I can't find the discs themselves, but it only takes a keystroke to look up the fine details of their contents! The program is a big help, but it doesn't do anything about the insanity on the disc shelves. Now all of my 3500 discs are beautifully organized - in my Mac. Last year I invested in a bar code reader and Bruji's excellent DVD database program DVDpedia. Like the Los Angeles landfill, we're now in crisis mode again. When they maxed out I had no choice but to start stacking discs two deep.

A full wall of shelving came in 2003 and has been filling up ever since. After they overflowed a shelf I started swiping plastic soft drink trays to stack them in.
The DVDs got out of hand almost immediately, like Gremlins. That odd attitude accounts for the 300 or so lasers still boxed in the corner of the room. After spending all that money I just couldn't do the smart thing and Ebay the suckers as fast as possible. As for the laserdiscs, I accumulated only about 400, mainly because they were so expensive. I only kept 'special' tapes, and most were tossed when replaced by better-looking laserdiscs. I needed just two modest cabinets to hold my VHS collection. Hopefully other DVD collectors can learn from my bad example.Īfter avoiding collecting anything for so long, DVDs have finally done me in. I mean, starving people would probably enjoy watching Imelda Marcos forced to eat some of her enormous shoe collection. This is a typical collector's problem, and not the kind that attracts sympathy. I have at least two different editions of Frankenstein, and I can't seem to locate either of them. With five very large, very tall shelves packed two deep with a collection amassed over eleven years, I frequently spend twenty minutes in search of a particular disc. Or, the Practical Pitfalls of DVD CollectingĪs I stare at what looks like a couple of acres of poorly organized DVDs, I wonder where I went wrong.
