YesVideo
Announces Addition of New,
Special Features for Home Movies
on DVD
Bonus
Music Video Clips Makes Sharing
Home Videos
Fun
SAN JOSE,
Calif. – May 28, 2002
– Do you remember the
first time you discovered the
"added bonus" material on your
favorite Hollywood DVD? Perhaps
it was the hilarious outtakes and
bloopers from Toy Story® or
interviews with the cast and
director of Apocolypse Now®?
It's exciting to find interesting
or entertaining surprises
included with your DVD
purchase.
That is why
YesVideo today announced that
with each home video it transfers
to DVD or CD for customers, the
company will include innovative
"special feature" material on the
disc, at no additional cost.
YesVideo makes
it simple to transfer personal
home videos onto high quality
DVDs and CDs, preserving them
forever and enabling easy viewing
via a home DVD player and
television, or personal computer.
YesVideo indexes 54 thumbnail
images taken from the home video
so customers can skip directly to
the scene they want to view -
without holding down a
fast-forward button. The DVD or
CD arrives in customized
packaging and the cover features
a visual index of the video,
making it easy to select which
movie to watch.
In addition to
transferring the video to DVD or
CD and providing an easy to use
interface, YesVideo will now
include up to three short video
clips created from your video
footage and set to classical,
jazz and rock music. Each clip
will contain a sequence of scenes
specially selected using
YesVideo's patented scene
detection technology. The scenes
will be automatically
synchronized and paced according
to the beats of the music,
similar to professionally shot
music videos. The result is a
short, enjoyable summary of your
video to share with family and
friends that would otherwise
require expensive equipment and
countless hours to create
manually.
"Adding free
bonus music clips onto the
YesDVDs will make it more fun for
your family and friends to share
your videotaped adventures -
without having to sit through
hours of footage," said Bob
Wilson, vice president of sales
and marketing for YesVideo. "We
aim to delight - and we think
this new feature will pleasantly
surprise our customers."
The suggested
retail price for the YesVideo
service is $34.99 for
transferring a video up to two
hours in length.
Alternatives
to YesVideo include finding a
local professional duplicating
facility (which would charge up
to $150 per hour) or going to the
difficulty and expense of buying,
installing and learning transfer
and editing hardware and software
at home. YesVideo's service is an
affordable way to eliminate all
the hassle.
As easy as
dropping off your camera film to
be developed, customers need only
drop-off their videotapes at the
photo processing center at
Albertson's/Osco/Savon, CVS,
K-Mart, Long's Drugs, Meijer,
RiteAid, Target or Walgreens
stores or one of the thousands of
local camera stores throughout
the U.S. or Black's Photo
Corporation retail locations
throughout Canada. The DVDs and
CDs can be picked up two weeks
later from the location where the
video was dropped off.
YesVideo is
the most convenient, simple and
affordable customized service for
transferring home videos to DVD
and CD. Sai-Wai Fu, a pioneer in
digital video compression
technology, founded the company
in 1999. The company is located
at 2249 Zanker Road, San Jose, CA
95131. More information can be
found online at

phone at 408-907-7600 or
(toll-free) 877-817-5375.
