The Fine Print

Over time, video cassettes gave way to more advanced formats, such as high-capacity DVDs and laserdiscs that can walk on their hind legs. Prevent natural selection from making your memories extinct with this Groupon.

Choose from Three Options

  • $25 for tape-to-DVD transfer of up to four hours of footage (a $50 value)
  • $35 for tape-to-DVD transfer of up to six hours of footage (a $75 value)
  • $45 for tape-to-DVD transfer of up to eight hours of footage (a $100 value)

Videographer and film editor Dan Gelfond uses the advanced tools of his trade to transform any camcorder, beta, or VHS tapes into DVDs, saving them from the ravages of time. He stores up to two hours of footage on a disc, titling each carefully to match either its former tape's name or a new title requested by the owner. Although transfer times can vary from one day to four weeks depending on Dan's pending workload, he delivers the final product neatly packaged in a slim colored case.

Keepsake Family Tree Video

Dan Gelfond spent four years working as a video interviewer for Steven Spielberg's Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation. In that time, he used his videographer's eye and interviewer's wit to help collect the testimony of thousands of Holocaust survivors and witnesses, immortalizing their stories. He also discovered his passion for preserving memories through video, a love that became a career when he founded Keepsake Family Tree Video.

Dan records major events, such as weddings or mitzvahs. He also lends his expertise and professional equipment to the production of corporate videos or event recordings, including vital trainings, all-hands meetings, and that one time Thompson left a thumbtack on the boss's chair. Additionally, he rescues old memories from outdated VHS or camcorder tapes by transferring them to DVD. His original creation, the Living Legacy DVD, remains his most notable service. As outlined in the Chicago Tribune, Dan employs the same skills he used working for the Visual History Foundation to interview a beloved family member, forever preserving their stories, advice, and wisdom. He travels anywhere in the world to conduct these interviews, bringing his professional lighting equipment, microphones, and, most importantly, demeanor.

The Groupon Guide to: Loudly Agreeing

Most parties, sports-radio calls, and conversations with cab drivers quickly devolve into two or more people loudly agreeing with each other. Put an interesting spin on your affirmations with one or more of these agreement-indicating catch phrases:

  • You know it!
  • It’s like I’ve been saying!
  • Couldn’t have said it better myself!
  • Someone call the Right Police because you are correct about the thing you just said.
  • [In a restaurant-host voice] Person making a good point, party of one!
  • I’m nodding so vigorously I might pass out!
  • Great minds think alike—and great friends hug to prove it!

How can you let someone know you agree with them? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
