Re: So...are you mixing-in your HD discs with your SD-DVDs?
I arrange my films alphabetically by themes (historical, classics, comedy, drama, sci-fi, etc.) and I do the same with my music. Furthermore, I do the same with hi-res audio (DVD-A and SACD on separate shelves). With HD DVD (no Blu-ray yet), I simply do alphabetical as I don't have enough for sub-genres. When I go "Blu", it'll be the same for a while, then as the collection grows, sub-genres will emerge.

Segregated. I have a ledge that runs around my basement, and that's where my HD DVDs are for the time being. I also keep my music DVDs and TV Season sets organised separately.

Re: So...are you mixing-in your HD discs with your SD-DVDs?
Right now, they're segregated in part because there was no room left on the shelves holding the DVDs. And because having the shelves look ragged would have bugged me.
No themes or genres, though. Too many of the best movies would fit into multiple categories.

Anyway, when I'm looking for a movie to watch, I don't want "Do I want HD or SD?" to be a deciding factor.

Ditto on both accounts.

I keep my SD-DVD seperate from my HD discs, I keep them in alphabetized order. I do however have my HD-DVD's and my Blu-ray's mixed together in alphabetized order as well. As a collector I will most likely keep my SD-DVD just incase something happens to my HD version.

I have three separate sections; Blu-ray / HD-DVD and SD-DVD.

Re: So...are you mixing-in your HD discs with your SD-DVDs?
Not me. I have no issues there. (re: wife thing)
I should note that within one sub-genre, historical feature films, I don't alphabetize them. Instead, I place them in chronological order of the events they portray (I know, I'm weird).
I doubt I'll ever mix them all together as I use different players for different formats, so separating them makes it easier.

Re: So...are you mixing-in your HD discs with your SD-DVDs?
I'm intrigued by the amount of you who catalogue by genre--I could never figure out a way to do that that didn't make me want to short-circuit Robby the Robot/Landru/Nomad/V'Ger style. BLAZING SADDLES--is it comedy or Western? The HARRY POTTER films--are they fantasy or mystery? ALIEN--is it horror or sci-fi? Hell, ALIENS--is it horror, sci-fi or action? And the films of David Lynch? I guess just catalogue them under their own genre of "WTF?" If you have a system that works for you, that's gravy...there are just way too many mixed genre films for that to ever work well for me...A-Z and nothing else to complicate matters at my house*.
* Save for certain bothersome movies like FIRST BLOOD (which goes under "R" for Rambo), JEWEL OF THE NILE (which goes under "R" next to ROMANCING THE STONE) or SILENCE OF THE LAMBS/RED DRAGON (which go under "H" for the character name of Hannibal Lecter)...

I do separate genre's as well. On the main wall I have end to end bookshelves. I use my little marvel comic characters mini-busts to seperate the different sections on the shelves. On the top shelf I have all my Blu-rays between a Nightcrawler and a Mystique bust. I think that looks good and presents the dvds well. I have my Star Wars films in a seperate section of the room displayed with various collectibles. I do the same for Star Trek.
