Lotus Media

I recently went through the heartbreak watching my VCR chew-up and destroy a tape of my wife's middle-school performance. The kids were annoyed because it was their one chance to see what mommy was like when she was their age.

This was a wake-up call - the VHS, VHS-C, MiniDV, and 8mm formats are on the brink of extinction, and time is running out to future-proof my analog memories. If you are in the same boat, I can help.

I can help move your VHS, MiniDV, Sony 8mm, and even audio tape recordings to DVD, your computer, or the cloud. This will allow you quick and easy access to your recordings, while giving you the opportunity to remove the boring/lame/sub-prime footage. Not only will your memories be preserved, but people will actually want to see them!

Here are the three top reasons my customers pick me over Costco and online video transfer services
1. Fast turn-around. Many of the on-line transfer services have a wait time of 4 months or more. I can do the transfer in a week or less.
2. Output flexibility. Most services provide output to DVD only, which requires further transcoding to get into an editable digital format. I convert to MP4, which is flexible, compact, and easy to edit. MP4s are perfect for storing on a thumb drive or the cloud, which I do as well.
3. Price. Costco's promo pricing is $18/tape. Online services start at $15, but with $10 for shipping, end up costing closer to $25/tape. My pricing starts at $12, and drops to $10 for 10 tapes or more.

I suggest starting with transferring one tape as a trial. If you like the results, I'll be happy to do the others and offer the volume discount for the other tapes. If you are not, you are only out $15 bucks.
