    The Costco name is well-known in the video transfer<\/a> industry. They offer various services, including converting old analog media to DVD<\/a> or downloadable digital versions for more accessible storage and playback on your modern devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Many of the customer reviews I've found mainly focus on the photo service, but Costco Photo Center offers much more than just photo conversion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Costco Photo Center is a simple and easy way to create beautiful prints and relive moments from your favorite photos and videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You might not know this, but Costco Photo Center sends your media to the YesVideo service<\/a> to be digitized. For some people, this can be a big deal. But, don't worry, we will offer you another great digitizing service later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How Costco Digitizing Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you have tapes that require digitization<\/a>, bring them to the nearest Costco for a free evaluation, or if you don't have one near you, you can order online. They will evaluate your videos, films, photos, and slides and estimate how much all of them would cost to digitize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here is the Costco order process in 4 steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n
      \n
    1. Create Your Order<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"costco<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      When you gather all your old analog media, create your order, and personalize your DVDs with titles. It's best if you title your media files with easily recognizable names.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      \n
        \n
      1. Send Media<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"costco<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        To ensure a safe delivery, package your media in an appropriate box and the correct documentation. Shipping costs $5.99 for both ways, and with it, you get a UPS prepaid label, so you don't pay much more for shipping the box.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

        \n
        \n
          \n
        1. Process Time<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"digitizing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          When you drop off your media at a UPS Store, Costco will send an email letting you know that it's been received and then another when they ship the order back to you. You can expect your order to get digitized in about 3 - 4 weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

          \n
            \n
          1. Receive Your Memories<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \"Costco<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            After successfully digitizing your media, they will send it to you along with your original analog media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

            When Costco receives your package, all original media is tagged with a barcode and tracked throughout the entire process. You can check how things are going on the order status page. In addition, every video or image transferred by Costco gets backed up for 90 days after completion, so there's always peace of mind when it comes down to shipping back your old analog tapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
