Re: how does everyone organize their dvd collection?

On line I used to use DVD Profiler, but never really kept it up to date, then I justed stopped using it.

At home a few shelves for my fav's and a few wee special ones. The rest are kept in boxes and its a nightmare looking for things

In boxes and strategically placed piles round the house. Although I really don't have that many compared to some of you guys.

Re: how does everyone organize their dvd collection?

I store my favs and special editions on shelving alphabetically. The rest are taken out of there casing, this is then stored in cardboard boxes. The discs are then put into cd aluminium DJ cases. The benefit of this is there easy to sort through and find.

Re: how does everyone organize their dvd collection?

They were alll alphabetised once but, now they are so many, they are mixed up now. I really need to re-organise.

I do have all my Asian DVD's on one shelf though.

Re: how does everyone organize their dvd collection?

I bought 5 of those "72 DVD/CD HOLDER WALLET" things and a couple of 36 as well and put all my DVDs in them and all the DVD boxes now put away in the loft
one wallet is comedy another is Sci-Fi and horror and another is Blu-Ray , you get my drift

Now I can find any movie I own in less then a minute

Similarly shelved by genre.

Top shelf - split 50/50 Vampire/Zombie
Second shelf - Other horror/18 rated action.
Third shelf - Hong Kong action
Fourth shelf - Comedy/TV shows/Other action
Fifth shelf - Animation and everything else.

Don't ask me why I keep the 18 rated stuff out of the reach of children, when I have none

Guess it's just so that I don't have to bend down when I need my "gore fix"

Re: how does everyone organize their dvd collection?

Sounds logical!

Mine are all in alphabetical order, but I keep them in a cupboard and out of sight because I hate it when people borrow them and don't return them

Re: how does everyone organize their dvd collection?

By mood. Mostly this means that it appears to be grouped by genre; but there's some films that defy the genre definition and fall under another mood which they elicit in me.
