I've been taking all the paper and disks out of the case, and throwing the case away. I get these sleeves from Amazon, and put them in a box (also from Amazon). I finished my DVD collection, and just kept going from there. I've long since run out of room to display all of them.  (Comparison of space saved by doing just the MCU films.)

You are more likely to end up with damage that makes then unreadable than having them in a traditional / jewel case. My DVDs are all ripped to ISO files and on Kodi networked across my house. I don't need the DVDs anymore, and as soon as I can get enough store space, the blurays will be the same. The DVDs are also already starting to suffer disk rot, and I couldn't rip a few of them that have been in the cases for years prior to that.

Rusty Staub posted:how on earth do you people have this kinda hard drive space EL BROMANCE posted:Best Buy do an 8TB western digital external on sale for between $150-170 every so often. It’s a hell of a deal. I did something like this back in the day (but smaller drives, like 2GB). But now I just have a Synology NAS with four 4 TB drives in it. The other benefit is that it runs the SQL server for Kodi, and my transmission torrents, Sonarr, etc. So not only do these things have the storage space, but they're great accessory machines. I also run my home automation out of it, so I'm not just locked into Nest's/Ikea's/Philip's products. They're really versatile on top of all the storage.

EL BROMANCE posted:The Best Buy drives used to have WD Reds inside them which were easy to shuck (take apart and remove the bare drive) which are ideal for NAS and a good chunk cheaper than buying the drive on its own. An absolute win. They’re now usually Whites and seem good enough still. I just run them in their enclosures for now, but a future 4x 8TB NAS is tempting. Good to know. I'm not hitting the limit of my space yet, but I haven't ripped my blurays yet either. (My wifi probably couldn't handle that, and I need to upgrade that first before I even consider it).

Boinks posted:Please post examples of your "disc rot" and also what region? Disc rot is a big boogy man in the CD collecting community but it's mostly a myth because it only affects certain pressings and labels, mostly in the UK iirc. Sorry, I was looking through the stuff this weekend. Unfortunately I don't have anything I can photograph really. They weren't scratched, but I tried one of those disk doctor things to try to buff them regardless (maybe taking away anything you could see (and then I threw the thing out because it's useless)). But my older disks such as Simpsons season 1 & 2, Sherk 1, cannot be read anymore. When I started ripping them to ISO, they lived in their cases, and on my shelves. I only put them in sleeves well after I had everything on Kodi. EDIT: I'm region A. IUG fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Apr 8, 2018 |

Basebf555 posted:That was one of my first DVDs too, I loved that set and probably watched the 9 episodes like ten times each. That show is better than anything Smith has been involved with since. It was just six episodes, and the clip show was the second episode. So it only had clips of the episode from before it, and made up stuff. That show was much better than the films (not a high bar, but still). I'm willing to bet you guys graduated high school around 2001 as well?

CelticPredator posted:On a random note, I finally got my gravity Falls Blu rays. Pretty good commentaries so far. And the lithograph is quite big, which was nice. A little bent though but oh well. Same for us, one side of the tube was dented. My wife and I spent a few days watching each episode with commentary. (Make sure you press down on the Double Dipper commentary to get that second commentary). It's great to have a bluray with easter eggs again. Just disappointed that the pilot apartently isn't on the disk.

There's almost every special feature, the only thing it doesn't seem to have is the pilot. Be sure to look for easter eggs in the menus. The easter egg for the "Double Dipper" episode is amazing. It's a second commentary for that episode by Jason Ritter, and that's all I'm saying.

obi_ant posted:I don't know if this is the right place, but I had a question about digital movies. Typically I buy only movies in 4K and they come with a digital code. Does the matter where I register this digital code? From my understanding there are certain websites will not give you the 4K steaming copy and only a 1080p streaming copy. I have about 90% of my codes registered on moviesanywhere.com, but are they a 4K copy? Or should I register on different websites to ensure I get the 4K copy. Apple upgraded anyone's collection to 4k when they announced the Apple TV 4k. However, they also work with Movies Anywhere. So if you link them, they'll show their movies on any other Movies Anywhere service. Big Mean Jerk posted:For me, it’s definitely a streaming vs owning thing. I don’t want my choice of movies to be beholden to a given app’s catalog selection or whether or not my internet connection is cooperating that day. And since the cost of buying a film from iTunes or some other app is only marginally less than just buying a physical disc, there’s little point to building a digital library (and most big studio releases include a digital code now anyway). Time to trigger people in this tread again.

Monday_ posted:You know how old people's clothing style seems to get locked into whatever they wore when they were in their 20s or 30s and they stop trying to keep up with the times? Well the other day I saw a guy that had to be close to 60 and he was wearing a chullo hat, baja jacket and cargo shorts, like he'd just crawled out of a Counting Crows video. On my wife and my very first date about 3 years ago we went to a casino and they were having Def Leppard playing there. It looked like everyone exited their time machine from the 80s to see their favorite band, BUT IN THE FUTURE! Feathered hair everywhere. I don't know what these people do after the concerts are done (besides, I'm guessing, meth).

I've posted it before in this thread, but just use these instead of those binder bags: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JR2V7C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 With blurays you can fold right along the spine where a crease is already, and have the side show right on front. DVDs you do have to fold in the middle of the spine however. I reduced my entire DVD and bluray collection to about 7 boxes, because I was sick of looking at them all the time in my living room.

Liar Lyre posted:...as long as you don’t act like a dickhead. I mean, look at his avatar. I've worked in Target and Bestbuy (for a holiday season) years ago. They do annual audits to try to keep the numbers right where they have an outside company count everything in the store, including stuff not on sale. If you've ever been in a store and you see white tags on a rack, that's what those are for. Most inaccuracies are because of theft. If it was stolen and they didn't catch it, they have no way of knowing that they now have 5 copies of a film instead of 6.

It’s boring, but it’s pretty much the perfect size and the shelves are adjustable to fit movies, books, whatever. This, but a whole shitload (9) of Gnedby shelves. I don't recommend that as it's expensive to get enough to put them across the wall/in the corner/etc. I started out with maybe 4 and then got enough so they went around the corner.

I do the Disney Movie Club because I'm dumb and also somehow a boomer in my 30s. I just got an email from them saying that they're putting out A Goofy Movie and An Extremely Goofy Movie on bluray exclusive for members. The price is "24.99", but for members it's $9.98 each film, but again, you have to be a member to even see the page, let alone order it.

LionArcher posted:I was about to join Disney club. The 4 for $1 buck is a good deal on the marvel and classics I don’t own. Once I sign up, will I be able to grab the goofy movies still? Really want those on Blu-ray! Yeah, but the rule of it is that you have to buy 5 movies at regular price in order to have your account "fulfilled". Then you get the VIP deals. But if you buy Marvel, Star Wars, etc films on the day they come out (and can deal with some extra time to ship), you were going to buy them at full price anyways. If you want to join, I have a referral link that will give me two free movies when you do: http://fbuy.me/mFOj_ I also pair this with the Disney Movie rewards. They're the points you get in your disks that get you Disney merch, and even more blurays. I spent one snowy winter day going through all my Disney/Pixar/Marvel films and gathering codes, and I got over $60 worth of free merch shipped to me.

I'm doing it, but with Kodi, and full ISO images of the disks. Kodi isn't the best at interactive menus, but it's fine for like 90% of them, and much better than actually pulling out the disks and putting them in a player.

What's a good place to look up if a bluray exists in non-region A (so not blu-ray.com), if it can be played in a region A player such as the Xbox One X or PS4k, and where's a good place to import?

Boinks posted:Has anyone heard of any manufacturing problems with Disney DVDs? I found a used copy of Sleeping Beauty from 2003 and both discs look perfect but neither will register that a disc has been inserted on any of my 4 players or computers. It's really strange that they would both be bad. I had some problems with my recent Marvel films. I think I had issues with Infinity War UHD and Blu-ray, and also had a lot of video and audio artifacting with my copy of Mulan. I normally play on my Xbox One X, but then the PS4 Pro couldn't play them at all. (I didn't try with Mulan, I just forced through it.)

So I just found out Kodi added support for bluray java menus in 18. I already ripped my DVD collection to my NAS, and want to do it with blurays too. Thinking of how I rip CDs, there's an AccurateRip service that tells you if your disk matches what other people's disks are, so you can tell if there's any irregularities. Is there service that does with with bluray ripping as well? (And bonus if it can scan my DVD ISOs and tell me if there's a problem in them too.)

No movies (not even Disney+). Their social media guys have stated that movies may return as a reward, but y'know, they didn't exactly promise. And it sucks, cause just before they suddenly switched, the were bringing in uhd discs as rewards. Ah boo. I haven't redeemed a movie in a while, so I didn't see the change. Wow, the new site sucks.
