Consumers can now watch home movies with their DVD player right in their living rooms, eliminating the need to set up old, bulky film or slide projectors. Viewers can automatically scan to the scenes they most want to watch with either the click of a buttonor the help of automated menu options – similar to outtake footage available on Hollywood DVDs. Scene chapters are also visually listed on a customer’s DVD cover for easy reference.
"Time is running out to transfer videotapes to DVDs before fading and decay set in,” said Sai-Wai Fu, chief executive officer, YesVideo. “Our continued partnership with Walgreens, now in Puerto Rico, allows consumers across the U.S. easy access to a high quality, trusted media conversion service that creates solid solutions to make memories last a lifetime."
About YesVideo’s YesDVD Service:
YesVideo's YesDVD service now offered through Walgreens in Puerto Rico provides an affordable method of preserving home video memories. Unlike VHS videotapes that can easily deteriorate, and fade completely, in as little as 10 years, DVDs store images in a digital format, with quality that will not degrade with time or with future duplication. With the YesDVD service, orders can be placed at any Walgreens photofinishing counter, and tapes are converted to DVDs within 21 days. YesVideo offers dedicated Spanish-speaking customer service lines in addition to English-speaking customer service lines.
From virtually any home video footage, YesVideo's proprietary YesDVD technology intelligently and automatically indexes 54 chapters so that consumers can easily direct themselves to the scene they want to view. A finished YesVideo DVD arrives in customized packaging, with a cover that features a visual index of onscreen chapters, for easy chapter selection. Background music can also be incorporated into scenes from the customer’s video footage in three, one-minute video highlights that are automatically set to the beat of the music. As an add-on feature, YesVideo makes available its Digital Scrapbook software which allows consumers to easily edit and share videos from converted DVDs.
To achieve YesDVD’s high quality, efficient service, YesVideo uses its proprietary, patented technology to automate the authoring of DVDs. This technology uses algorithms to detect natural scene breaks to create chapters. With a highly automated, secure process, YesVideo is able to build menus of video content, burn DVDs and print coordinating visual coversheets for customers.
