What do you think are the best of the best out there for Blu-ray discs?

My own personal preference is not to use anything where I have to slide discs in and out of any type of slots or sleeves . I know that BLURAY discs tend to be less fragile than DVDs , but why take a chance? When I buy a movie , I hope I'll have it to enjoy for a long time to come ,and I don't want anything that will degrade the disc especially the packaging I will store it in .

I use Bellagio-Italia 3-ring binders, and have had no problem with any disc. It comes in black, brown, or burgundy.

They are 11" x 8.2" x 2".
You can buy singles or larger bundles for a cheaper per binder price
Each page holds 4 discs, 2 in front & 2 in back. It comes with 12 pages and extra pages are available.

Joe: Do you have a link as to where those can be purchased?

Is there a place for the case artwork with the discs?

 

[Joe Bernardi]

Go to Amazon.com and search for Bellagio-Italia cd/dvd binder. I'm using them for DVDs and Blu-rays.

There is really no place for the case artwork, although they show using the lower slot for the artwork which partially covers the top disc.
I keep my case artwork in folders. I also tried using a thick rubber band to hold that case's artwork inside the front cover.

I use the same ones and I love them. They look good and hold up very well. I haven't had any scratches on the discs and I use then for MOD DVD-r's also.

I purchase mine through Amazon also.

Thanks. I see what you're talking about here:

Is there any sort of soft backing to the sleeves (where the back of the discs rest)...or just a layer of vinyl between the discs (front & back)? It's hard to tell that from the images.

 

[Joe Bernardi]

The backing is made of something other than vinyl, but I can't tell exactly what it is.
I asked my wife to feel the front and back of empty slots; she says it's fabric.

Forgot to mention earlier: The slots also hava a curved vinyl tab that covers the top of the disc.
It protects adjacent discs from rubbing against each other, and keeps the disc locked in its slot.

Thanks, Joe!

I'm always interested in what different people do. Years ago I brought hundreds of slim DVD cases and downsized the DVD collection by cutting all the paper inserts and relocating the discs into the skinnier cases. Now, most of those discs have been upgraded to Blu but I haven't done anything yet as the Blu collection has taken over my available space...

I'm honestly thinking about buying about a hundred nice quality binders, and storing every disc I have that way--Keeping all original cases, and boxes in my garage. I am almost done transporting all my movies, and TV shows on disc to my new house. SO much space taking up nearly my entire basement. My local rescued treasures shop must love me(or hate me) I have already donated over a thousand DVD/BD to them.

What is the approximate movie count in your collection?

I have relegated two thousand (roughly half) of my discs to Case Logic 104-disc cases -- 40 of them, which are now no longer being manufactured -- where many discs have been stored for 5-6 years. I keep the original artwork sleeves in wads so that, if I ever decide to sell any of them, I can simply return them to keep cases. I have not had a playback problem on any of the case-stored discs I have more recently watched so far. These cases are not subjected to excessive heat or humidity. Removing them from the case slots by sliding them out does not have to be any problem whatsoever.

The only problem I have encountered with disc playback has been when I had chosen to overlay custom disc artwork label onto a disc. Many of these have stopped playing properly, but can be salvaged by carefully peeling off the new artwork and using a non-abrasive cloth to clean the play surface. Lesson learned: don't use a paper overlay, regardless of how thin, to cover the original artwork even if you hate it. After all, how many people are going to see your disc other than yourself?

I was at about 4,500. Now After eliminating a large number of my collection I'm probably in the ballpark of 3,400.

My goal is to get my collection to about two thousand pieces....and keep it there.
