What studio populates the most of your DVD's?
With many boxsets counting as 6 discs -I would say with me its Fox with at least 190 and I would guess WB #2 with at least 100.

Warner and those damn crapper snappers... Easily. I just checked my DVDProfiler statistics and it's a more than 2 to 1 advantage for WB over any other studio.

1. Criterion (122/24.0%)
2. Kino/Image* (60/11.8%)
3. Warner (57/11.2%)
4. MGM/UA (38/7.5%)
5. Columbia TriStar/Sony (28/5.5%)
6. Universal (23/4.5%)

*I realize that Kino Video & Image Entertainment are separate companies, but they've released a number of co-productions, so it was easier to count them as one company

Well, I was going to put the stats down according to my dvd profiler...but then I noticed that it was all messed up because of the word 'Pictures' being listed after the studio name and changing how many were really from there. And it counts box sets as one disc so...it's to much like work to figure it out right now.

I usually shy away from looking through collections on DVD Profiler because I don't care for their layout, but FilmFanSea has a seriously impressive assortment of titles.

Anybody find it interesting that, with the exception of FilmFanSea and his remarkable selection of Criterion's, almost everybody else has more Warner releases, generally by a good margin, than any of the other studios?

I'm not even sure where that 54 number comes from in my collection. I only count 36 snappers on my shelf; the rest must be from box sets, but I honestly couldn't tell you which ones -- they're mainly HBO and Fox releases.
