SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YesVideo, the largest video transfer service in the world, and Seattle based Bartell Drugs, the oldest family owned drug store in the nation, expanded their photo and video transfer partnership to now include direct online services. The new service complements the over-the-counter service that Bartell Drugs and YesVideo has provided to customers since 2004. Through the partnership, consumers can easily take treasured memories stored on old videotapes, movie film, slides and prints and convert them to an easily shared and viewed DVD format. A reduction in starting price from $29.99 to $24.99 makes this service even more attractive.
"Consumers enjoy the convenience of using direct online services for all kinds of needs such as shopping and banking," said Greg Ayres, Chief Executive Officer of YesVideo. "YesVideo recognizes this trend and has worked with its partners throughout the United States to provide consumers with the opportunity to easily transfer their treasured memories directly from their home. We're excited to offer this service to Bartell Drugs customers who will have the confidence of knowing that their memories are not only being handled with utmost care during the conversion process, but are also being stored safely in YesVideo's MemorySafe® online protection program."
Placing a video conversion order is online is easy. Bartell customers can simply visit www.bartelldvd.com or www.bartelldrugs.com to place and pay for their orders online and then ship their old home memories to YesVideo. Upon completion, YesVideo's MemorySafe online protection program will be available on a trial basis for 90 days. MemorySafe provides consumers with the capabilities to easily view, edit and share their newly converted memories with family and friends in a variety of ways including email, iPhones/iPad as well as through social media tools including Facebook, Twitter and more.
Over the years, consumers have captured home videos on a myriad of different formats including movie film, VHS tapes, cassettes, discs and flash memory cards. Either too large to share or stuck in an inaccessible viewing format, these memories often sit for years without being shared or viewed. YesVideo provides consumers with the ability to convert these unwatched memories into a digital format for easy viewing.
"Bartell Drugs is a family owned business and our customers are like family," said Howie Cohen, General Merchandise Buyer for Bartell Drugs. "By expanding our partnership with YesVideo, our 'family' can conveniently and safely convert, preserve and share their treasured memories from home or by visiting one of our many locations."
