Digitizing My Home Videos with Legacybox

Posted on February 1, 2022

My generation grew up in the era of technology. Video cameras were the new thing, cell phones were just coming out, computers and the internet were taking off. So much has changed since I was a kid, but the great part is that all of my important family memories were recorded. It’s true, the video camera my parents used to record all of our Holidays, Birthdays and Vacations weighed about 15 lbs and the finished product wasn’t very clear, but boy did my sister and I love to watch those tapes back! That’s why I was so excited to go about Digitizing My Home Videos with Legacybox!

Fast forward 20 years and Camcorders and VCR’s are obsolete and it’s nearly impossible to find a way to watch those tapes that we so dearly loved. My family has been talking about digitizing our home videos for years, but most recently when my parents moved and all of our home videos ended up in my basement for safekeeping while they build their house. I figured it was the perfect opportunity to surprise the family and digitize the video content before it was ruined by time or moisture or mold!

Cut to Legacybox! I did a lot of research and came across Legacybox, which is an all inclusive service that handles your home video digitizing needs from start to finish. Aside from finding and picking out the home movies I wanted transferred, there was almost nothing else I needed to do on my own. Literally, Digitizing My Home Videos with Legacybox was such an easy and seamless process and I am so glad I finally did it!

Check out how I went about Digitizing My Home Videos with Legacybox below!

READ THE PAMPHLET

Once you’ve ordered your Legacybox kit, you will receive a box in the mail that has everything you need. The pamphlet, or welcome guide, has step-by-step instructions and also has barcode stickers in it, which will be affixed to each piece of video or photo content you plan to have digitized.

THE BARCODES

Each piece of media gets its own, unique barcode, which is fully trackable. As Legacybox is going through the digitization process, you will always know where your content is in the process.

PACK YOUR MEDIA

Once coded, simply pack your media in the box that was provided and ship using the pre-paid shipping labels that are provided in the pamphlet! Legacybox has tons of different digitization options from just 2 items all the way up to 40 items! I had 40 home videos digitized!

WHAT YOU GET

Legacybox offers three different media options, including a secure thumb drive, digital downloads or watchable DVD sets to secure your precious memories forever! Don’t worry, you will also get back your original analog media or photos for safekeeping!

ENJOY!

Sit back, relax, break out the popcorn and enjoy watching your digitized memories! I have a fun little viewing party planned with my whole family! I am excited to surprise them with this little project and watch some of our favorite memories together!
