Helping a customer make his family’s home videos m Helping a customer make his family’s home videos more accessible.  He did the right thing years ago and converted his VHS and camcorder tapes to DVD.  Roughly 20 years across 86 DVDs - 101 hours of footage.  We converted the DVDs to high quality MP4 files and loaded on 2 hard drives.

The Iomega Zip Disk debuted in 1994 and quickly became the go-to “big storage” option for backing up files before USB flash drives and cheap CD burners took over. This 100MB cartridge? It still held precious memories — we just recovered family photos from 1999 off this very disk. ❤️📸
