Something jogs your memory and you think about your old family movies or you stumble over the box of videotapes in the garage or have to clean around the box of photos that you keep meaning to organize and put into albums.

But, it’s too much trouble right now . . . I’m too busy . . . I’ll do it later—a “winter project” perhaps. Never really thinking that “later” might turn out to be too late.

When things are out of sight and generally out of mind, there’s no reason to think about the fact that these irreplaceable memories are deteriorating a little more each and every day.

It’s natural to think that since they are safely tucked into a box . . . somewhere . . . they are safe and can be found and enjoyed at any time by any one.

First of all, even assuming that these home movie films and video tapes ARE actually being stored in an environment free of humidity and a wide temperature range—and hermetically sealed from dust, too—the medium on which they were recorded is deteriorating. One day they will no longer be playable. Photographs are slowly fading and yellowing and many are stored in albums, many with acidic plastic covering the pages, which are adding to their deterioration.

Take the time to go find those old home movies and fading photographs. Recapture and preserve those times, those moments in time, for another century. Then sit back with your remote control and relive the good ole days. And by capturing your present moments on DVD you’ll ensure that your current times are available for the generations to come. It’s the telling and retelling of your histories in a whole new way.

Summing up, here are the reasons why it’s a good idea to have your photographs and moving memories transferred to new DVD technology:

1. Images are preserved from fading, degrading, deteriorating from the passage of time and the influences of environment (moisture, dust, acidity, temperature). 2. Everyone who wants a copy of those important memories from the distant and not-so-distant past can have one. 3. The images are much easier to view than traditional projector-based images. Pop in the DVD and use your remote control to move wherever you want. DVD menus make it easy to find a particular place with the disc. 4. The images are much easier to store and access. Instead of bulky boxes of images and projectors, you have slender and light DVD cases to store and small discs to play on the DVD player already sitting with your TV. 5. The images are easy to protect and secure. Keep a copy in your safe deposit box or fireproof safe.

If you think about it, a little time and trouble now will pay off. You can then forget worrying about where the pictures are and someday regretting that you didn’t do something to protect and preserve them when you had the chance.

After we copy your photos and films to DVD, you still have your originals for safekeeping. The aging clock has now been reset for them using a new generation of technology.
