I only recently made the effort to organize and catalog my video collection. It was getting a bit out of control. First I physically went through and sorted what I had, then I filed them (roughly) by genre onto my shelves. A lot of this effort comes down to getting boxes (thank you, Ebay) and labeling things. I had spindles of mismatched discs, so all that had to be dealt with. The next step was finding a program to enter what i had so that I could create a database. This was accomplished with DVDpedia, which is a great little shareware program that interfaces with imdb.com as well as the various Amazon sites across the world (nice touch that, as I have many foreign-origin DVDs). It's still quite a task finding room for all the titles and having them in a rational order. Haven't gotten to British sitcoms yet. Or all my conspiracy-oriented titles (boy do I have a lot of Kennedy assassination material). Fitting everything into order is probably something akin to what someone with an apartment in Tokyo deals with for everything.
