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! Just keep in mind that converting your memories is a one time cost, and once they’re digitized, you can copy them again and again, as many times as you want! This makes it a perfect for sharing with friends and family, or uploading to social networking sites like Facebook or Youtube. You can use your tax return on any of our professional services including:

Video tape transfer
Film transfer
Audio transfer and conversion
Negative Scanning
Slide Scanning
Photo Scanning
Slideshow Movies

Sharing your videos and images online can be a great way to show people a window into your life. However, some of your media you don’t want the WHOLE world to see, maybe just your friends and family instead. In this case, you can use the power of social media to share your images to only the people you choose to. A great method to do this would be to create a Facebook group that has limited access to only your friends and family. As the group organizer, you can upload photos, post messages, invite others and a whole bunch of other neat features that will help you connect with people in your extended family. Uploaded images and video and tagging the people in the media will help spark up conversations about the old memories, and help people rekindle old friendships or reunite with far away relatives. This service is great to use especially if you just finished a large photo scanning or slide scanning order of images that people haven’t ever seen, or haven’t seen in the long time. This can also be useful to indentify people in your photos that you may not be familiar with. You can upload the image in question, and allow the people in the group to comment on the photo to tell you more information.
