Show your collection (pictures)

Posted by: bibididone ()

Date: August 27, 2014 05:10

The idea is to show pictures of our own DVD collection. Count if ordered by date or label, and would also like to give their opinion on the scope of the collection and finally what good have a collection of dvd as this is becoming obsolete, or rather, there are better resources best quality, thank you very much

Some of my DVDs (most are not burned, but are on my external HDDs; if I want to see one, I burn it on a DVD-RW):

Hi Coowouters,
Nice idea to conserve space by keeping all shows on hard drive instead of burning and placing them on shelves. However hard drives are not perfect and can come damaged or corrupted unless you have an extra hard drive or backup plan.

Just my opinion.

I've been saving all my stuff on HDs for about 10 years by now - at the moment I have 8 HDs (ranging for 1TB to 3 T cool smiley

and I'm making a backup for a close friend of mine instantly as soon as I'm saving something for me. There's always a backup-HD from him on my desktop. In all those years 1 HD got damaged and I had to reconstruct 1997 - 2002 from his HDs.

If I want to listen or watch to a show - well, my PC is connected to my HiFi and my bluray-player plays each and every format from my 64GB USB-stick - so I can even watch BluRays directly from my stick.

When I want to listen to music in my car I connect my cell-phone which plays flac format.

No need to burn anything anymore smiling smiley

Same here. Everything is saved on HDs. I started transferring all my stuff in 2007.

@silkcut1978: We wrote about some tapes from 2003 on EL some months ago. Can you maybe contact me please?

I just buy external HDD and transfer (using explorer) the files to the external (which is connected through USB ).
If you don't want to buy real external HDD, but you have some (good) internal HDD from older computers, you can always buy a docking station and use that to transfer from your internal HDD to those "older" HDD.

I opened a map/folder and used a "screen capture" software to capture that part. (just google it and you'll find plenty of them)

It's very nicer to have the dvd's in your hand and silver pressed with nice colored dvd's than to have it on HDD.IMO.

yes - but to a certain extend only IMO. I still like beautiful silvers but I really went back to my roots and I'm listening to vinyl with so much more fun that meanwhile I don't make a difference between CDs/DVDs/HDs anymore. It's all digital waste - no matter if on a CD or on an external drive winking smiley

But that's me...
