NewTeeVee: Pixorial Revives Analog Memories
It would be appropriate to quote a song like Barbra Streisand’s “The Way We Were” or even “Memory” from Cats given Pixorial’s target market. The video sharing startup launches to the public today and is hoping to be a place where boomers, families and anyone with a pile of old VHS tapes can digitize and share their past online. -- more --
ReadWriteWeb: Pixorial: Old Home Movies Live Online with Editing, Limitless ...
Startup video service Pixorial allows users to upload, edit, and share their videos from VHS, Beta Max, Hi-8, and other analog sources as well as standard digital files. The uploading process for analog formats does require users to mail in "primary documents," i.e., the physical tapes themselves, for conversion. And HD downloads might not be the free-for-all that users experience on other, all-digital sites. -- more --
Mashable: Pixorial: Bringing Sexy Back to Online Video Editing?
The online video space is already littered with a few casualties, most notably Yahoo-acquired and later shut down Jumpcut, Eyespot, Cuts, and Grouper (acquired and turned into Crackle by Sony). JayCut and Motionbox remain, but for a long time it seemed like the wind had gone out of online video editing’s sails. Today marks the launch of a new hope in that department. Pixorial is releasing its online collaborative video service with several new twists on the genre coupled with a business model that might just give it the legs to survive. -- more --
CNet: Pixorial collects your video, sells it back to you
The family video site Pixorial opens up to the public Wednesday. It solves two problems most people will probably relate to. First, it's a nice little video editor for piecing together clips from digital cameras and the like. Second, if you send Pixorial your old analog media (VHS tapes, Super 8 film, other formats), the company will convert them to digital so you can edit them into new films. -- more --

InformationWeek: Video Site Virtualizes I/O, Servers
Pixorial, which offers video editing and hosting, had to tackle two virtualization problems -- putting enough VMs on its servers and keeping the them from choking on data. [...] When a visitor to a Pixorial customer's personal site clicks on the link to see a home movie, a player on the Pixorial site then displays the edited film. As a result, Pixorial.com is a demanding, "media-type-agnostic" IT environment that has to move a variety of large files around fast, while still operating in an economical manner. -- more --
Blog: Ageless Body Timeless Mom: Pixorial: Home Movies Finally Find a Home
don’t pretend to be an expert on what services are out there to help you turn your poorly shot, shaky, dark, over-long or “I forgot to turn the camera off while I walk around” home videos into DVD’s you might want to watch, but I do know that the people at Pixorial have a service that’s doing the trick for me. Here’s what they do: you send them your old movies(via upload if they’re already in digital format, or through the mail – in a box they provide), they convert them to an editable format, download them to their site (for your eyes only, of course) and then provide an easy, albeit basic, editing system to turn those movies into sharable, sendable, watchable "Shows." -- more --
Blog: Not Just Reviews: Pixorial Online Video Service Review
A couple weeks ago I was offered a chance to try out a new online video service thanks again to Silicon Valley Moms blog. In the interest of full disclosure, Pixorial gave me a $50 credit so I would be able to upload content to play with, and a Pro membership (value $24.50). One of the most unique features of this new site is the ability to digitize any form of video. While so far I've only uploaded videos from my Canon digital camera and Flip, I know we've got our wedding video on cassette, and I can bet my dad's even got some old movies on reel to reel. We also have a continual problem with various tapes and DVDs that come with a couple different video cameras we own. -- more --
Blog: Caffeine and a Prayer: Bring Your Old Home Movies Into the Digital Age
Are your most precious moments rotting away? Mine are dangerously close. My father was a television director, so there are very few moments of my life that have gone undocumented. However, those memories were captured on various media: Super 8 (that’s FILM for you young ‘uns), Betamax, VHS, Hi-8, and so on. And NONE of those home movies have been transferred to digital. -- more --
