Who do I have a go at here regarding storage ?

[garry]

You guys just didnt beat it into me enough about how to store my dvd's.
Maybe I needed to see it written a few more times for it to sink in, but let me remind you all what not to do!

Do not store your DVD's in a zip up 100 plus fabric/plastic storage sleve folder with more than the allocated number.

Ie do not jam them in, or they will resemble your car wheel after hitting the kerb. ie they will be bent.

If there is any sort of pressure on your dvd's they will bend and stay that way.

I have spent the last year copying off all my 20 yr old home movies and will have to start again (OK a good reason to do it a better way this time though, so all is not lost)

Also wife left same type of storage folder leaning on the satellite decoder (and they run hot) with resulting bent dvd's /cd's.

I'll be looking at something a bit harder/boxed for storage like I saw here a months ago.

i use lots 250 disk zip up folders (plus a few 100 disk) and never had a problem with them .... they dont have those cheap plastic only sleeves though -

I think the key is:

... with more than the allocated number....

I'm not a fan of zip up folders anyway, but they have their uses as long as, like BJ_M said, you use decent ones and not the crappy plastic only sleeves.

So you're telling me stting them on an old steam radiator is not a good idea. {checks box on radiator} DAMMIT! :P
