haha aquaman has been recognized for his work

My instinct told me this was a parody thread, 600 magazines.. vs 1200 dvd's.. but i guess you're serious..
I wouldn't do it, it's not worth it as via cost effective/time effective. as stated above by many other people.

I couldn't even name 1200 movies :Q

 

[Evadman]

I have about 300 and I thought my collection was insane!

 

[kyparrish]

yes, because I bet he'll never watch more than 25% of the movies he owns again

If you have to ask...

 

[Martin]

crazy doesn't even begin to describe what he wants to do.

 

[randomlinh]

1200? what in the hell....

 

[Mo0o]

I'm going to laugh when another medium comes out.

 

[Aquaman]

If you have the time ........... go for it

A less costly and possibly less crazy solution: VHS tapes.

 

[0roo0roo]

why bother? as said the real dl discs are costly. normal discs aren't real backups unless you copy the plain files as a "backup" over two discs and cannot playback without restoring to hd or dl disk. you'd need 2400 discs..your talking atleast 700 dollars worth of dvdr

hd dvd will come out sooner or later and make ur collection worthless anyways. pointless. i've stopped growing my collection. i just rent.

do you deep analyze? if you don't yeah, that's what it takes but deep analyzing improves image quality.

I deep analyze, and it only takes me about 40 min. to copy and comress a dvd he must have a slow machine.

 

[poopaskoopa]

Sure.

 

[dquan97]

he can also just convert them into divx and burn on cds. little more time, but cheaper

waste of time. if he has nothing better to do like, say, hanging out with his friends, then tell him to go for it. it would only cost him about $800 and a whole lot of time to back up his 1200 dvd's. the time wasted alone is enough reason for him just to replace the damaged dvd with a brand new one at $20.
