And a lot of us collect movies. I don't see the big deal. (And, yes, I greatly admire nicely designed packaging and inserts, especially those created by our fellow posters.) If space becomes an issue, I can totally understand this person's efforts in compressing their collection. I've done a little compression on my own collection, putting some of my DVDs in cd single jewel cases to save space. I still have the cool looking stuff (at least to me) or special sets out on display while the rest of the discs are out of the way in a different room and their respective cases stored in boxes in the closet. (It also makes my wife very happy!)

I think the cat is on the edge of the bed, just making it look bigger.

Oh sure, but what can he do with a Steelbook?!

New Posts?

New opportunities to threadcrap, more like. I'm sick and tired of people posting "what's the big deal, the movie is all that matters" every time someone posts something to do with packaging. Some of us look at the whole package as "the DVD" while others think it's just the disc. This section is for discussion of covers, cases, and inserts, so the disc-only folks need to leave us alone.

Touche'

Relax homey. You asked a question, I answered. Just because some members choose to catch up on discussions in a different manner than you doesn't mean that they are doing it wrong. I personally click on New Posts. I'm sure there are thousands of others who do as well. It shouldn't matter what subforum the discussion is being held [unless it is a NSFW one like adult]. One should be able to express one's point of view without "this is CASES AND INSERTS!!! Get out if you don't think cases and inserts are holy!" rebukes. Just take it easy. We're all dvd collectors here.

Just as long as you don't do that to the inserts.

That cat is just a tiny kitty, the person with the bookcases and DVDs shrunk his DVDs and artwork in one suave move, thus having his/her cake and eating it too!

And as I said before, live and let live, but it is great that some of us offer alternate ways to accomplish the same or similar goals, or in my case, express what product we are searching for that would make our storage problems easier.

Re-read the definition of "threadcrap", Delta. You don't have to worship them, but anyone who couldn't give two craps about packaging most certainly doesn't have the right to complain when the rest of us geek out about packaging, in a section of the forum specifically designated for such purpose, no less.

:claps:

I use this system. I cannot store 600 + dvd cases. In a perfect world, I would have never done it, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices.

Whitetigeress, I really like your solution, if my collection goes over 600 Ill HAVE to look into something similar for my standard dvds (obviously not boxsets or SE,s) and store the cases in an attic. Im a college student that currently lives at home so space is becoming more and more of an issue.

Do you have a link to the sleeves, and what do you keep all the sleeves in?

I purchased them from http://www.mmdesign.com/ I am slowing converting, I don't have money to do it all at once.

Here is how I keep them right now.



Eventually I will upgrade to this:

.

I do have all my TV on DVD still intact and some of my bigger DVD sets.

Yeah, but you're not slicing up the cover art and/or risking damage to the disk themselves by sliding them across paper every time.

ill be impressed if he can do it to a steelbook

WHITETIGRESS, that's a very nice system you got there - space saving and not destructive...


SHADOW PANTHER, with the steel book covers, I just melt them down and reshape them into pans.

All you have to do is remove the covers and put them in a folder or large manilla envelope (and ditch the empty cases). You just stack them all together flat. Then the only things you need to box are oddball packagings like digipaks and box sets.

Yeah, but I'd like to be able to flip through the covers, so it'll probably be a binder rather than an envelope. A lot of boxed sets (esp. TV season sets), will be tossed, because they often all look the same, with minor differences. I just completed my collection of Seinfeld and won't be buying the complete series set, so I'll probably keep the packaging for the first volume and toss the others once I can get a binder together for all the discs. I'll probably do the same for Knight Rider and Three's Company as well.
