This makes your DVD collection like a record collection.

To everyone saying “I could never bring myself to do that”…well, keep buying discs. You’ll get there. 😆

You're just going to have to give up luxuries like bedrooms and turn them into movie storage rooms. You can always sleep in the kitchen, at least until you need it for even more disc storage. :-)

Just ordered a 100 pack for DVDs.
Such a great idea for having a large collection.
Thanks for the valuable suggestion 😀

I did this a few years ago with most of my collection that didn’t have slip covers and I’ve never regretted it. Of course my collection is currently only around 1500 movies. I mainly kept premium titles on the shelves and by doing that has allowed me to keep collecting. I also unloaded a few hundred titles before doing this. But yeah love having it all so easily accessible.

I use 336 discs carrying cases for most of my discs especially DVDs. I do keep some boxed sets intact. I give away the cases and keep the disc and cover slip. It's not perfect but I live in a studio and have limited space. Your solution is great too it definitely saves a lot of space. Great topic and cool video Heath!👉😃👈

I've been collecting for years and have always just randomly put it wherever works best. But now I'm starting to have space concerns. I'm gonna incorporate new shelving for now, but in the future this idea could be invaluable. Thank you for sharing it. I'm definitely keeping it in the back of mind from now on.

Wow! What an awesome way to store those disc u don’t have room for yet you wanna keep. This is excellent

[Warrrkotka]

I would love to see an update video after 6 months or a year of using this solution.

[PacoVJ]

This is a great idea! I have DVD's that i don't watch very often but i don't want to get rid of them and they are using lots of space. This is perfect to still keep them and at the same time save valuable space for the things that i do want in the shelves. I think the only thing i would prefer is some kind of box that i could stack on top of another one to save more space there.

[screamingeekmedia]

Great idea! I would consider. But the thing for me is losing the ability looking at the spines when browsing for something to watch, which I find myself doing often. Even with older DVDs I sometimes want to watch something I hadn't seen in long time. I am not sure if I would like flipping through like records. But, it is something to think about. I appreciate the video!

[twilightone]

Neat idea, side note they have binders with similar ideas and some even look like leather books on the outside. Alittle more pricey but figure i mention it. Your idea gave me the thought of looking for other types.

[kevinintheusa]

Wow, I may do this. I was in the military for almost 30 years and I amassed a collection of over 5, 000 DVDs/Blu-Rays such that we boxed them up and put them in an airconditioned storage bin. A few years ago, I built a LAN and we used 4 old laptops to digitize most of them so we can watch them without even using the original disks but have them in case we lose a file or the LAN fails for some reason. This is a great idea and I believe it can get our disks back in our house.

Hi, Heath I use Disc Socks. They can accommodate multiple discs in their own divider within the sleeve. They can also be expanded. They are more expensive but considering the protection and compact form they are worth it to me. There are a few YouTube videos on them. Thanks for your great channel and long live physical media!

[numbersix]

Thanks. Very. I was thinking about tacking vertical racks on the sides of my bookcases 🙃

[pauljakeman]

I put mine in cd wallets. They hold 100, all in one package.
I had to get rid of the art wrap but I used that solution on films that aren’t my absolute favourites. Really glad I did as I moved to a smaller place and really needed to fit more into less space.

[rickershomesteadahobbyfarm]

Me and my wife have to go through our movies every few years. We get rid of anything that we don’t want to watch again and anything we have accidentally bought more than one copy of. We plan on making some custom media shelves to get everything organized better.

Great hack! I've always resisted un-casing my discs for storage reasons, but this is the best case (hehe) I've seen yet for it!
