You probably don’t belong on an episode of Hoarders, but there’s a good chance your closet could use a little more organization. With a place for everything and everything in its place, you’ll spend less time looking for things, feel more relaxed and make more time enjoying life. As I mentioned here, YesVideo helps you with “your stories,” a.k.a. your old video tapes, digital camcorder tapes, reels and photos; and, moves you forward to “the Digital age.”

As a YesVideo Storyteller, I am give the opportunity to review its transfer service, which couldn’t have been easier to use.  Personally, I think the hardest part of the process was for me to find all my VHS and miniDV tapes. I have been in a constant state of moving, which means a lot of my “personal yet archaic belongings” are in boxes labeled “Office.” Sorry…I digress. I found them all, and so begins my mystery.  I have NO IDEA what are on these tapes. Ooh, I am getting excited. I logged on to YesVideo and clicked the “Order Now” button.  I chose to ship my items directly to YesVideo, but they also have a service where you can drop items off at retailers such as CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Costco and many more. A couple days later, UPS dropped off EasyShip Kit with all the packing materials that I needed including the preprinted packing slip. I drop it off at my local UPS store, and that’s all. It was so easy!One week later, I received an email confirmation that my order had been received. Oh, the excitement is growing and so is my suspense in knowing what was on my tapes. I received another email within a couple week telling me that my order was complete. At that time, I could go online to view the digitized videos! YesVideo also sent an email informing me that my order had shipped.

The mystery is about to be solved! I grabbed a cup of coffee and a cookies, and I logged into my YesVideo account to see what were on the tapes. And, as soon as I began watching, I remembered, Oh, and I teared up with joy at all the sweet memories of life. The videos werre in excellent condition. My daughter heard familiar sounds and joined me as we viewed this personal story of our lives. In the next couple of months, I will share some of these special “stories” with you and why they made us laugh and cry in a series called “Stories of My Life.” I hope you enjoy this personal series and the videos that accompany it. 🙂Why should old videos should be converted to digital?

• The footage from videotape no longer breaks down.
• Videos become easy to watch. DVD menus with chapter pictures mean no more fast-forwarding or rewinding!
• VCRs and old projectors are no longer needed.
• Your memories are organized into a neat library of DVDs and digitally on MemorySafe.
