wow....I thought my collection of 500 plus titles was sizable. You have five times as many DVD/Bluray, and presumably some HD-DVD titles as I have. Way to go!
I believe you outright called me an idiot in another post, but I don't hold a grudge.
I'm must wondering how you know off the top of your head that 80% of your titles are 2.35:1? You didn't sit there and go through them all looking at the aspect ratio just to add to this post. You must keep a spreadsheet of your movies or use one of those inventory software systems.
Question- do you have a good DVD jukebox? My DVDs sure take up a lot of space. I wouldn't mind a good jukebox or two to hold my DVDs. I have a Sony CD changer for my CD collection and it is very useful. Any thoughts?
I don't have a DVD jukebox. I put every title in their original boxes and put them alphabetically in 4 different catagories: Movies, Music Videos, Demonstration Discs, Disney Animation. For HD DVD and Blu-ray I just group them based on their respecitve formats since I only have a couple hundreds of titles for each format.
I use an idiot-database-system on my palm pilot so I can group it based on "alphabetical", "aspect ratio" and "sound" (mono, stereo, multi-channel). From there I can see that for the types of movies I buy, more than 80% of them are wider than 1.85:1 ratio.. I call it "idiot-database-system" because now that palmOS is dead, I can't transfer the database anywhere else :( A dumbass move I made in 1997 when I started collecting DVD.

good for people like me. For very strange reasons, more than 80% of my movie collection (more than 2,500 titles) are in 2.35:1 ratio.
This way I can maintain Constant Image Height without going the front-projector route.
