- Finally, I am getting around to showing where and how I store my DVD collection after I have ripped the movie to my HTPC.
Snap-N-Store Disc Storage Box (holds 26 normal cases or about 130 with my method): www.officesupp...
Clear Plastic Sleeves with Flap (500 count): www.amazon.com...
Disc Sleeves (500 count): www.amazon.com...
Wow, you have a huge collection! I like how you store everything, great way to save space and still have such a large collection. I love how organized you can be with this. About how many DVDs/Blu-rays do you own? I really liked this video, I hope you do more🙂
Thanks for the huge compliment. My entire collection of almost 2.5K movies is visible here: www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=281086&action=hybrid
I plan to do another one soon with all the boxes opened spread out on a table so people can really see what this looks like and then imagine it with the normal DVD cases and how much more space it would take up.
@@dontquoteus5379, nice, I’ll keep an eye out for that video, looking forward to it🙂 And that is a massive collection! I’m jealous 🤤 I’m closing in on 500 titles but there’s still a thousand that I want lol.
I cut the front slip covers out depending if it's Lenticular, foil, or embossed. The actual DVD cover has the back art anyway so you're not missing anything. It's like those special comic book covers when you flip through through them.
Storing movies alphabetically is not scalable and will easily become more of a chore than you ever want.
Here's my suggestion as to how I store media, inventory, etc.
For storing movies, here is my suggestion:
Create a spreadsheet with the first column being a number starting with 1, second column is the name of the movie, and other columns to include actors, year, etc if desired. A location column indicates the box number that the movie resides.
Your boxes should then be labeled starting with 1.
Using the spreadsheet, you can easily find any and every movie and never have to worry about scalability.
If you happen to remove a movie from your collection, simply number the new replacement movie with that old number.
With the spreadsheet, you can easily sort the columns to find movies either alphabetically, organized by actor, year, etc.
Don't lose the spreadsheet! 😮
Got to say this is a unique idea far as the art work and cases
Thanks much friend. I posted a link to where the DVD boxes are pretty cheap right now.
That looks like it's in a garage... aren't the extreme cold temperatures of winter, or extreme hot temperatures of summer (depending what latitude you're in), really really bad for optical media?
Negative. This is my basement which is at about 50 - 65 all year long.
I like that Pachinko shirt, I really need to do an update on my collections some day.
Thanks for the compliment on the shirt. It's hard to go through your collection when it gets large and do a "refresh" or "sort". I have about 400 I need to file away now. I am soooo behind.
Hi would you ever do a complete dvd and bluray collection i like to see it
That would be a long video, but I may do one of part of my collection
Those look so cool, I totally destroyed all my sleeve artwork and cut them into little squares to fit binders, sucks.
Ouch! Sorry to hear that. At least you didn't cut the discs into little squares to make them fit too. Seriously though, the sleeves work great and while they still take up some space, it is a drop in the bucket vs keeping them in cases.
You have so many films!! Do you store music CDs this way also? Thank you so much for the link. The boxes are very neat and tidy.
Yes. These boxes here: th-cam.com/video/foXchS7gOUM/w-d-xo.html work great and hold a ton of CDs, especially if you move the art and disc into CD sleeves like I linked for the actual DVD discs.
I like your video store, where are you located your hours and price??? Ha ha. You're so ready for quarantine dude. Cool viddie
We are open 6 days a week. Mon-Fri 4-10 PM, Saturdays 4-midnight.
I started to store my movies the same way. Takes up less room on my movie shelves
Great to hear. Office Supply.xom has the boxes I use for about $8 each right now.
Nice collection dude!!!!!!
Thank you very much. I did a follow up video to this one where I laid all the boxes out on the ping-pong table and I was even surprised by how many there were.
I got inspired to streamline my dvd collection in a similar way to your's. I'm currently doing a few hundred dvds and haven't decided whether I want to put blu-rays into sleeves and I'm pretty sure I won't touch the 4K UHDs. Question about your vast dvd collection, do you toss all those cases? I'm currently saving the dvd cases in the garage in case I want to restore them, but my wife is ticked off and telling me I'm only increasing the footprint if I'm sleeving my collection AND keeping the cases. What do you do? Thanks, you're an inspiration!
Dont be such a beta male and tell your wife to shut up and obey you.
Just watched your other video still trying to find out what The name brand of the disk sleeves you use Is and where can I buy them. Looking for the same ones that you have that don't cause to crease the spine Of the clipart Cover. could you Please just tell me What the name brand is & where you buy them. You're Other video said I'd find it in this video but I still can't find it. I'm not good with the Internet So I must be looking in the wrong place. Can't even find the descriptions On these videos.all I can find is the comments So if you could put it in the comments that would be helpful please help me As my DVD's are getting ruined because they're all over the house and I need to get organized. Thank you so much love your videos
You have to be sure to get them from this seller. It is the only one I have found with the right width. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OAYKBQ0
I’ve been through several videos and haven’t found a brand or name or measurement mentioned. The link goes to Staples but I had to do my own search from
three. Trial and error is on me. Wish me luck.
You can actually go cheaper and get something similar to these from Target. Much cheaper and still very nice: www.target.com/p/sterilite-15qt-clear-view-storage-bin-with-latch-purple/-/A-13794491 I would say to go to Target (or Big Lots) and grab a DVD while you are there to make sure it will fit. I think you can fit about 150 DVDs flattened in one of these, but I haven't counted. DVDs are about 7.25" x 5.75" when flat.
Good video 👍🏻
Thank you sir. Barely got through it. That COVID shot takes it out of you.
Just brought the crush last week lol
I had a crush on Alicia Silverstone bad. That closet scene. ;)
@@dontquoteus5379 yeah lol
Do the plastic sleeves damage the discs at all?
I have taken discs in and out and since the discs are in ones with a felt backing, I get no scratches. As with anything on disc, you just take your time when putting them in or taking them out.
I though it said how I STOLE my dvd colleccion🤣
Some of the discs I have gotten for fifty cents at Salvation Army sure feelings like stealing sometimes.
@@dontquoteus5379 I get you I got evil dead 2 and escape from LA on a flea market in Tijuana for 20 pesos each aka a dollar each🥰
Can i quote you...pretty please? 🙏😆
doesn't count as a collection if you're getting rid of the cases, folding the artwork, and keeping them hidden in boxes. The point of a collection is putting it on display. as someone with 3,631 dvds, I know what I'm talking about.
