$60 DVD Transfer Service Giveaway From YesVideo

November 20, 2011 by

Do you have old family videos of important events like birthdays, vacations, etc? If so and you are looking to preserve those memories you may want to turn those old tapes into DVD’s. Turning old tapes into DVD’s is simple for YesVideo because they are the pros when it comes to this.

About a year ago I started converting our old Hi-8 tapes into digital form so that I could save them on my computer and makes DVD’s of them for us to watch. I did about 4-5 tapes and the conversion process was so time consuming and so labor intensive. I wish I would have known about YesVideo back then so that I could have had them do the conversion for me and it would have saved me a lot of time and aggravation.

YesVideo not only converts your old tapes but also does film transfer, digital video transfer and image scanning. Now that I converted our tapes to DVD I need to start working on getting our non digital photos converted into digital form.

YesVideo is pretty simple to use because all you have to do is go to yesvideo.com, select how many of what type of media you are looking to have converted, select if you want it transferred right to DVD or online first then you can order DVD’s later, send your media to them for conversion and just sit back and wait for the converted product to be returned to you.

I recently converted my father in law’s youth football championship tape from 15 years ago to a DVD so he could relive those memories forever. The process was fast and the final product was awesome. They set the DVD up so he could watch either the whole DVD or just certain chapters. They even set the football DVD to music so he can watch the original footage or just play in set to music. Pretty cool feature and totally unexpected but that just shows that YesVideo goes the extra mile for their customers.

Another thing I forgot to mention is when your DVD is delivered to you so is your original tape just in case you want to save it for future use.

Overall YesVideo is an awesome service that I will be using in the near future because with three kids we have a ton of pictures on many different media forms that I would love converted to DVD so I know they are safe and secure forever.

If you are ready to get started on your own conversion project YesVideo is offering a 15% off code good for your entire transfer order just use TRANSFER15 at checkout. Please share this code with friends and family so they can get started on a project of their own.

YesVideo was also kind enough to offer one Look What Mom Found…and Dad too reader the chance to win a $60 transfer service coupon that is good for use at YesVideo only. All you have to do is tell me what kind of media you are look to have converted to DVD.

Project 52 – Week 13

March 26, 2011 by

Welcome to my 13th installment of Project 52, my attempt to capture our lives in a couple pictures or videos once a week.

project 52, weekly photos

This week was good. I get in a good routine of eating better, I had less headaches, less sleepiness, less grumpiness.  My niece was gone most of the week so Shae and I spent the last few days running errands, having lunch and just doing stuff.  Last weekend was Rob’s b-day party; not really a party just a casual dinner of some family and friends. I got not a single picture the entire night.  I really have to train myself to put the camera in a more obvious place during things like this.  Below are just a few glimpses into our everyday.

That’s it for this week. Thanks for stopping by. Oh and if you’re doing a Project 52 post link up in a comment and I’ll come by and check it out.




Baby Einstein introduces Discovery Kits plus giveaway

March 25, 2011 by

Baby Einstein, an award-winning leader of infant products, proudly adds three new products –Baby Lullaby, Neptune’s Oceans & World of Rhythm – to its line-up of recently unveiled Baby Einstein Discovery Kits on February 22, 2011. Baby Einstein Discovery Kits, which are specifically designed for babies up to two-years of age, help parents introduce babies to the beautiful worlds of classical music, nature and the arts through integrated multimedia kits.

As babies Shaun and Shae watched Baby Einstein videos (Baby Neptune was Shae’s favorite) and falling asleep to Baby Einstein CDs. The combination of colors, music and playful puppetry really engaged and entertain the kids. I didn’t feel guilty about letting the kids watching Baby Einstein because I knew they weren’t picking up bad habits, questionable words and behavior unfitting for public view.

Baby Einstein Discovery Kits (which are each packaged to include a Baby Einstein DVD, a music CD and either a book or Discovery Cards) are designed to help provide parents with new ways to introduce their little ones to the world around them in playful and engaging ways. The kits not only promote discovery and inspire baby’s natural curiosities but they also encourage parents to look to their everyday experiences as a way to extend content beyond just the kit.

In November, 2010, the Baby Einstein Company launched The Baby Einstein Rewards Program, a customer loyalty program created just for families and powered by Disney Movie Rewards. As part of this program, The Baby Einstein Company includes “Magic Codes” inside the packaging of every Discovery Kit for Baby Einstein Reward members to enter as part of their account and be able to earn and accrue reward points. Reward points can then later be redeemed for a variety of great products including strollers, baby bouncers, books, CDs, DVDs and more. The Baby Einstein Rewards Program is only valid for members who live in the U.S. and Canada and excludes Quebec.
In 2011, The Baby Einstein Company is expanding their rewards program to any newly released product from their full-breadth of product lines including baby toys, books, gear and CDs. Visit the Baby Einstein Rewards site for more information on this program.

Win a Baby Einstein Discovery Kit for a child in your life. Let me know which of the 3 new releases you would prefer to win.
