I'll have to take some pictures of mine...I have too many movies!
It doesn't really take less room unless you sell the discs after you rip them. But then you have no backup.Do you rip the extras too, or no? Sometimes the extras on a disc are almost as interesting as the movie itself !
That's a lot of movies. I can't think of that many movies I'm even interested in watching, which makes my collection much more manageable.
I have uploaded a short vid for how I manage my stuff and also for an opinion on where my room is dark enough. Granted this is taken with my cell phone and the video is grainy but depicts pretty close to the darkness of room during daylight hours. This is my living area by the way. I have the Epson 4050 you sold me in Dec or Jan. and am looking to upgrade to a better 4k image. Thanks
