I started out buying DVD cases and making covers for the cases and storing them on bookcases, but I started getting a lot of stuff lately and we're planning on moving early next year.

Right now, I just store them on 50 disc spindles, but I put no more than 30 on a spindle.

I heard if you use a 100 disc spindle the bottom discs will warp

I put all my dvds in dvd sleeves that you can find at walmart (memorex brand 100 pack) Then I have this rubbermade thing that is long horizontally which you can buy at walmart also.

Dvd cases and binders tend to scratch discs. This is the best method to store dvds.

I keep mine in the paper sleeves in shoeboxes. They are in my closet next to my computer, not the best place, but not the worst either. On a simliar note has anyone seen these before, I think they sound like a great idea.

Lots of my stuff is still in plastic containers.

I would recommend to anyone that whatever you keep your collection in, it be at least 3-4 feet off the floor.

i do protect myself from

fire, theft, flood, etc

when new discs come into my house, i make a working copy, and i store the originals in a seperate location, about 50 miles away

so if something were to happen to my house, i wouldnt loose much at all

the machines, etc, are all insured for replacement cost, just like everything else in the house

I store mine in individual paper case and put them horizontally in Sterilite Plastic Cases, and I put it in my closet and near my PC. I think it is sold in Walmarts and Big Lots. The dvd's fit perfectly when the cover's on.

All of you organized people are pissing me off!

Whenever i get any new dvds from trades in, i make a dupe of them and get rid of the originals. I have a specific form that i use in my collection of my homeade dvds, all are in black slim cd cases with label printed on using my thermal printer and all have the same layout on the dvd label. And i had purchased a lot of shelves from wal mart, just regular wood shelves put them on my wall. They are about 6 feet long and i have 10 of them. THan i purchased another, and cut it and screwed it onto the end so the stuff doesn't fall out and i can pack them in. I have 5 of the 10 complete filled, THat's how i store my commerical dvds and my dvd-rs.

We have to do that here in Colorado because of the bears. One thing I HATE is when bears watch my discs. They always end up getting scratched!

hey greg

what out or ill send a photo of my set up

its a lot like the old card catalog system at the library

heavy wire shelving from sams club

and 20 inch boxes hold the discs upright in paper sleeves

every disc in order and dividers between sets

with that much stuff, it would be a night mare if it wasnt organized

over 13000 disc are 10 seconds or less away from my hand

i've actually been building my own bookcase shelves; i fasten them to the walls flush to the ceiling (yes they are off the ground, we sometimes get floods too)

...the disks i mostly just put in paper sleeves and hope that i remembered to label them.
