How do you store your DVD's

[2hot6ft2]

I RIP mine then put the discs in those leather cd notebooks that hold about 200 per notebook and store them that way. I pack the bulky jewel cases in rubermaid action packer containers.

May i ask what you do with your old cases? Just curious.
My plan was to put them in to a sleeve and put the cover in a storagefolder and essentialy toss away the original case.

What's a case? Seriously though I throw them out as soon as I open them. To me the case is just a box that the DVD/CD comes in.

I use the really thin CD cases.

i, for the life of me, cant figure out how to rip the dam dvd's. i have tried Acid rip and DVD rip and nada. I am freakin sick of having a bookcase of dvd's on display when I have a 500GB hard drive i would drop them onto but I can't figure it out. Lame.

Any advice?

DVDrip,
rocks

i rip all mine onto a 1tb drive, but i still keep the originals in there box,
stacked up but then, space isn't a real problem at my house.

buy most of mine from charity shops thou,

it's a really good way, costs less than a rental and you get to keep the disk.

Music is stored on the computer in FLAC for lossless quality, the cds and covers go in a really nice Fellowes mock leather 224 disc wallet for storage using minimal space. When storing music I put the cover on top and the cd in the bottom sleeves, reducing disc storage to 112.

DVDs I store in two identical Fellowes wallet, I would like to store relevant data losslessly on my machine but I haven't found a good way to do this yet nor made an estimate on what redundant network storage or even cloud storage would cost to implement at keep running for 5-10 years.

you could just save them as an iso and view with vlc

Handbrake (not in the repos)is the best application I have found for Ubuntu, followed by Acidrip.

Also some DVD's are harder to rip due to encryption techniques. Good Luck

I store them in the cases in a cabinet and on my media server.
