Go Here to Convert Your-Keepsakes to a Digital-Medium

Anyone has a chance to get those old home movies turned into a modern, more usable medium and help preserve North Texas history this weekend. The University of North Texas Libraries are offering to digitize any format of old home movies on Saturday, April 30, for free in Denton. Anyone has a chance to get those old home movies turned into a modern, more usable medium and help preserve North Texas history this weekend. The University of North Texas Libraries are offering to digitize any format of old home movies on Saturday, April 30, for free in Denton. Librarians will offer the service at the Willis Library and they say they are prepared for any format of video or picture for old slides to film and even Beta tape; though some of the longer film may have to be sent to Austin and then returned to the user once it's all been converted. Folks will then receive a copy of their video on a digital format for easier use. "What we're trying to do is preserve more amateur media
history," said digital librarian Laura Treat. The Portal holds video and images from many different sources, including the old archives of NBC 5. Treat hopes the home movies section can add to the account of family life throughout the ages in Texas and maybe even unearth something very rare. Treat also encourages people to bring old advertisements, ticket stubs or other items that could be scanned into the archive to help tell the stories of North Texas and especially of Denton County. Unlike your old vinyl record collection, those VHS tapes you stored away in the back of your closet aren't going to see a resurgence in popularity. There are no videophiles extolling the superior experience and fidelity of these analog tapes. No, VHS is a dying medium that fully deserves to be put in its grave. But before your tapes turn to goop or VCRs become as rare as eight-track players, let's take a moment to archive any sentimental home movies you still have on tape. Honestly, those really
should be the only VHS tapes you're still holding on to. Whatever horrible '80s sitcom you taped religiously has since been reissued in crisp digital detail, so don't waste your time (or possibly break the law) by recording it to your computer. In this CNET How To video, and in the gallery below, I'll walk you through the process of transferring those VHS home movies over to your computer using a simple, relatively inexpensive method.

If you’re like many Americans, you have countless boxes taking up space in closets, the basement or a storage unit that are filled with irreplaceable photos and videos. Even if you’ve never been much of a shutterbug, you’ve likely collected thousands of snapshots, slides and negatives. Click-happy photographers and self-appointed family historians could easily have accumulated more than 10,000 nondigital images. The biggest problem with analog technology is that the images (and video and sound) deteriorate over time, dooming those Kodak moments as surely as the fortunes of the once-dominant film company. As photographs age, dyes in the ink fade and discolor, and the paper often yellows or becomes brittle. Tape used for video recordings decays as the magnetic particles lose their charge and the protective layer of film absorbs moisture. Even if it has been years since you last thumbed through your photos or loaded your videos for a nostalgic viewing, they hav
e been degraded by air, light, temperature changes and humidity. Curtis Bisel, 42, digitized his own photos and later tackled his parents’ collection—including slides from a trip to the 1964 New York World’s Fair. “I’d never seen my family’s whole life play out in order, and there were so many parts of the story that I couldn’t recall,” says Bisel, who has digitized almost 6,600 photos and advises others about digitizing their pictures If you’re like many Americans, you have countless boxes taking up space in closets, the basement or a storage unit that are filled with irreplaceable photos and videos.
