The b**chy part is that the technology will keep on evolving. These days we are updating our DVD collection to HD and after a few years we would be doing the same with our HD collections. Its a never ending vicious circle 
what do you guys do with your downloads?

this is pretty much what happens with me. and why watch same thing again when you can spend that time watching something new (however crap it may turn out to be in the end)

More than the arrangement...its about maintenance.
All my DVD's are individually enclosed in a airtight polythene cover. there is not even a single mark in any of my dvds. If I get even a single hairline scratch I throw the dvd and burn a new one
.The airtight polythene cover is to protect the DVD dye which increases the life of the DVD to infinity ;p.
As a result, even a 4 yr old burnt dvd can be copied to my PC in flat 3-4 minutes. I had some basic rules which I adhered to whcih helped me save my collection
I will post a screenshot of my collection (HDD's) soon and how I connect these...which should answer ur questions. Also, I have made the xls in a unique way which helps me organise different types of stuff in a disciplined way.
PM me ur email and I will send u a sample

Even if SOPA is passed and all the internet is wiped of HD stuff TE members have everything that is available now
kartikoli said:LOL its not that easy as you said ... it takes time ... all hindi dubed are of 25FPS and original prints are in 23.976 FPS
you have to stretch the audio retaining the quality to match english audio and then if there are some explicit scenes [which are usually deleted in hindi dubbed version] or deleted scenes you have to take exact english part and insert at the correct interval also normalize the english audio to match with hindi audio
could you please do few simple muxing for me i will provide source for both
Hmmm, I could give it a try, surely. As for the explict scenes,
, we know that. Thats why there is a main need of an editor. But then, surely, if you are going for doing this, you know what a massive headache (thats what I would call it) you are undertaking.However, IMO, if you are not seeding/torrenting these, most of your work is being wasted.

exactly my line, beside, once your close friends start loaning those, just forget about making collections, once I had over 150 dvds full of movies and documentaries, and now I barely have 30-35. so now, if it is really good, i save them in my portable else delete it
vercetti said:I second that...Whatever movie I watched if its above 5 rating in IMDB it would be in my HD collection. If its a BAD movie then i would probably have a 3-5GB print.
for classics I usually have a 20-50GB print per movie
I was dedicated once....now no dvds, just store the content in my Hard drives
BTW: if u ever need to get those PS3 backups back, u know whom to contact

even i have a HD ready plasma do you feel that much of a difference between a 3-5 gb and 20-50gb movie to justify the extra bandwidth consumed? i usually get those 1.8-3gb BR rips and if i feel that the movie will be good i get a 4.4gb version with dts. diff in quality (depending on the individual quality of the rip ofc) is barely 15-20% (just approximating ofc). do the 20gb versions look that much better? what is your internet speed, btw?

leave it bro that was just a teaser. Its a headache for sure its easy when the movie have no cut scenes and we just have to match FPSvivek.krishnan said:Hmmm, I could give it a try, surely. As for the explict scenes,

i have both source HD video and hindi audio
as for the collection my games ISO's capture a good 500GB space leaving aside games on DVD's

When I watch on my 42" Plasma...I don't feel much difference b/n a 4Gb and a 20Gb print (but I do feel the difference when I compare the prints one after the other). but in my 22" full HD LCD, I can see the difference clearly.
But I would certainly agree that a 25GB print is obviously not 600% better than a 4.2GB print. But remember the 80-20 rule which can also be applied here. for the 20% of the remaining quality u need to waste 80% of ur space
For internet connection: u would be surprised to know that I have a 512KBPS connection only. In 2008, I used to pay my Company CCD guy to lend me a unmonitored proxy by which I was able to dowenload 1TB per month from rapidshare. Then I started going to UK, etc where I really downloaded great stuff.
Then came our BSNL 3G.......boy did I exploit that. My sim used to get corrupted every 3 weeks (not sure if this was because of excessive dowbnloads)
