Today I will begin an overview of technologies that will assist you in understanding the capabilities of viewing your video entertainment, film reels from the past and audio files from various origins and media formats. You may ask yourself what are the options for me to convert my family video archive and film reels (or audio formats from tape and disc). The primary objective is to enable your archived content to be accessible and viewable on demand. The days of converting to digital video disk (DVD) are over! DVDs (while convenient and tangible) are not considered viable formats any longer due to the fact they can become scratched, broken or even lost. You certainly do not want to maintain heirloom family media on something that is destructible! Digital Video File in the format of MPEG-4 is non-destructible! It can be shared infinitely with as many people as you like and as often as you like, not to mention stored on as many devices as you choose. You also have options of saving your content on a website where it can be accessed at anytime from any place and at relatively low cost (fees are typically under $5.00 per month with most hosting providers such as pCloud, Sync, iCloud, Google Cloud and many others). You also may be concerned with sharing and shipping your priceless original content with companies like ours to have them digitized. Do not worry!
