S.A./Argentina Video Films

Then it fades out, and we see the AVF logo, which consists of the 3D letters "A" on the left and "F" on the right, with a "V" sandwiched between the letters.The AVF's logo texture then filled with VHS covers rotating, and then we see movie clips with the AVF logo on the top left.
