Years ago I took all of our family 8mm movies, boxes of slides, and the little SONY video tapes that my dad had accumulated over the years and had all of them converted to a single VHS video tape.

Back in those days DVDs were not out yet and if they were, they certainly were not common. In fact, super VHS were the newest tapes in the industry at that time.

So, one year, at Christmas, we were raised as Catholics so we celebrated the traditional Christmas holiday. Anyway, I was short on cash, raising a family of three kids at the time, so I decided to make my dad and mom a gift for Christmas that year.

I had all of the miscellaneous media that I could find put onto a single VHS video tape then dubbed it with background music. At least the parts the didn’t have any sound. Particularly the old 8mm home movies.

Years ago when you had your film processed, they sold you slides along with your photo processing. I’m not sure if they gave them to you and just included the cost of the slides in with the processing or if it was an option like adding your photos to a cd disk these days.

Either way, it only took one long night and a lot of organizing, but I got it done.

Then, on Christmas morning, dad opened his gift and found a video tape.

He immediately put it in the video recorder and started to view it. I thought for sure he was going to cry when he saw what was on the tape.

He got up and gave me a big hug (that was unusual back then because he was never a big hugger, at least not with his boys) and thanked me for making that tape for him. He said it was the best gift I could have ever given him.

That was one of the best presents I ever gave him and he never forgot it. Because I took the time to make this myself, with the help of my videographer buddy of course.

One year I purchased a nice watch for dad because he never seemed to have a decent watch, at least not a nice looking dress watch.

So, I bought him a decent watch, it was only a few hundred bucks at that time, but it was still a nice gesture. I just wanted him to have something better than those old leather band watches.

I think I got it on sale during black Friday one year.

That watch didn’t compare to the video tape of all of us as kids on it. We were decorating the Christmas tree, learning how to ride bicycles, and it even had old 8mm movies of our traditionally huge family reunions on it. (Dad came from a family of 14 kids, Yowzers!)

So, I decided to give you the chance to do the same for your parents, relatives, or just close friends. The opportunity to put your family memories on what I have dubbed my Digital Time Capsule.

This is not a cylinder, a steel box, or even something you should bury without covering. It’s simply a digital time capsule kit that you can use to record your digital images, transfers, and whatever else you’d like to save for the next 100 years or so.

This kit includes 10 Archival Century CDs and 2 Archival Century DVDs, along with a hard-cover plastic case that has a locking clasp on the side, called a TOLV case because it holds 12 disks (CDs, DVDs, or even Blu-rays).

So, for a limited time, you can get 10 scratch-resistant Triple A rated CDs plus 2 scratch-resistant DVDs and a nice album/case to put them in for only $29.95 plus shipping and handling. Taxed were applicable, of course.

Order yours today! There’s still time to before the holidays to get your personalized gifts started.

You can use these disks for anything digital. Images, movies, videos, photos, data, and even your favorite music.

You can purchase ”Your Digital Time Capsule’ and maybe record a mix of your mom or dad’s favorite music or holiday music from their era and give that to them on a 24-karat gold disc.

You can even do the artwork and take it to a print shop and they’ll print a nice looking label right onto the disc for you.

Find a printer that has a thermal printer they can print onto the surface for you, these discs look like they were professionally pressed when you do that.

Anyway, if you’d like to get your hands on the best Archival Gold CDs and DVDs you’ll ever find, Click Here.

And…remember, you can’t find these in any stores and they are limited production runs so get them while you can, exclusively through CenturyDisc.com

By the way, the little kid in the white turtleneck sweater in the opening scene of this 8mm movie transfer ( You Tube ) trying to lift up his baby cousin, was me, I just realized that when I went to check to make sure the links were working.

I was a cute kid, what happened!?! Check out my mom in the platinum wig.

Thanks and I’ll be seeing you soon!
