OMG that sounds like my worst nightmare

I couldn't bare to have that many dvds cluttering up my home. Even my CDs are in a drawer out of sight

I have moved on and now stream everything, no need to have DVDs or Cds

I have to admit to also culling my books and now only have two low book cases in my bedroom and they are now mostly cook books

You could try filing them into Pink boxes, Blue boxes, Green boxes etc. That should keep you busy for a few hours!

All my DVDs and CDs are in those multi holder jobby things as in the original cases they take up too much room.

Good grief Tabby...you have a condition called Collectiveitus. Go see a doctor...at once !!

ditch em all and start again but next time much much slower!

Best Free DVD Collection Software

Introduction
I have been collecting DVDs for many years, and I now have a wall full of them. The first time I bought a DVD that I had already bought, it became obvious to me that I needed to organize my collection better. So I thought about what I needed in a software package. My needs were relatively simple. The software should have the following characteristics:

• free
• user-friendly interface
• easy input
• support for free online information
• filtering, statistics and reports

The potential problem with that is - I would have to watch them again to make sure I didn't want to watch them again - if you see what I mean!!

I do not have either a TV set or a TV license, Missy, so that is not an option. They don't clutter though - just sit quite neatly on shelves in what would otherwise be wasted space.

Thanks, Omah, that software looks good. Now you have me thinking - I am sure I have Microsoft Access somewhere in this heap of chips - I could set up a proper database! That'll give me something to do during the long winter nights!

If you are like most Americans, you have a large collection of DVDs in your house. If you have been interested in taking some steps to efficiently organize your collection, you probably looked into alphabetizing or to writing down the titles on a piece of lined paper or index cards. Microsoft Access offers a great, easy and interactive way to keep track of your collection in a digital, manageable format.

My DVD collection ( almost 2000 now) has become totally rebellious and is trying to take over the world!

I have a long, narrow, hall that runs from front to back of the house. One wall is all shelved and houses the DVDs. When I began the collection - they were filed in alphabetical order.

As the collection expanded I separated them into genre - crime, adventure, horror, sci-fi, comedy etc.,

Then I had the bright idea of collecting specific actors work - John Thaw, Maggie Smith, Martin Shaw etc., but they are multi talented and work across most genre - so how the heck do I file them?

Light bulb moment - I write a comprehensive index!

But - do I make that strict alphabetical? Do I write it by genre? Do I compile it by actor?

Will I live long enough to finish the wretched thing?

If there is anyone still awake out there - save me from myself - and advise me what to do for the best - PLEASE!!!

1. Any you don't watch anymore give them to the charity shop.
2. Put all the ones you don't watch anymore into boxes and store them in the loft.
3. Sort the rest into alphabetical order.
