After many frustrating experiences (you've had them too, right?) I've finally perfected a method of unpacking DVD movies. I'm talking about your typical DVD:
1. Take a sharp blade (something like an Exacto Knife, or a razor blade) and run it along the edge of the rectangular case, on 3 sides (not the spine itself).
2. Open the clamshell case (it should spring right open after making those cuts).
3. Remove the slug protection device, if any, and trash it. That's optional, but I do this.
4. Remove the "Security Device Enclosed" stickers, which should be cut in two at this point. The two halves of each are best removed in one piece by peeling back from the cut-points - it's quite easy once you get used to it. I leave the top label intact because it usually has has the name of the movie and I may want to store my DVD's at some point with that label showing.
I can do a whole DVD in less than a minute using this method.
