Never thought i'd do it, but I finally got around to getting one of these. Have been trying to arrange it alphabetically, but that's become so tedious i'm just going to put anything in for the last 100 I have left to do. DVD cases are in cardboard boxes stored in the garage.

Has anyone ever tried the Bellagio - Italia leather book-like binders?  We have decided to get rid of my old DVD shelves because my 2yr is always messing with the DVDs and we worry about the high shelves tipping over.

I did basically the same as Mikessou (And noticed we have very similar collections - and RightStuf! boxes all over).  I dedicated one room and set it up library style with multiple rows.  Each row is a bit longer then the last to make room for the tread mill (It needs to move out).

I had originally wanted to do something like Can-Am.ca does but way to expensive. 

Entrance and shorted row:



View down access to each row (and a nice view of the shelf I need to fix...)

Last row (with extra racks on top):

Is this guy a Invelos/DVDP forum member? This is a crazy collection, and looks more like a shop....must have cost him a mint!!

My DVD and Blu-ray collection consists of 4,449 discs at present.  The DVD's (705) I also own on Blu-ray are stored in Sony DVP-CX985V 400-disc DVD changers.  The Blu-ray's (2,624) and DVD's (1,120) I don't already own on Blu-ray are stored in Sony BDP-CX7000ES 400-disc Blu-ray changers.  See the images below.  Quite a small footprint for the storage and playback of 6,400 discs wouldn't you say.





All the retail packaging is in storage.  The physical discs are not organized within the changers alphabetically.  They are indexed.  I catalog my collection using DVD Profiler of course.  Within DVD Profiler each disc is given its own profile and assigned a Collection ID. (Only my disc level profiles are given a Collection ID.) The Collection ID tells me the location of the disc, i.e. the changer and slot number.

Collection ID's for my Blu-ray changers...
BD01 (Slots 1-400) -> Collection ID's 0001-0400
BD02 (Slots 1-400) -> Collection ID's 0401-0800
BD03 (Slots 1-400) -> Collection ID's 0801-1200
BD04 (Slots 1-400) -> Collection ID's 1201-1600
BD05 (Slots 1-400) -> Collection ID's 1601-2000
BD06 (Slots 1-400) -> Collection ID's 2001-2400
BD07 (Slots 1-400) -> Collection ID's 2401-2800
BD08 (Slots 1-400) -> Collection ID's 2801-3200
BD09 (Slots 1-400) -> Collection ID's 3201-3600
BD10 (Slots 1-400) -> Collection ID's 3601-4000

The "Personal Information" section for each profile has a place to note the actual Location and Slot number, so I've started updating those spots for each of my profiles as well.  When I purchase a new disc its profile is assigned the next available Collection ID, the physical disc being placed in the next available changer slot.  Done deal.  I then browse my collection via DVD Profiler finding something to watch that way. (My DVD Profiler database is available online for those interested in checking it out.  Link action below in my forum signature.  Not mobile device friendly.  If viewed from a mobile device I'd suggest performing a press and hold of the given item in the left pane opening the page in a new tab.  Works well.)

When I find a disc I'd like to watch I make note of the Collection ID or Location and Slot number.  Powering on the particular changer, then playing the disc is done using my universal remote.  I created an activity for my universal remote where I can just enter the Collection ID or Location and Slot number.  The remote does the rest.  Once entered and pressing "OK" the remote powers on the changer in question (and the rest of my system if needed), the disc being pre-selected within the changer activity I'm taken to.  Once the changer is powered on and at the Sony XMB it will accept the command to play a given disc.  The disc is already pre-selected within the activity in my universal remote.  As such, I perform a press and hold of the "OK" button which sends the direct disc selection command to the changer.  The changer loads the disc and starts playback. (I describe this process in a little more detail here.)

That's quite a hardware collection, but I'm sure Sony thanks you LowPro.  The multi-disc changers didn't last too long after Blu-ray arrived on the scene.

A number of years ago I unloaded my changers into a couple of these.  I was in between homes at the time and didn't have a place to setup all my gear.  Those of you that use these.  I would suggest you follow the same practice as I do with my changers.  Just number the sleeves indexing the contents.  Each disc would get its own numbered sleeve, then make note of the "Location (...which case)" and "Slot (...numbered sleeve)" in DVD Profiler under the given profiles "Personal Information\Discs" section.

You purchase a new title on DVD or Blu-ray.  The disc gets placed in the next available numbered sleeve.  Add the profile to DVD Profiler making note of the location and numbered sleeve where the disc resides.  Done deal.  If you want to browse your collection alphabetically, do so from DVD Profiler.  If you want to browse your collection by Genre, do so from DVD Profiler.  If you want to browse your collection by any given number of criteria, do so from DVD Profiler.  When you find a disc you'd like to watch DVD Profiler tells you where it's located.  Pull your case out, remove the disc, drop it in your player.  Bada bing, bada boom.
