MultiMediaMoments Information
We are all starting to migrate to the new digital world. Photos and video
are starting to pile up in our computer hard drive. They are a very important
part of our family history but if left there, as a collection of uncataloged
files, they will start to fade away due to lack of documentation and attacks
to your computer in this digital world.
You need to start planning your digital library so that you don't allow these
important parts of your own history to fade away. Most important of all, you need
to start taking advantage of all the additional resources available everywhere
to distribute you information easily and unexpensively. Several options are
available with the technology we have today:
- Document your main events in digital format using digital cameras and
digital camcorders. If it is an important event, you may be too busy to be able
to document yourself so, MultiMediaMoments can document your main events in
digital video or digital photo
format.
- Convert your digital video and digital photos in deliverables that are
easy to distribute and share with your family and friends. You need to
explore the different possibilities here:

|
- Create a DVD from your library of digital video. A DVD can normally
fit one to two hours of video, depending on the image definition, and
it can be easily sent to family and friends and it can be seen using a
regular DVD player hooked to a TV. If you don't have time to
create them, MultiMediaMoments can create the DVD with our
Tape to DVD Service that can not only transfer what you have in tape
into DVD format but it also has options to have full edit capabilities with
inclusion of chapters, titles, transitions and personal clips. Services like
our Video Production Service also provides a
fully edited DVD.
- Create a slideshow from your library of digital photos. A slideshow
is an organized sequence of photos focusing on an event, a person, a
family history, a party, a celebration. The slideshow is, in fact, a DVD
so the sequence of photos can be shown from a regular DVD player hooked to
a TV. If you don't have time to create them, MultiMediaMoments can create
the slideshow with our Slideshow Production Service.
Services like our Video Production Service and our
Photo Production Service has options to provide
slideshow creation.
- Create a newsletter with your library of digital video and photo. The
newsletter can be in paper format but it can also be provided to your family
and friends in digital format as a CD that can be read in your computer. The
advantage of the digital format over paper is that you will be able to include
much more information on the CD. Each of of those CDs can fit about 800 of
high resolution photos or you can include also video. It is then, much cheaper
to send a CD over the mail if we compare it to 800 photos in paper format. Newsletter
can be create using a regular text editor like MS Word if you are creating it
in paper format. It also can be created very easily using a regular HTML Editor
if you are creating it in digital format. If you don't have time to create
them, MultiMediaMoments can create the newsletter in paper or digital format
with our Newsletter Production Service.
- Develop a homepage with your library of digital video and photo. The
homepage can be seen by all your family and friends simultaneously and at
any time over the Internet. If you want, you can secure it with a password that
only you, your relatives and friends will be able to access your information. You will have a web address
that you will share with your family and friends and they will be able to
always see updated information on your family. If you don't have time to create
it, MultiMediaMoments can create the homepage with our
Homepage Development Service.
- Use the available digital resources to create paper or electronic cards.
A holiday card, a thank you card, a get well card, any card can be created in
digital format and sent electronically to your family and friends or you can
also use the existing resources to personalize the paper card you are going
to send with photos from your own library. If you don't have time to create
the electronic or personalized paper card, MultiMediaMoments can help you with
our Paper or Electronic Card Service.
- Collect what you have today in analog tape or paper format and digitize it. We all have
those VHS or camcorder tapes with family videos. Convert them to the digital
DVD format and you will not risk loosing the quality of those images. We all
also have those precious photos, some of them already fading away or even with
tears and cracks. Restore them and digitize them into your photo library. If
you don't have time to do that, MultiMediaMoments can convert your tapes to
DVD with our Tape to DVD Conversion Service and
restore your precious photos with our Photo Effect and
Restoration Service. We also offer services to digitalize any paper photo
or document with our Document/Photo Digitalization Service.
For you to keep a complete library of digital video and photo, it is very
important for you also to plan your own computer resources. We, at
MultiMediaMoments, have created a technology department for us to be able
to support your computing needs. Here are some areas you need to plan for:
- Prepare your computer for digital video and photos and use all available
resources on the Internet. Having a digital camera also implies on having
the adequate resources on your computer and take advantage of all the
additional resources available on the Internet. Check the capabilities of
your computer in terms of storage space, available ports and performance.
Select a software that will help you work with photos, correct them and
help you sending these photos to family and friends. MultiMediaMoments can
also help you in this task with out Paper to Digital
Photo Transition Class.
- Tune-up your computer for better performance and keep it free from virus
and spywares. If you feel that your computer is slow or executing procedures
it is not supposed to, you may have a virus infection, a spyware installed or
you simply need a tune-up, cleaning disk, registries and startup applications.
Check for virus or trojan horses in your computer. They can not only disrupt
the normal operation of your computer but also destroy the precious data you
want to keep. Remove spyware from your computers once they are there just
using your computer resources to provide others with information about your
Internet access habits. If you don't have time to do all that, MultiMediaMoments
can help you with our Computer Tune-up and Security Services
.
- Plan the upgrade of your computer with devices needed for a digital
video and photo library. Now that you are migrating to digital media, it is
very important that you also upgrade your computer resources for you to be
able to take advantage of all the digital facilities. There are several
devices that can help you in this process. A scanner to digitalize the paper
photos that you have today, making it easy to distribute them, a web cam to
be able to communicate with family and friends face to face, Firewire interface
to be able to download video files from your camcorder to your PC, USB ports to
be able to download photo files from your digital camera to your PC. All these
and many more like memory and disk, will help you built a complete multimedia
environment.
MultiMediaMoments can help you with our Computer Upgrade
Service.
- Install a broadband connection to the Internet for you to get use of
all the capabilities it has to offer and think on a wireless network if
you have notebooks of more than one computer. The ability to be able to
download and upload information as fast as possible is very important when
you are migrating to a multimedia environment. Photo and video files are
usually large files that would take minutes and even hours in a normal
modem dialed line. A broadband connection would provide you high speed and
throughput capability 24 hours a day connected and you still can share the
wire (either cable or phone line) with the normal service simultaneously. If
you want to go portable with notebooks or laptops or if you have more than one
computer at your home, you also need to include the wireless networking
capability that will enable several computers at your home sharing the same
broadband line to the Internet. If you don't have time to install this
infra-structure, MultiMediaMoments can help you with our
Broadband and Wireless Networking Service.
- When possible, use software that can give you the economy of open source
and freeware options. There are several of them that can provide the quality
you need for a zero cost. These software can give you capabilities like:
- Word processor capable of editing MS Word DOC files and creating Adobe Acrobat PDF files (OpenOffice)
- Spreadsheet capable of editing MS Excel XLS files (OpenOffice)
- Presentation capable of editing PPT PowerPoint files (OpenOffice)
- Web browser capable of reading HTML files (Firefox)
- e-Mail software (Thunderbird)
- WYSIWYG HTML editor capable of editing HTML files without having to know HTML
- Photo and graphical package capable of editing JPEG and GIF files
- If you don't have time to download and install them, MultiMediaMoments can help
you with our Complete Open Workstation Service.
