As a follow up, I purchased 350 of the sleeves after watching this video. 12 hours later my wife and I had 3/4 of our collection sleeved, alphabetized, and placed in its proper genre. We threw out 4, 30 gallon trash bags of needless did cases. Yeah, I know I could've put them on eBay and made some cash, but I wasn't thinking clearly after 12 hours of organization... Needless to say, this is one of the best purchases ever. Thanks again for making this, and introducing us to our new favorite organizational tool.
+Alex Stewart Glad to have helped! :D But wow, 12 hours is intense! I can only do small chunks at a time before wearing out. It's REALLY impressive you did it all in one fell swoop! 0.0
I've bought +250 Megadisc sleeves and I've reduced DVD clutter in my house SIGNIFICANTLY. Thank you!!!
Thank you for this video! Ive spent weeks pondering what video sleeves would best suit my family's needs and time and time again the information i was seeking was lacking. Your video was a huge help, not only did you give the pros and cons of each of them you gave great detail and showed each product and how the worked very well. I will be ordering discsox to tame my dvd collection.
Heather Reavis Glad to hear it helped! :) And if you want to soften the costs of DiscSox organization, you should also pick up a pack of large index cards to use as alphabetical dividers. They're the perfect size right out of the package and cost a lot less than the DiscSox alternative! ;)
You rock, I gotta say this is the best video I've ever seen on getting your DVD's under control. thank you. thank you for showing the different prices and options with sleeves. I definitely want to do this and I've watched many videos on putting disks in sleeves. none of them gave the depth and breath of quality and choices as your video. And I really needed the help because my DVD collection is insane
I have been using the DiscSox Sleeves for about 3 years now. I have found them to be the best option and the have BlueRay specific sleeves as well. As for the cost there is a way around that. First they are available at the Container Store if you have one in your area that avoids shipping costs. Secondly a few times a year they put them on sale. I stock up when that happens. It saved me $6.00 a package, which is huge.
Best Compact disc review video so far! Loved that you compared all three of the best product available. Thanks to this video I'll go with Atlantic for Blu Ray's and Megadisc for Dvd's, sorry Disc Sox.
+alainmgs Thanks! And glad to have been able to help! :)
I just ordered 100 Discsox. I know they're expensive but they definitely seem like the best quality. They also have really nice storage options.
Holy cow!! You have saved my out of control DVD life!! Thanks so much for such an in-depth look into the options. I actually think the cheapest option is the best for me. Thanks again!
+Alex Stewart When possible, cheapest is always best IMO. ;)
Great job. I'm a big fan of this editing style. Very entertaining. I think I'll bite the bullet and go for the discsox. About a third of my collection is the cardboard snapcase type.
SSamuelR44 Glad you enjoyed it! :D
DiscSox are, hands down, the best build quality of the lot so you'll definitely get your money's worth. (Also, I've recently discovered that you can flatten and fit most DVD slipcases into the back behind the insert as well!)
Excellent review. Exactly what I was looking for in the comparison field. hadn't even come across Megadisc until your review.
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you for this extremely helpful and to the point video :) I only wish I had found this video an hour earlier instead of scouring ebay and amazon fruitlessly haha
This was awesome! I was looking at these three products trying to figure out what to get, and you gave me all the information that I needed! You rock!
For anyone interested in the Megadisc sleeves, check out some of the other items by the same seller; I say this because this seller also sells a storage case for $89.99 that comes with 420 sleeves! That's only $0.21/sleeve as opposed to $0.26, PLUS you get a case to store them in! Just thought I'd spread the word for anyone who has quite a big collection and would be buying at least 420 sleeves anyway!
Matt Welch Wow, that's quite the steal and still with free shipping?! 0.0 Thanks for sharing this golden info! :D
Thank you for the recommendation and review. I would like to add that the Atlantic sleeves have a chance of scratching your discs as they do not have the felt lining.
canneddirt Somehow I didn't even think about potential scratching! :O Thanks for the observation!
yea finally someone made a video of the sleeves my anime collection overflowing.
Thank you! I have been importing the KOKUYO MEDIA PASS cases, but Disc Sox looks to be much cheaper. Time to get some storage space back!
I have an awsome Horror dvd collection,heres what i do to ditch those black cases; I USE quart sized ziplock baggies w/o writing orthe the logos on front,fold down the dvd cover,slip it into baggie .You can buy dvd paper sleeves at any staples store,they will even order boxes of 100.Dollar tree has the best round little white velcro dots for folding the top over after placing sleeve and dvd into baggie.I have about 400 horror dvds and this takes up very little space.Hope this cheap idea helps someone.
Thanks very much for the very informative review, Tatiana. Just subbed to your channel. I'm seriously considering getting the Discsox sleeves for my Blu-rays and DVDs. My Blu-ray collection is ever-growing by the minute, and it is becoming very frustrating to find space on my shelf for them. I've even resorted to stacking my latest additions on top of one another due to lack of space. The Atlantic ones are nice, but poor execution when it comes to creasing the DVD artwork. And the Megadisc ones are nice in their own way, but I don't like that you can't open them to see the back artwork, etc. So like I said, I think I'm gonna go with the Discsox ones. Gonna go to the Container store to pick some up soon, for my Blu-rays and DVDs. I'm still debating about the ones for CDs, though. Thanks again! :)
Nick Williams Thanks for your lovely comment! I actually use the DiscSox CD sleeves as well (but since I haven't really seen any competitors I didn't make a video about them.)
The space the CD sleeves save isn't as awe-inspiring as that of the DVD sleeves but it *is* still quite substantial nonetheless. I think the lesser amount of space saveage(?? lol) is simply due to the booklets being inherently denser. For me most of the benefit comes solely from getting rid of the jewel cases (I swear they crack if you just look at them the wrong way! haha)
I just posted a cd sleeve/jewel case space comparison pic on my Facebook page if you're interested. :)
Tati/ana Sweet! I'll check out the CD sleeves on your Facebook page. Thanks again. :)
Based on this video, I would love to go for discsox, but they're more than $2 a piece in Canada. I really want to try this storage solution, but I can't justify spending hundreds.
Oh I'm in Canada too. No in-Canada sources? Well discSox is the most expensive kind. I lean to megadisc due to all traits except idiotproofness. As long as I'm careful with them, I can live with the minor drawbacks. An eBay seller in Ontario exists under the name at the bottom of Tatiana's screen. tho it's CAD $21+tx +7shipping for a 50pk. Depending on tx, it's CAD$0.58-0.61 each.
Free shipping sadly ain't as frequent among Cdn sellers.
Thanks I didn't know about these sleeves, When I move out from this place this might be the way to go so I could take my collection with me, It's not as big as your collection but it's still around 2k and slowly growing
Great video! I've got a collection of about 900 and I was able to narrow the size of my collection a little with some Discsox. Thanks to one of your other videos, I'm thinking I might get more now that I know they can for the slipcover as well! I'm just wondering if anyone has figured out a good way to store those bulky TV box sets that are all cardboard fold-outs and plastic trays. So bulky and obnoxious!
Damon Davila Those fold-out boxes are a nightmare! Aside from printing custom artwork and transferring the discs over to one of those newer 6-discs in a standard sized DVD case (if that made sense...), I don't know what else one could do with them. *shrug* The only "solutions" I can think of all require throwing out the original case... :( Sooo I would like to second your comment! If anyone has any grand fixes to this issue *do* let us know in the comments! :D
I switched all of my DVD’s to sleeves years ago. The sleeves I used were from a company called Jazzloft that has gone out of business, but the sleeves are still available from bagsunlimited.com. They’re great but 2-disc releases require a special 2-disc sleeve. I’ve also found that MOD artwork such as from Warner Archive will adhere irreversibly to the sleeves over time.
Didn't know these existed... I also have that exact retro charizard plush in the bottom left woooooooo!!!!!!!!
They are way too expensive - $26+S&H for 25. I don't think so when you have over 2000 dvds.
I have a mill creek I dream of genie boxset. That brought me here since I was looking for like a dvd wallet case small enough to fit in the 5.5 by 6.5 inch box. But this video helps a lot for my other dvds. If you have a recommendation for the I dream of genie case that' d help a ton too. Useful vid. Thanks.
Very good review/comparison. I've been using the Atlantic Movie Sleeves for a few years now, with no major issues. Yes, there is the crease in the disc cover, but how often are you going to put the disc back in the case. I only do it, if I am getting rid of the DVD. Since resale value is pretty nil for most discs, I just donate them--they're worth more as a tax deduction. As for those pesky snap cases, I either scan the art work, or create my own & print it out for the sleeve. I will check out those Megadisc sleeves, as my collection is not getting any smaller. Cheers.
Thank you so much for making this video! Has helped me so much!
Disc rolliness, lol! Idiot proofness!!! Ha ha this is an ultimate review. Thanks!
... You have an absurd number of DVDs. How many of those movies have you even watched? How many do you plan on ever watching? I'm a big fan of physical media too, but the purpose of media is what's on the format, not the format itself.
wow thanks for this awesome video. your awesome. alsk did you remove the link for the dvd sleeve I can't seem to find it..
+BeanflyTV Thanks! Hmm. Are you asking about the MegaDisc sleeves? If you are, just paste the following into Ebay or Amazon or where ever and it should pop right up! :) [I recommend Ebay though. It's cheaper]

Question Tatiana :
What do you do with the bulky boxes after ? Ebay em ? sell em ? Pitch em ? Give em away ? Just curious.
~John~
john michaels Haha. Good question! Well I throw out the ones that are damaged, I sold a small handful of them on Ebay. (I only cleared about 25 cents per case though so *shrugs*), and I use a few for various (tacky) fixes around the house lol, but mostly they sit in a box in the garage right now. I just can't bring myself to throw them away since they're still good. (Although eventually I might just throw away the cases with the recycling symbol cut-out... >.>)
In short, unfortunately I'm still searching for a good way of dealing with them.
@@tativerse wait, u can't recycle these? Why were some missing the symbol? Those missing the symbol are garbage only?
Great video man good job
Are the sleeves prone to scratching the discs when taking them out or putting them back in?
+Lisa Riggle Hi, this is an EXCELLENT question. Unfortunately, despite all my comparisons I don't have an answer for you. I pull the discs out only once in a blue moon, so the wear and tear hasn't been heavy enough for me to notice. It functions more as an archive for me.
If anyone out there uses their sleeves more heavily it'd be great to hear about the possibility of disc scratches! :)
+Lisa Riggle - I originally got the Atlantic sleeves and they did scratch the DVD's (you can go to Amazon and see some pictures a guy took on his review of the scratching). If they would have put a piece that white mesh material inside that would solve that problem. I found Discsox for much cheaper here

and I plan on trying those out but have not yet.
omg... I loved Addicted to Love and you never see that movie anymore... random note...
Excellent video! Thanks
Thanks for the review!!
well done thank you big help.
+Bill Winters Glad to help! :)
How would you do this with four dvd in one set
Great!! But Do you have some link on Amazon? Because I can't find them.
What type were u lookin for?
Very well done!
Thank you!
Thanks for this! Very helpful!
Awesome video
Thanks for the info! Any suggestions on what to do with tv series dvd sets?
+Linds with an e Unfortunately no. *sigh* Aside from printing custom artwork for the foldout cases, I honestly haven't been able to come up with anything that would allow me to keep all the original components. *shrug* I really wish I did have a suggestion though since they take up so much space. (Especially the older releases!) T.T
Brilliant thank you so much
lol you are a riot! :)
I would have gone with the term "Erectness" instead of "Flimsiness". :)
Lol cough Atlantic
Lol are you single? 🥰
