The average shelf life of digital videotape is approximately 7 years. After that, a video's picture deteriorates: colors bleed, snow and other picture anomalies appear, and the audio becomes distorted. Don't let your precious memories disappear forever. Archive your videotape collection onto DVD - now. And the fastest and easiest way to do that is with Instant VideoAlbum. Instant VideoAlbum captures video to your computer, indexes all of your scenes, lets you clean up poorly-filmed material, and build interactive CDs or DVDs that play both in both your PC and living room DVD player. There's no need to keep your old VCR anymore!

Anyone can do it! You don't need to be technically savvy to use Instant VideoAlbum. The software takes your hand and guides you through every step of the process. From capturing your video to creating interactive DVDs, Instant VideoAlbum was specifically designed to get the job done quickly and easily.

After your video has been transferred to your computer, remove all the extraneous footage and bloopers using the special trim tool. Sort and group the video you want to keep, and then arrange the video into easily searchable albums in the same manner you'd organize pictures in a photo album. Enrich your album further by incorporating still pictures, a musical sound track, high-caliber transition effects such as dissolves, pulls and wipes, and preview all of it in real time.

Clean up video clips that contain shaky images and underexposed shots with Instant VideoAlbum's Auto Clean-up feature. Auto Clean-up automatically smoothes out shaky camera work, lightens poorly lit shots and corrects blown-out colors.

Instant VideoAlbum's innovative "Direct-to-Disc" technology transfers your video footage to a recordable CD or DVD in a single step. Pop your source video into your camcorder, drop a blank disc into your CD or DVD burner and press "record." You can get up to 3 hours of high-quality video onto one DVD! If you want to take your video albums to the next level, create interactive menus that can be navigated using your DVD's remote control. The software includes dozens of specially created menus for every occasion, such as wedding celebration, Christmas, Baby's First Year and others. The software even includes a disc label editor for printing images on discs and CD/DVD jewel case inserts.

With all of these features and more, it's easy to see why Instant VideoAlbum is the best solution for digital camcorder owners who simply want to backup their movies on CD or DVD and share them with friends and family.
