Omaha Startup PeggyBank Digitizes Old Media For Online Sharing

peggybankIf you're like me you've thought about digging up old 8mm film, or VHS tapes, and converting them to a more modern format. There are a lot of services that fulfill this need - just do a search for "media conversion" or something similar and you'll see dozens of services. Most of the sites don't inspire much confidence in sending them priceless childhood videos, though. And generally they focus on getting media to DVD and mailing it to you.Omaha, Nebraska based PeggyBank stands out. The company mails you a pre-addressed box for your media. You can include anything - photos, slides, negatives, 8mm video or VHS. They'll convert it all, put it on their site for you to view, and return the original media. You can then share links to the digital files, or download them to keep on your hard drive, burn to DVD or CD, etc.Here's an example video from 1958.
