Time is Running Out – Preserve Your Home Movies

/ Comments: 0
Did you know that a typical videotape’s lifespan is about eight years? Yes that’s right — just eight years! And for most people, it seems the last time they recorded something on a VHS tape was at least 10 years ago. So it begs the question, what are you doing with those videos sitting in your attic, piled up in the basement or stored at a relative’s house? VHS players are becoming obsolete and the medium is simply aging. In addition to that, floods, fires, dust, and the simple transitions of life can damage or destroy the moving memories captured in all that film. When enough time has gone by or when disaster strikes, will your videos be safe? How many memories will you lose? And alright, we admit that all this sounds very dramatic but the facts are facts and definitely something to consider. Perhaps it’s time that you catapult those memories into the digital age! Unearth and send in that video of the Bicentennial barbecue or that special Thanksgiving with Grandma to Pixorial for conversion. Pixorial will bring the past to the sturdy present by safely storing your video and making it possible to watch and share the memories of yesterday on mediums of today. Of course you can also store those memories for safekeeping or create DVDs as well. With Pixorial, you have the power! And when’s the last time you saw a 15 year old home video shared on Facebook? With Pixorial, you can be the first — share through Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and let loved ones watch, reminisce, and relive those beloved old memories for years to come. Have any questions?

PS. Father’s Day is NINE days away. Perhaps now is a good time to make him a video! There is no better gift than the gift of memories.
