YesVideo.com Unveils Innovative CD Solution for Videographers

Simple and Inexpensive Video Digitalization Solution Offering Free Trial at WEVA Expo 2000 -- Booth #721

SAN JOSE, Calif. - August 15, 2000 - Making the tedium and high expense of having client videos transferred to CDs a thing of the past, YesVideo.com announced today a revolutionary new service that allows videographers to easily and cost effectively provide clients with CDs of edited videos. The service, being unveiled at WEVA Expo 2000, is as simple as dropping a video in the mail and costs about half or less of other solutions currently available. At the same time, YesVideo’s service offers videographers continuing revenue potential if consumers order more of the same CDs.

“YesVideo is dedicated to making the digitization of videos as simple and profitable to wedding and event videographers as possible,” said Sai-Wai Fu, president and CEO of YesVideo.com. “Videographers tell us that most of their clients request CD copies of their videos, but that digitization is time consuming and expensive. Our innovative and complete service will take the hassle and expense out of the process and let videographers redirect their time to more creative and profitable activities.”

Videographers visiting YesVideo’s WEVA Expo 2000 Booth #721 will be given a free trial kit for the new service. Starting early 2001, YesVideo will also transfer videos onto two-hour DVDs at the same low price to serve the increasing number of computer owners purchasing those drives.

Here’s how YesVideo’s process works: a videographer will mail the finished tape to YesVideo.com. In most cases, the digitization process takes between 5 to 10 business days, after which the videographer will receive back the completed CDs packed in handsome plastic cases, along with the original tape. The covers of the CDs will be customized to show thumbnail images of the most important video scenes, as well as the videographer’s name.

Videographers’ clients will find YesVideo’s CDs (and, soon, DVDs) particularly appealing because they will be simple for consumers to customize for sharing with friends and family. Thanks to YesVideo’s patent-pending process, the client can rearrange and prioritize the video scenes depending on who will receive the CD. The client can then share select scenes for free by webcast or order inexpensive CD copies. For example, a bride may organize the video scenes on her CD to emphasize shots of her sorority sisters. Then she can email her friends the link to view the preferred scenes on YesVideo.com’s website at no charge, or order CD copies to send as presents. Videographers will receive a percentage of the revenue from additional CDs of the same video.
