Matt King and Fern Bray DVD/CD Protection -- helping prevent “CD/DVD rot,” including off gas clouding, scratching, dust and other contaminants The Denver-based video production firm Co-founder and Co-Owner Matt King of Remember When(TM) now has the patent application published for a new line of products sold under the trade names “DiscProtectors, DiscShields and DiscPreservers.” The announcement is made jointly by King and his business partner, Fern Bray, who have run Colorado’s premiere film company for memorial tributes and life stories from their Aurora production facilities since 2000. Details regarding the recently published patent may be found by searching under the “Published Applications” section at http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html for United States Patent Application 20040262176.

“At Remember When, we put people’s lives, memories, mementos and family treasures on DVDs in ways no one else can and will,” explains Bray. “Therefore, Matt and I had to have a way to keep the DVD productions as safe as possible for future generations.” DiscProtectors – as well as sister products DiscShields and DiscPreservers – do just that, going well beyond the average film or video company’s effort to protect a final product on DVD. These new products are special cloths that fit between the readable side of the disc and the case. When in place, the special material helps keep the disc from being fogged by “off gas clouding” of the case over a period of time. The “DiscPreservers” will also help to prevent “disc rot” by keeping high humidity off the edge of the disc when properly placed in the case. We have found that most video companies producing DVD’s do not think this is a problem, according to King, and really don’t care about the threat. “We’ve found through our research that this is a serious concern. Disc rots, clouding, and scratching are common. And, at Remember When, we simply can’t take the chance with our families’ and clients’ important memories stored on DVD,” King says. King brings extensive experience in the film production business to Remember When. He has worked as a production technician for Disney and other Hollywood concerns, plus has been involved in numerous film and production projects in the Denver area during his filmmaking career. Bray, described by a local newspaper reporter as "a homegrown Barbara Walters," is the interviewer. She guides clients through a list of more than 150 questions designed to jog the memory and get across just who the person really is. Most often taping is done right in the client's home. Remember When has been featured in both the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News.
