    Do you think they over or under inflated their numbers?

        You're lucky. At least you can count to 450. Once I get to ten, I have to take my shoes and socks off! I'm pushing something like 1360. Way too many!

          365 days x 24hrs / 2 hrs per disc on average = 4380 = Number of movies a Zombie could watch in a year.

            The system that I came up with to store all my DVDs back-ups and originals is: Place each DVD in a 225 page cd/dvd album numbering the DVD to match the page and position in the album i.e. 1-5-4 which translates to Album 1, page 5, slot 4. I number the pages and slots on the page as well as the dvd. I enter this information in an MS Access database and store the link to IMdb in the record. I wrote an application in .Net to sort the selection by either name/director/stars/genre with links back to IMDB for each movie. Entering new DVDs is through the interface as well but can be done directly in MS Access. Otherwise the collection becomes impossible to manage...

                  Here is the left side of my DVD/bookcase. The right side is almost full but, haven't printed out all of the covers yet and there is a set of encyclopedias in the right side also.

                    I have revised my pics to show the DVD's better and I have also moved them about. I have linked them as they are rather big (2.8MB for all of them).

                      Hey, is that thing ready to fall over from the weigh of all the dvd's? It looks like it's titling to the right!

                        It's fine. It is just the way the photo came out. It is just on four screws as well. I had it filled with VHS before which is a lot heavier.

                        It should look ok now.

                          Its just the way I cropped the pic. It was hard to get a straight shot of it as my pool table is in front of it so I had to come at it from the side.
