Video footage preserves family moments that might otherwise be forgotten, like the day Grandpa wiped everyone's memory with a spy drug. Bring precious records to the digital age with today's Groupon: for $39, you get $175 worth of movie- and photo-transfer services at DTV Home Movie Transfers.

At DTV Home Movie Transfers, founder Bob Diamond and partner Rachelle channel years of production experience and work done for major television networks to immortalize memories through VHS and film transfers, print-to-digital photograph preservation, and a host of other audio-visual services. With the $175 value of today's Groupon, customers can convert up to two hours of VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, Hi-8mm or Mini DV footage into DVD format, complete with a personalized disc menu and up to eight custom chapters. After creating custom art for the cases, DTV presents patrons with one copy of the disc, fully functional digital doppelgangers that have been edited to remove distracting dead-air shots of the ceiling, annoying static intermissions, reruns of old television shows, and accidental Bigfoot sightings at the request of the CIA.

The photo-presentation package appeases shutterbugs with up to 500 loose 4"x5" or 4"x6" photographs scanned onto one CD and a slideshow presentation on DVD that includes smooth transitional effect and a complimentary scene-setting soundtrack. Dusty reels get a movie makeover with 8mm, Super 8mm, and 16mm film-transfer options. Two-hundred feet of film undergo chronological organization, color correction, and a crash course on how to surf the Internet before leaping into the future and landing in digital format. As part of this package, up to 100 4"x5" individual photographs can also be scanned and preserved on DVD.

Unlike other film-transfer companies, DTV Home Movie Transfers does all of its work in-house, avoiding the risk that invaluable tapes get damaged, destroyed, or lost in the mail when outsourced to Santa's elves. Though the price of other services may exceed the value of this Groupon, customers are not limited to the packages listed above, as DTV specializes in a range of other services including audio transfers, custom video presentations, and DVD and CD copying.
