How Do YOu Store Your DVD Collections? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ant-Lox · 07-09-2006, 09:56 AM

Man, over the past few years, i've built up a huge DVD collection, and recently I ran out of space, and I just found a box of DVD's in my basement I forgot all about.......So Instead of deal with the annoying amount of cases, I just put most them in CD/DVD binders , the ones i really dont watch that much.....

i just filled up a 208 booklet with dvd's...i need to stop buying dvd's....

I have one tower and one shelf...I have a DVD tower, and the other one can be used for CDs/VHS/DVDs. I filled up the DVD tower and I've filled up 1/2 of the media shelf already. I'm going to get a nicer shelf soon, hopefully.

I have two Bookcases that hold all my dvd's and packages...

I used to put them in cd/dvd type binders but I ran out of space, I had 1 208 case and 2 128 cases and I filled all three (464 dvds) and I had more stuff so I just gor rid of them and decide to put them in there original cases...I only had them in the binders because I liked to bring them over friends houses, however keeping them in alphabetical order...

Cool....I threw my cases out though...only for the movie dvds

Yeah, I'm too much of a traditionalist to ditch my movie DVDs and store 'em in binders. But, if push comes to shove, I might do that. I would prefer to keep the sleeves though. I know they have binders where you can put the sleeve on one side and the disc(s) on the other side of the page...but these types don't hold a whole lot of discs.

I have all my TV shows on 2 shelves, Friends takes up one entire shelf. However I'm out of space since I got Charmed season 7 so I'm going to need to find more room

troopoleon8897 · 07-09-2006, 01:13 PM

Lol, I only kept my tv shows in binders, I don't have enough actual movies to have a binder lol, some of my tv dvds got scratched in the cases though, usually only double sided discs ... which at the time was oonly TBNS and Gilligan's Island...

I keep all my DVDs on shelves, but I'm running out of shelf space!!!

moeee · 07-09-2006, 04:15 PM

Most of mine are in storage bins.

freshprinceofLA · 07-09-2006, 05:55 PM

I have DVD binders that I keep them all in, each binder holds 80 dvd's.

dawsongirl · 07-11-2006, 03:33 PM

I have a DVD cabinet that I originally bought to store my homemade DVDs. However, there got to be wayyyyyy too many of those, so I moved those to the bookshelf I had the TV DVDs on, and put the TV DVDs in the cabinet. I still have room for a few. Not my entire wish list....but some.

bencasey · 07-11-2006, 03:53 PM

Binders are horrible for storage as the DVDs are being scratched every time you take them out or put them in. Jewel cases are the only proper storage.

wise3 · 07-11-2006, 09:43 PM

I keep mine in paper sleeves in storage boxes from Staples -- much like shoe boxes, with a movable rear support brace. 25 boxes so far. Retail discs are still in their own cases, so far.
