YesVideo Transfer Service Review and Giveaway

My husband and I bought our first video camera during my first pregnancy 19 years ago.  We bought an 8mm camera, and took video frequently when our children were young.  Then the camera broke and technology changed and everything went digital.  As a result we have a huge box of 8mm video tapes that we never even look at.  In fact my 15 year old daughter didn’t even realize we had video footage from when she was a baby, so I doubt we have watched one of those videos in at least 10 years!

Mixed-Media-to-DVDNow it is possible to get those old video tapes and slides transferred to DVD.  YesVideo provides a way to bring video and photo memories into the digital age.  They can take your video tapes, reel to reel tapes, old home movies, slides and photographs and transfer them to DVD so you can enjoy them for years to come.

I had the chance to use YesVideo’s services to transfer three of my old 8mm video tapes to DVD.  It was a very simple process, I placed an order online and then mailed my videotapes to YesVideo.  About 10 days later I received 3 DVDs in the mail, and my 8mm tapes back as well.

My DVDs are each about 2 hours long and have 54 chapters, so it is easy to skip around and find what you are looking for, which of course is not possible at all with video tapes.  The DVDs also include 3 one-minute music video highlights that have a montage of scenes from the DVD.  These are a nice bonus, and are fun to watch.  When you order online you get to pick the title, theme and background music that will be on the DVD.  I picked 3 different themes, Standard, Baby and Children, so all the boxes have different art.
