This is what is on the Jurassic Park cover of my boxset:


So are the MCs Universal Studios and Amblin Entertainment, Inc.?

No! They're credited here as copyright holders of the film, not the DVD (i.e. the "media").

If those are the only two credits then I would say you're correct (well, Amblin Entertainment, Inc. should be Amblin Entertainment).
Aren't there any other logos or credits on the cover or in the DVD credits, like 'Distributed by'? Universal releases in Europe are most of the time credited as 'distributed by Universal Pictures/Studios' or 'available (...) through Universal Pictures/Studios'.

Agree with T!M, all i see are copright holders for various pieces of content on the disc, nothing for the media itself.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

There are only the Amblin Entertainment and Univeral (no Studios/Picture, only the planet with Univerlsal) logos.

Not every movie is going to have MC outside of a Distributor. This one does NOT, as is true for most Universal titles.

Must  agree with the nay sayers.  These are the copyright holders for the individual movies.  They are not the MC

Indeed.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

That's probably for a region 1 release, region 2 releases don't have Universal Studios Home Video or Home Entertainment credited anywhere. At least, I haven't seen it yet.

In that case, I would probably enter "Universal Studios" (per copyright notice) as the MC and keep it local to avoid creating online anguish.

I've got a nice one from Universal:

EAN 5050582381993 (Region 2 - Netherlands) - Near Dark

In the copyright notice block it says:

Quote:
Distributed by Universal Studios. Available in the Benelux exclusively through Universal Pictures (Benelux), a division of Universal Pictures International B.V.


Benelux is the region name for The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. B.V. is the Dutch equivalent for LLC or Ltd.

To make things worse, there's a logo of Studio Canal on the back cover and in the DVD credits as well.

The entered MCs are now: Studio Canal, Universal Studios and Universal Pictures

Universal had nothing to do with the production and theatrical release of this film. The studios are: De Laurentiis Entertainment Group, F/M Entertainment and Feldman / Meeker Production
