       YesVideo YesVideo
YesVideo is the first company to offer a truly convenient way for video camera households to be able to share and preserve the more than 300-million home videos that are stockpiled in homes around America. Unfortunately, videos deteriorate with time as well as with use. While CDs and DVDs do not deteriorate, until now it has been very expensive to convert videos to computer disks at local studios. Transfer and editing software is increasingly available, but today’s busy families have been reluctant to invest the time and expense necessary to purchase, install and learn the software and hardware. YesVideo has come up with a simple, convenient process for converting videos to CDs and DVDs, allowing busy families to easily preserve the priceless moments in all their neglected videos. They will be able to enjoy their videos more, too, because the scenes can be viewed in any order without annoying fast forwarding. Also investing in YesVideo were KLM and Kodak Venture Capital Group.
