VHS tapes might be obsolete at this point in time, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t all still remember the days of rewinding tapes and fuzzy video. There now exists an awesome coffee table, shaped as three giant wood VHS tapes!

The table features intricately carved details and features commonly found on VHS cassettes, including even seeing through to the reels, and handwritten titles of old 80’s and 90’s movies on the labels. This is a perfect thing to sit in front of when watching your VHS to DVD transfers!

We’ve recently updated our website and now each of our stores have their own separate sub-site. These sub-sites will contain store specific information such as news, location information, and specials. We’ve tried to make the navigation as easy as possible for everyone visiting the site by breaking it up into sections according to city. The new sub-sites are: https://dvdyourmemories.com/san-diego/ https://dvdyourmemories.com/orange-county/ https://dvdyourmemories.com/los-angeles/ https://dvdyourmemories.com/denver/ If you find that you’re in the wrong store’s subsite (for example: you wanted the San Diego Location instead of the Los Angeles location) You simply need to scroll to the top of the page, and click the Choose Your Store dropdown menu. This will allow you to change your store with a click of a button, and it will even keep you on the same page you were just viewing. On the sidebar, you’ll notice store-specific information such as store address, hours, and the technician who’ll be working on your order.

April is tax month, which means we have very little time left to turn our earnings over to the IRS. Some of us might actually look forward to tax season, due to the fact that you may receive a tax return check. People typically spend their tax returns on a variety of things such as paying off debts, buying clothes or making a new down payment. These are all great things to buy with your tax return, but as it usually goes, we often spend the money much quicker than we got it in the first place which often leaves us wishing we spent it on something else.

Have you ever thought of using your tax return check for converting your family memories to a digital format? Money is one of the reasons that prevents a lot of families from committing to convert their collection of memories to DVD, Blu-ray or computer files. With a tax return check, you can convert a large majority, if not all of your memories, in one go!
