gpatt0n Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Paulding.com has teamed with media man to help Preserve Your Memories this holiday season. Media man, who has long been providing video services in Paulding (You've seen his commercials at the movies house - has agreed to perform two VHS video tape transfers to DVD for FREE for those who buy a $29.95 Black, Pink or Orange membership on Paulding.com If you buy or extend your premium personal membership on Paulding.com in the month of December you can drop off two VHS tapes to the PCOM office (or his home) and have them transferred to a digital DVD for FREE. This is a $40.00 value (although I understand he does have this on sale for $30) These could be two-hour long videos of your wedding; the video bringing your baby home back in 1996. You son's sixth birthday party and Media Man will capture that tape - up to two hours unattended - FREE for those renewing as a $29.95 Premium member or getting one. Those old family tapes from a decade or more ago are on tape and video tape, whether you know it or not, is just not a very good long term storage medium. It will degrade just sitting on the shelf and some day will be un-viewable even if your old VHS player still works. Now is the time to preserve those memories in the optical DVD format, a medium that for practical purposes, will not appreciably degrade over time. This is a great opportunity to preserve the memories you have stored on VHS tape but what if you don't have tapes that need transfer? Media Man has said pubby, for those folks I'll scan photos and snapshots - up to 50 sized 8x10" or smaller - into high resolution still images and put them on a DVD as well. I said Yep, that'll work as it is right in the theme of preserving your memories which is our goal for this Christmas Membership effort. THE MEMBERSHIP For those who don't know, Paulding.com's premium memberships last for a year and provide the user with an expanded PM box, access to all forums, the ability to edit your posts for an extended time, easier posting of pictures (you can upload pictures larger than 60kb - up to 2mb), blog and gallery privileges. This preserve your memories thrust is something Media Man and I did to provide even greater value to the membership for you while helping two small businesses have a nicer Christmas for them and their families. I should add these memberships are great gifts as well and those who come by the office and buy, could arrange for membership to be a secret until Christmas Day. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY Stop by Paulding.com 1033 Merchants Drive, Suite A Dallas, Georgia 30132 For more information, call 770-505-8544 ex. 1 Directions We're 9/10ths of a mile east of the New Dallas Post Office on Business 6 (AKA: Merchants Drive) Link to post Share on other sites

Hey SS, I do a little computer repair on the side as long as it's a desktop. When it comes to laptops I run away like a lot of other people. I do have a cousin in Powder Springs that works on them though. He is very good. I call him when I can't figure something out. I can give you his info if your interested. My main business is video production and tape transfers. Now I work out of my basement studio near East Paulding H.S. I used to be located in Evans Mill Office Park. Give me a shout if you need any info or advice on video. I'm also into installing flat screen tvs and surround sound systems. Link to post Share on other sites

Mama Carol Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I don't think that we really give a lot of thought of what would happen to our photo memories in times of disaster, such as hurricanes, tornadoes or fires. Often those photos may be of long-gone relatives with whom we had a special bond. One of my most priced possessions is a photo of my paternal grandmother with all of her children. A photo taken just months before my dad's twin brother passed away. It was the last photo taken of all of them. I would really hate to lose that picture. It means so much to me. I would love to have all of the really special photos put on a disc that I can put in a fire-proof box or a safe deposit box. Maybe someday. Please do get involved!! Get the word out about what you do. I've seen it and I'm VERY impressed! I'm not one to be easily impressed either. Thanks S&DN !!! I guess good things come to those who wait!

Get the word out about what you do. I've seen it and I'm VERY impressed! I'm not one to be easily impressed either. It all started when my neighbors house burned down and they were trying to recover some items the next day. Most of their pictures were burned and some were repairable with photoshop. Most people don't even think about all of their pictures in shoe boxes in their closet or video tapes in the entertainment center until after the fact. To be prepared, start transferring your home videos to dvd and make an extra copy to give to a friend or family member just in case something happens. You can also put them in a safe deposit box. As far as your old photographs are concerned, start scanning them as soon as possible and upload them to a free picture storage site such as flickr or shutterfly and your pictures will be safe forever! Even digital pictures can be lost if your camera and computer are in your house and a fire or tornado happens suddenly. Anytime you take some pictures make sure you upload them to a free storage account as soon as possible. When your on vacation, transfer your pictures from your camera to your laptop or tablet computer and upload them through wifi wherever your staying. Most hotels offer free wifi these days. Also, with big SD storage cards these days 16gig, 32gig, 64,gig, etc., a lot of people tend to forget about transferring all of those pictures and videos because they have plenty of storage. You never know if someone might steal your camera out of your house or hotel room. Those memories will probably be gone forever if that happens. A great way to start saving your old VHS Movies is to get a premium membership on paulding.com for $29.95 and get 2 free VHS to DVD conversions! My normal price is $20.00 per tape. This is a $40.00 value!!! Like I said earlier, it's like we are paying you $10.00 to upgrade your membership and get 2 VHS to DVD conversions!!! Link to post Share on other sites
