How many hours of material do you own on DVD?
For example, there's approximately 50 hours of material on the Alien Quadrilogy box. It would take over two days straight to watch all of the documentaries in that thing. The Black Hawk Down Deluxe Edition has at 12 hours of extras and commentary...it would take the better part of a day to complete watching that set.
Now what if you wanted to do the same with your other DVDs. How long would it take? Is it even possible?

This question is a bit much to ask those of us who belong to this forum. I have over 1700 DVDs and there is no way realistically for me to even estimate how much material I have on all of these DVDs unless I added them all up after comparision to various DVD sites.
For the record, I went through the Quadrilogy in 4.5 days. But please note that I'm currently unemployed and have lots of free time available in between job searches / interviews.

I have 257 in my collection, and as far as I know there is no function in Profiler to add up all the minutes together.

Basically, the real question is; "Who in here has absolutely no life whatsoever?" Only someone without even the thinnest thread of a life would even begin to do the work it would take to answer that question. That is unless you own only one or two DVD's.

Arbitrarily, I'll guess my DVDs average 6 hours each (including movie, commentary's etc). Some have much more, a few have less. So that leaves me with close to 5000 hours betw. movies and extras, or around 208 days (with no sleep, no work, etc.) to watch everything. No sweat.

Just export the minutes to a CSV file, then pull it up in Excel, and sum the appropriate column...

"How many total pixels do you have in your DVD collection?"
and a senior member will respond:
"Does that include the insert?"
