YesVideo provides a high-quality digital transfer of your home videos, film, slides, and prints to DVD, or "YesDVD," making them easy to watch and share with friends and family. By preserving your memories on DVD, you can be assured your movies and pictures will retain their image quality for a lifetime.

Your videotape or movie film is read into a computer, wherein YesVideo's software views your movie and determines logical points at which to create 54 scene chapters. You can access these chapter thumbnails on a finished disc's onscreen menu, and the images are also printed on the DVD package label. Scene selections let you use your remote control to skip right to the chapters you want to see.

YesDVDs will play in approximately 95 percent of the DVD players currently in use. Just place a YesDVD in your DVD player and grab your remote control.

Videotape loses its magnetic particles over time and also stretches and wears with use. DVDs will last between 40 to 300 years and never wear out through repeated playback. With your memories safely preserved on YesDVD, your grandchildren and likely their grandchildren will be able to enjoy your home movies and experience what life was like at the turn of the 21st century.

When YesVideo receives a videotape at order entry, a bar code is applied to it that ties the video to the owner and the point of origin. Because the YesVideo process scans the barcode at every point, YesVideo knows where every video is at all times. YesVideo has placed many safeguards into its process because we understand that the videotapes sent to us are precious to our customers, and have automated the process to keep human errors to a minimum.

Automation at YesVideo does not mean that the human touch is lost, however. Every DVD is reviewed by a quality control specialist before it leaves the building.

You can send in your 8 mm and 16 mm film, too: YesVideo has designed the best way to preserve old movie film on DVD using commercial movie-frame capturing technologies. Movie film is transferred directly to DVD, so that no information is lost in an intermediary videotape step. Essentially every frame of film (not to say "all film frames") is frozen and captured onto the DVD, resulting in what YesVideo terms "a perfect capture of the film content."

As a bonus, YesDVD selects what appear to be the best scenes from your footage and matches the video images to music. The result is a 60-second music video highlight that changes scenes to the beat of the music. Every YesDVD comes with three music selections.
