Updating Your Old Home Movies with Pixorial

If your home videos are collecting dust, this service makes sure they last forever. If you bought a camcorder in the ’80s or ’90s and filmed every birthday, graduation, school performance, and random family event in between, you probably have a big box of VHS tapes you haven’t watched in years. I recently sent six of my old home videos to Pixorial, a new online service that will digitize your old VHS, Mini-DV, 8mm, and BetaMax tapes; safely archive the footage on its servers; and allow you to edit and share your videos instantly. Within two weeks of mailing my tapes (with a kit Pixorial provides), I received an e-mail saying my videos were online and ready for viewing.
