villaajax Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 The DVD organisation thing is a serious business. My collection (300 or so, and growing) is a mess - unlike my 1500+ CDs which are ruthlessly organised: Pop (covers rock, soul, folk, country, etc.) is alphabetical by artist, then chronological release date. As a Crazy Person, bands beginning with numbers go alphabetical too. Jazz is separate, but using the same system. Classical is alphabetical by composer, then composition date, then release date (in the case of multiple versions). But the DVDs are - roughly - by genre, then by the order I last watched them. I think I should sort them chronologically, really (but documentaries kept separate from feature films and TV series). I only have one shelf's worth of film DVDs so they might as well stay in alphabetical order but I have (almost) three shelves' worth of TV DVDs (minus a small section of wrestling). One of my problems is trying to arrange it without splitting groups of DVDs, for example, I have one shelf with some space but the shelf below is packed tight, but I'd have to split my Red Dwarf collection to move some onto the above shelf. I have saved some more space on the top TV shelf for the imminant arrival of season 4 and 5 of Cheers. Then there's all my Wrestling / Football / Rugby DVDs to sort... life can be so difficult! :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I used to organise mine by certification and subdivided further into categories. But I've changed and went alphabetical because it requires less thought and if anyone pops by, they no longer think i'm completely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I've got a few CD's there's not much of a system other than all cd's by a single band are usually together I know where everything is though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 17, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2012 I really want to organise the films by date, as a sort of history of cinema. But what to do with things like the director box sets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Use the directors most productive period or the date of the first film in the set, is what i'd do. Say if it were Godard, it would be the 60s, and I'd use the set as a sort of bridge between 60s/70s films in the collection, or I'd use Breathless as the starting point and whack it in at the end of the 50s. Probably the former, it seems neater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Brasil 2014 mascot revealed. After London 2012's madness, people who hate mascots which arent anthropomorphised animals in a sports kit can breathe easily because yes, its an anthropomorphised animal in a sports kit.

Rob182 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I've had a private message from Ashley Westwood on twitter, saying 'lol your famous now' with a link to a twitter video. But then my phone says that I can't access the video because I don't have the right flashplayer. I don't know if it's a random message that he has spammed to the world, or whether he has ACTUALLY sent me a private message. Hmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 More than likely.. I just got on my works' computer, but they don't have flash either apparantly! Never mind! I thought it might have had something to do with a video of my band that I tweeted a few days ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
