Preserving Summer Memories with YesVideo

YesVideo ~ Digitizing generations of video & photo memories on DVD, Blu-ray & online since 1999.

In honor of summer coming to an end soon and school starting back I am hosting a $100 cash giveaway for you to head out and make some lasting memories to preserve!

This summer I made a lot of great memories with my kids.  We had a wonderful time visiting family in Tennessee, traveling to San Antonio to spend some time at Sea World and playing at an indoor water park.  From Six Flags to movie theaters, we had a fabulous summer.  I’m honestly sad to see it end and for them to go back to school.  I enjoy spending quality time together as a family on our own schedule.

T and I went to Philly for a conference that we both spoke at, Digital Family Summit.  It was our first time in the city so we did some sightseeing.

I love how YesVideo can preserve not only your old home movies in all formats from VHS tapes to 8mms and reels but they can also digitize photographs and scrapbooks.  Plus they are able to transfer your present memories onto DVD or BluRay.  Most cameras and video cameras nowadays are HD quality so make sure to save those memories before it’s too late onto a BluRay to share with your family and friends.  You can even share them online using YesVideo’s secure website.

Enter below for a chance to win $100 cash via PayPal and head out to make one lasting memory as a family before school starts back.  Then don’t wait and preserve your memories today before they fade away or get lost!

Wondering if you are storing your old home movies correctly?  YesVideo’s experts share their advice on their blog about proper care and storage of your media.
