| Do It Yourself |  |
YES DVD (tm) | |
| Price | $250-$1,000 and up for basic recorder, + media $ + countless hours of your time |
$27 / DVD - no sales tax (bulk price shown; single DVD price $34, with discounts applied starting with second DVD) |
$31.79 / DVD ($29.99 / DVD + 6% sales tax) (no bulk pricing available) |
| Quality | No special processing for aged tapes. Most
likely using low quality home / consumer
VCR. Media most likely what you can buy in CompUSA, Staples or BJ's (would you preserve your memories on that stuff? Yuk! These guys switch manufacturers all the time.) No scene menus!! |
- Special processing for aged and trouble tapes! Professional equipment that you most likely
won't buy yourself and that the volume processors
won't adjust by hand for each of your tapes - Highest quality media used! We purchase high quality media in bulk available only from professional suppliers. We constantly monitor OEM manufacturers and distributors to know who is selling high quality media - this changes frequently! - Scene selection menus for each DVD and an Index DVD of all scenes. You can't do these yourself on your home DVD recorder and the volume processors won't do an index of all scenes on all DVDs; Single DVD's come with scenes also shown on the box. |
"One size fits all" processing
for tapes. Media mostly Verbatim (medium quality). |
| Convenience | Takes time away from your other activites, if you can find it at all. | - Pick up and drop off available for bulk orders! - Your tapes handled with care by the business owner! - All work performed on our time, not yours! |
Good, as long as your tapes don't get lost on the way there or mixed up with others when there. |
| Bottom Line | Time consuming with mixed results (and no scene selection menus). | Professional results backed by a warranty and satisfaction guarantee. | More expensive and not as good as PYM. |
