- YesVideo converts physical media to digital and allows customers to share indexed footage via their Facebook Timelines. Customers can use the service to digitize old VHS tapes, 8mm, miniDV and photos — and publish to Timeline through a new feature that launched last week.
- “You can submit your vintage videos at any of YesVideo’s at CVS/pharmacy, Walgreen’s, and Costco retail locations,” explains Digital Trends. The footage is then shipped to YesVideo where it is digitized and uploaded to the cloud for easy access.
- “While YesVideo’s primary focus is its cloud hosting service, the company sends you a DVD copy, alongside the original media,” explains the post. Additionally, YesVideo indexes the video content algorithmically and breaks it into chapters. This offers users the ability to share more manageable clips.
- “YesVideo digitizes over 1.5 million videos per year, and with its indexing feature, turns that into approximately somewhere between 75 million and 150 million clips a year,” notes the post.
- The company is also planning an open API in order for third-party developers to create new tools.
- “This idea that you have all your home videos and access to your extended family’s old home videos and you sit down and log into your Google TV for instance or your Roku box and voila, you’ve got your home videos that you can share with your family or on your mobile device,” says CEO Michael Chang.
