    A bit of wind = hole in roof + rain = a pile of DVD's with destroyed cases. :mad:

    Given the fact that they were stored in the shed, I would estimate the upper 90s.

    I think you'll find your external drive is worse at standing up to wind and rain than your typical DVD.

    If you highlight the darkened piece with your mouse pointer, it'll show you the text. The actual term means it hides the potential spoil (on a plot line or something!) You can look if you choose to. :)

    eg.
    Home & Away is not as good as it used to be.

    Seriously... I know how to stream films, but wtf has that got to do with having a DVD collection which was mostly built up well before broadband was not widely available.

    Replace your DVD collection, really you should be able to if you've legally purchased a license to have a copy of the film what difference does it make to the content provider if you use the legal copy or the illegal copy?

    Granted it doesn't fill the collectors need to see a wall full of purchases but if it's just about watching films then digital copies are the way to go.

    I still own DVD's - Call me old fashioned, but I like them, and they look purty on my shelf. Still buy new DVD's and CD's too.......... Can't be arsed with downloading them.

    It only takes 6 mins to download a movie. And not much more for a Blueray rip.

    ...or so I've been told by those evil copyright infringer's.

    It would seem that actually getting a DVD is far more hassle. I couldn't be arsed to go to a shop, browse manually for the DVD I want, queue up. Even buying online has a relatively long delivery time.
    No thanks....I'll stick with digital.

    A DVD collection, how quaint.

    DVDs are quite durable, it takes a bit more than wind and rain to make them unwatchable. So its just the paper covers that are ruined, and even then they are in plastic so they couldn't possibly be that badly damaged unless there was a localised monsoon over the hole in the roof of your shed and as a result the shed flooded.

    I think you are being dramatic, in any case they are only films and are all easily replaceable. Now had you said you had left old photo albums out in the shed I'd feel a lot more sorry for you.

    LOL people still buy DVDs

    dvds are strong in my experience and can usually take a bit of a beaten, light scratching etc...

    2,000 wow, at about 10 euro new ones 20 30? a dvd its €20,000 worth of dvds, where exactly is this shed with no roof.



    why were they in your shed anyway?

    You mean to tell us that you individually inserted 2000 dvds into a player and checked to see if they are working???

    A bit of water won't affect them, scratches will.

    Are people retarded? I know the dvd's are ok, it's the cases that are f*cked. I also know how to stream and watch a film online, I already said I bought most off them years ago. I mentioned the reason for them being in the shed too.

    Stop being so dramatic OP.

    The discs will be fine. Sure its only a bit of water.CD's are very durable, very tough. They don't get damaged easily. You should really have all these movies put onto a harddrive.

    The discs will be ok. Calm down, stop crying.

    Get new inserts here:

    http://www.cdcovers.cc/view/12134/front/apocalypse-now-redux-r2

    If any of the actual cases are damaged they can be bought for about 10c a pop online.

    This is a very minor problem op.
