How do you organize your blu-ray and dvd collection?

GGX · 01-01-2009, 10:04 PM

BD and DVD's arranged alphabetically but separate from each other. I see no reason to mix formats. Its the same with my games.

Blu-rays and HD-DVD's in alphabetical order together for now.

DVD by genre and alphabetical order.

Kynch · 01-01-2009, 10:05 PM

"BD & DVD seperate - ordered alphabetically" for me. I prefer it that way. I think most people have it like that. Although judging by some of the pictures I've seen on the galleries, I'm lead to think otherwise.

"BD & DVD separate - ordered alphabetically".

brett_day · 01-01-2009, 10:11 PM

i have all my media in a lockable media case, there are 4 sections in it. the first section i use for ps3 games, the second for pc software, the 3rd for blu rays and the fourth for dvd's. it holds like 800 cd's total, i keep the blu cases in a box out of the reach of the kiddos as well, but all media is alphabetized in each of the four sections

Bluzilla · 01-01-2009, 10:23 PM

Blu-ray seperate from DVD. First numerically, then alpha

.

Heart&Soul · 01-01-2009, 10:30 PM

Alphabetic and separate.

I do mine the same.

BD and DVD mixed, so I can enjoy watching my collection slowly turn Blu as I upgrade.

As for organization, I actually organize by GENRE, then group similarly themed programs together.

So for example, I have my Sci-fi section with epic "outer spacey" sci-fi TV shows first (stuff like Babylon 5, Firefly, etc.), then shifting to the various sub-genres of sci-fi. Star Wars and Star Trek share a shelf, and I have a British Sci-fi shelf as well (lots of Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, Tomorrow People, etc.)

For Horror, I have my Italian Horror section (Argento, Fulci, etc.), my Zombie movies section, Classic (the old Universal monster movies, etc.), and so on.

For cartoons (of which I have a lot), I've got an 80's and 90's cartoon section (Thundercats, He-Man, Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, etc.), and an "adult" cartoons section (Family Guy, Futurama, Ralph Bakshi stuff, Adult Swim stuff, etc.)

It's actually all quite logical and easy to find a particular title within each section. I just find alphabetizing so....boring. I would actually find it MORE difficult to find a title I'm in the mood for that way. This way when I'm in the mood for sci-fi, I just look at the Sci-fi shelves. Horror, the horror shelves. Classics, the Classics shelf, etc.

I did a series of videos about how I have it all organized on my YouTube page a while back. Check it out if you'd like a more visual idea of what I mean.

hidef al · 01-02-2009, 01:23 AM

Seperate

DVD - by genre
HDDVD - by studio
Blu-ray - by studio

Infrared Sight · 01-02-2009, 01:47 AM

I separate BD and DVD.
I sort them alphabetically and by case as well.

wnicholas76 · 01-03-2009, 04:55 AM

I hardly have any DVDs any more. But as far as my Blu-rays go, I used to have the movie titles in alphabetical order in regards to the studio. (For Warner Bros., I'd start with 300 and Batman Begins, etc. And for Sony, I'd start with Casino Royale and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, etc.). But now, I just have every single one of my Blu-rays in alphabetical order, regardless of the studio.

alienofwar · 01-03-2009, 05:24 AM

When my Blu ray collection becomes worthy of size, I will group them into genre and then alphabetize them

Yeha-Noha · 01-02-2009, 12:49 AM

Alphanumeric and separate starting with numeric titles first like 2001:AS0 and 3:10 to Yuma. I have a 6 ft high cherry finish bookcase. My BDs are on the top shelf. My DVD collection is on the next two shelves below those.
