Capturing memories on a VHS or fading photograph is as reliable as catching time by swinging a honey-soaked stick through the air. Today's Groupon invites you to backup your videotapes, photographs, and more: for $45, you get $110 worth of media transfer services at DVD Your Memories. Locally converted media by professional technicians means no risky shipping and handling for your interleague bowling reunion films.

A moment in time is only as secure as the preservation tools used to seize it. DVD Your Memories' talented and friendly staff of memory technicians implement state-of-the-art scanning and transferring technology on your old photographs, slides, negatives, videotapes, film reels, audio files, and more so that future generations will one day find perfectly playable media inside the dusty boot-boxes of futuristic attics. The preservation experts take the raw material of your antiquated mediums and convert it to resilient CDs or special DVDs that last 100 years for archival purposes and are regarded as the most durable DVDs in the world.

Individual 5"x7" photo scans cost $0.79 cents each for orders sized between 1 and 100 prints, videotapes start at $15 for a tape up to 30 minutes, negatives begin at $0.79 cents each, and all other transfer-service prices can seen by clicking on the medium of your choice. You can also use your Groupon to make slideshow movies (basic for $50 + $0.10 per image) to settle workplace disputes over who has the handsomest family.

Scanning and file transferring take anywhere from one day to roughly two weeks, giving technicians time to efficiently and carefully work with your cherished prints and videos to produce the highest-quality replications possible. While biological cloning still floats along a sea of heated debate, the doubling of inanimate but highly personal objects saves people the trouble of having to aggressively document all of their daily doings in thick-bound journals.
