Using New Online DVD Creation Service
Santa Clara, Calif. – September 9, 2009 – YesVideo, the leader in consumer media conversion services, today announced that it is teaming up with Ritz Camera and Imaging, the largest national camera and photo chain, to bring the My Show DVD™ service available online directly from RitzPix.com.
