my DVD list

danger boy

I got this cool bar code scanner and scanned and then alphabatized all my DVD's. I think I got something like 340 or so. I can't count that high anyways.

Some may show up as repeats.. when they do.. it's because one or more may be special editions or directors cuts, or extended versions. or..... or...

enjoy the list

mrbigbluelight

pikeys !! Brad Pitt nailed that role perfectly.

"Big Fish": family favorite around here. Something about a story about a dad
that seems to be full of balogna that kind of strikes a cord.

"Apollo 13": pure DTS enjoyment ,too. Any movie that has slipsticks in it has
to be good.

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off": what a classic. Ohhh, yeah.

"Monsters Ball": 2 words. Halle Berry. Make that 3 words. Throw in yummy.

"The Shawshank Redemption": a Stephen King work brought perfectly to screen.

A few stinkers in your list:
-Ladder 49
-A Knight's Tale
-U-571

If I may ask, what is this:
"Tofu 123 : Taking the Mystery Out of the Big White Blob Hosted By
Maribeth Abrams and Featuring Carl Lewis" ?

Upgrade to an SVS sub and I bet U-571 will come off your stinker list.

Skynut

Where did this bar code reader come from?
Does it just read the code and give you all the info?

That sounds like a pretty cool tool.

bobman1235

I agree that it's a pretty cool tool, but I really question what the point of making a thread listing every DVD you own was. Unless they're for sale... seriously. Why?

Skynut

It is just for conversational purposes I would guess but I still have questions about this scanner.

Does it just know what all bar codes are for?
I always wondered about this. Does each product in the world have it's own unique bar-code?

Call me a tard but I just don't know.

Ummmm. it's exactly what you think it is.. it's a free be promo DVD I got somewhere.. i can't remember where. but it's all about cooking with Tofu :eek:
Do you think i should delete it from the list??

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!


Skynut,

Here is the link to the handheld bar code scanner. http://www.collectorz.com/flic_barcode_scanner.php
you can scan and organize your DVD's, CD's, books.. etc.
The software compares the barcode info to a online data base...

polrbehr

No Underworld on that list? For shame.
LOTR trilogy would be a nice addition too.*
All give 5.1 a workout.

*Shoulda looked under "T" first - sorry

Skynut

Thats pretty cool, I kinda want to get one but, I have kids who can do this for me.

Demiurge

I was anal rententive enough to already have done this by hand, same with the CDs and LPs.

Maurice

Hey guys, you can download a free program to do this at www.intervocative.com Check out my dvd link to see how it works.

polrbehr

Moe-
Interesting stuff.
Nice HT setup, BTW.

Maurice

thanks behr, cool program huh. Cant beat the price either.;)

The simple answer is yes. Currently, systems utilize an 11 digit UPC (trailing digit doesn't "read" if you will), but there is a process in the works to expand from the current 11 to a 13 digit UPC. If you notice on products that you buy from the same manufacturer (say several cereal's from General Mills), they have the same leading group of numbers. Not every company has their own code prefix, but there are many out there that do.

We're getting to the point where we have too many products out there and that's why you're going to be seeing more of the 13 digit UPC's (instead of a leading digit then 2 sets of 5 digits, you're going to see a leading digit then 2 sets of 6 digits).

Skynut

I learn something new every day around here.:D

Skynut

Nice collection Brettw22.. BTW.

brettw22

Collection of what?

Demiurge

I think he meant Maurice.

shack

I use DVD Profiler to keep track of all my DVDs.

THey're not for sale.. and i was bored.. and it's always fun to compare and see what movies someone likes.

danger boy

it made my life much easier.. before I didn't have the DVD's alphabatized.. now it's much easier to find that one I want.

YOu can organize your DVD's once they are scanned and into the computer and compared to the database.. by year, genre, title, etc. makes it so much easier.

* a friend has about a dozen of my movies.. so the list in incomplete right now.. Riddick, and a few others are missing. Underworld being one of them. ha ha ha. It also does not include the box set of James Bond movies.. there was no bar code on the box set that I could find.

masanz1

That's pretty cool. Seems a lot better than the Movie Collector program I'm using. BTW I like A Knight's Tale. Thanks for the link

Interesting. I always wondered why people buy DVDs, especially in amounts like that? I am not judging, I really don't get it

How much one pays for a DVD? With all discounts and promotions $6 (Walmart rejects bin, 2 years after movie is out). Or rent it for $5 the day it is out.

Are those really the movies you will watch more than once? :eek:

My family and I have over 500 movies (400 ± DVDs and 100 ± VHS). Only about 250 are mine and the rest belong to my daughters. I can watch what I want....when I want. And yes...if it is good enough for me to buy...it's good enough to watch more than once. I don't go to the theater to watch movies. If we did it would be $32 + overpriced food for ONE movie for the family. I can pick up 4 or 5 DVDs (or more) for that price. I hate fooling with rentals and NEVER go to a video store. We have NetFlix for those movies we want to see but not buy.

Skynut

I also like to buy my movies. My wife and I buy movies whenever we see anything that looks like it is worth watching.
I buy most from blockbusters pre-viewed and get 3 for $25.00. With tax it is just under $10.00 each. Way below the cost of 2 people for a movie.

Then we can watch it again if we want or just add it to the growing collection.

Renting is just plain too inconvient.

Currently we have around 30 movies we have not watched yet and half of them are movies the whole family can enjoy together on movie nights.

I also loan them out to my neighbor or my family so they don't have to but them.

For the money I spend on movies I think they end up being a good deal.

faster100

We don't buy every movie that hits the shelf and most people that have hundreds took several years to collect im sure. we have about 100 or less because we buy our kids all the disney releases and then the real good ones we think well watch again some day..

polrbehr

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but has anyone out there considered a sort of
"Round Robin" type club where they work? There's about 25 people in ours, and basically we exchange DVDs all the time. No fees, rentals, etc. One person buys a movie every week, and we just kind of share what we have.
With 25 people, each person only has to buy 2 DVDs a year. I don't know about anyone else, but I was buying 2 DVDs a month for a while, so...
Yeah, you have to keep track of who has what, but in the end your "library"
will have grown nicely. Just a thought.
Another option I have where I live is to check DVDs out of your public library, if they have them. Currently ours has about 900 titles available, and they're always adding more. We can check out up to 6 at a time for up to one week.
Beats the Hell outta BBuster! It's a great way to preview movies you may be on the fence about renting. It doesn't cost a thing, and if you don't like the movie, so what? The only downside is you're pretty much SOL if the one you want is out, but it's an acceptable trade-off IMO.

Until then, I figure I only have about 925 more posts to go until I start buying gear from the Flea Market. With the Polk Club customer loyalty discount, I figure I should do okay. :rolleyes:

Before I get back on topic, I will mention that I have that Athena sub sitting on a slab of onyx marble that adds some pretty remarkable audio characteristics to the downward firing sub.

Danger Boy, thanks for clearing up that "Mysteries of the White Glob" thing.
I was starting to get a little worried.


A good source lately for good cheap DVD's is Circuit City. They've been stocking their bargain bin lately with some excellent dvd's for $9.99.
