So...are you mixing-in your HD discs with your SD-DVDs?
On your shelves, that is? Or, are they segregated from each other?
I always find these threads interesting...with the different approaches HTFers have to organizing their collections.
My BDs are currently in a wicker basket separated from their SD counterparts on the shelves...waiting for me to decide what-to-do.
There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

My HD-DVDs are definately segregated from my SD DVDs. Heck, I even used to segregate my snappers from keepcases before I replaced all my snappers.

My HD-DVDs and Blu-ray discs are mixed right in with the DVDs! There all organized in alpha order by genre. It's one big happy family!

Re: So...are you mixing-in your HD discs with your SD-DVDs?
I have two separate alphabetized sets, one for my BDs and then one for my DVDs, with the oversized Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition tin separating the two. I prefer uniformity of physical arrangement over a broader alphabetized order, even if it does mean that my Lost Season 3 set is on a higher shelf than Seasons 1-2.  |

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.

I transfer all by DVDs into slim cases when I buy them, scanning the cover and rezising the spine.
As I buy Blu-Rays these go into the slim case and the DVD disc goes back into it's original box in the attic.
So my collection looks unchanged and you would not know that I have any Blu-Ray discs.

Re: So...are you mixing-in your HD discs with your SD-DVDs?
The top couple of shelves our now reserved for my HD purchases. So they're segregated from the rest of my DVD collection but inside the same cabinet.
The HD DVDs and Blu-rays are mixed together, however.

What PaulDA does.
I have themes, and originally I planned to have the HD cases at the "front" (= before "A") of each theme, but then I decided to have all HD cases as a separate "theme", on their own shelves. First all BDs, then all HD DVDs.
In a few years, and if HD really succeeds, I may go to the other arrangement after all.

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.
Jay's Movie Blog - A movie-viewing diary.
Transplanted Life: Sci-fi soap opera about a man placed in a new body, updated two or three times a week.
Trading Post Inn - Another gender-bending soap, with different collaborators writing different points of view.
"What? Since when was this an energy ball movie?" - Overheard during a screening of Takashi Miike's Dead Or Alive
"What the hell religion are you people?" - Overheard during the Captain Marvel serial at SF/29
"If I feel even one bullet hit me, I will rip your lungs out through your nostrils!" - Ron Silver as himself, "Heat Vision And Jack"
