I've been doing this with my CD's. I'll also be doing it with my DVD's and Blu Ray's soon enough. You've got the disc, the sleeve and the artwork, that's all you need. The case is worthless and easily replaced if you want to resell for profit later down the line.
I've started using the paper insert as the container for the DVD, then arrange them as if they were in a filing cabinet. Working out the details but you can't get thinner while keeping the art.
Absolutely fantastic idea I can get 12 movies in the same space as five before. I am brand new to your channel and I’m here to stay. Thank you so much for this upload I look forward to watching the rest of your content.
This is a good idea, especially because you're keeping the artwork. A lot of collectors throw the artwork away with the plastic cases and use small sleeves. Storage space is becoming a real problem, as my movie room is quite small. My solution to the problem is to continually go through my collection and give away the movies I know I'll never want to watch again. I do the same with books, records and CDs. Lately I've become very critical of some of my collecting habits. It's a good feeling. But I realize everyone doesn't feel the same way. I love your shelves, by the way. Good luck with your storage project! I've been a subscriber for a while, but I believe this is the first comment I've left on your channel.
Thanks very much for your comment and subscribing too 😁😁 I couldn't get rid of the art, the would to me damage the quality of the collection haha if you know what I mean. It is good to be self critical, I know even just the fact that I'm doing this is making me feel the same about picking up new movies and blind buys. Cheers mate 😊
Alphabetical order would be the only way to go so you could find a film easily! Nicer idea than having to cut the art sleeve to fit in a thin case 👌🏻 Would you consider the semi-flexible cd cases to better protect the disc inside the sleeve (because then they'd have the central disc clip/ holder) ?
Hi JT, I have done the same to a lot of my Blu's. Mostly all the single disc titles I have. The 2 disc and more I keep in the cases. In some instances I have used custom covers for films with sequels they have gone into slim 2 disc cases. Films with 3 or more discs are a little harder to do.
I think it's a good idea bud. If you're not likely to rewatch them but want to keep hold of them it seems like a no brainer. You'll save tonnes of space too!
I think that's a great idea JT, you still get to appreciate the cover and it's less space taken up. For my overflow of DVDs, I store them in a storage wallet. It holds about 120, and I keep the artwork in there too. I like the idea that I can always swap them into the main collection shelf if I change my mind on a movie I wasn't keen on originally.
I do the same if I don't like a movie, then I trade in cex, like I don't watch I just sell them in cex, I'm have DVDs, no space, to put my DVDs in, this is a fantastic thought you doing matey, 👍 I think it looks good that Supergirl film, I think it's very good Idea, to store your movies very good👍
Great idea James. I never actually thought of that way. My dvds are in a silver cd ton but the trouble with that is, you don’t have the art work with the movie. The art work can also get ruined a little too. Your way is better I think. I can’t understand why movies aren’t like cds now as so much plastic is waisted. I can understand why you want to do this as the room is taken up. I want those sleeves now I think.😀👍
Cheers Carl, I think I'm just about convinced to do it mate. Do you want me to send you the Amazon link to the sleeves buddy? Hopefully you've regained your sense of taste too after the sweets hahaha
Hope you had a great holiday mate and in regards to the slip strip idea I dont see why not it's just whatever is best for you I guess, I mean if you really need the storage then it would probably be a good idea. Every collector has their own preferences with their collection displays so if it's the most effective storage solution and still holds the artwork then it's still retaining the film in the collection. Despite anything though it's up to you so go with what feels best.
Was a great time mate cheers. Yeah it's a tough one as I want the integrity of the collection to be kept but also storage is something that will become an issue eventually. Cheers for your thoughts mate 😊
When push comes to shove you have to do what you have to do. I remember in the older days the DVD sleeves would scratch the disc. As long as that plastic won’t cause damage it doesn’t seem bad. For future you could also replace the plastic case to go back how it was if needed.
My own collection is nearing 1400 DVDs, Blu-rays & 4K and so space is becoming a premium issue. Like many collectors I've doubled-up on many films for various reasons. Where I can, I've doubled (or in a couple of cases tripled-up) the discs in the Blu-ray box. A simple case of buying a number of box inserts and then having all the discs in one box. Arrow's Big Trouble in Little China is a squeeze with the Blu-ray, the 2-disc DVD and the booklet, but it fits (just) and all's good. I keep the covers, inserts and booklets in a folder in A4 plastic sleeves (alphabetised, of course) to keep them safe and unfolded. The DVD cases have gone to be recycled. I use the same shelving system that you have, JT and took the decision to have two rows of boxes on each shelf. It's a bit of a pain when I get new editions, but such is the joy of collecting physical media! 🤣 A second idea, which is one I've adapted for my daughter is to use a couple of disc carry cases that hold up 400 discs in individual sleeves. I've done the A4 sleeve thing with the covers, and this has managed to keep her son's interested hands away from the chance of damaging any of the discs, and it takes up a fraction of the space. I hope this provides some food for thought. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks so much for commenting and sharing your thoughts Bruce. Much appreciated. And for subbing too. Interesting idea condensing into multiple cases. I will likely recycle the dvd cases too. Personally not a fan of the disc wallet things that you zip up like a binder. I used to keep my collection in 3 of those but in the end it didn't work out for me. Cheers again

Wish companys would make all their cases thinner, i know some do but many dont and its annoying, also some come with cardboard sleeves then some dont, also these cardboard sleeves get damaged easily
Kind of looks like the copy's I use To buy in the mid 00's. I threw all of them in the bin. I had 100s. I think once you put them in a box you will probably never watch them again.
This is something that's crossed my mind Mark yeah, but they are already in the box that they would be going back in and I do dip in to it of I want a movie from there. I dunno we'll see what happens. Might do a few more and see how they look and feel. Know what you mean about the old copies, my old man used to get them too haha
Haha yeh I get that. Our lass was chuffed when they were moved out of our room into the movie room. I'm not allowed to spill out of that from now. Funnily enough we've discussed moving, but not to accommodate my movies hahah 😂
@@JTATTHEMOVIES it won't be long until I am out of space, I'm planning in having a movie room, just need to clear out the spare room which is full of my daughter's toys. I use to have a big VHS collection, they went from shelves, to storage boxes, to the shed outside, to giving them all away 😭

Great idea
@@JTATTHEMOVIES DVD sleeves I use is Disc Sox
good idea. i subbed you .
Cheers mate appreciate that 😊
I did/do the same thing. I use CD sleeves.
I did a video on my channel on this.
Ooh nice one mate, I shall go and have a look at that buddy. You happy with the results?
Personally I think that's a good idea in regards to dvds that aren't being watched regularly
Cheers mate appreciate you sharing your thoughts
