Do you keep your movies?

I have this habit to download all movies that I missed from cinema and keep it like, for ages. The thing is my HDD is not big enough and a day without something moving in my torrent client is such a waste. So, occasionally I will clean up my HDD and still! I couldn't take myself to delete the movies I have watched. I don't know why, mcm ada sentimental feeling gitu. So, I developed another habit to burn movies that I *think* worth to be in the permanent storage.

And keeping it is a challenge for me! As I want it to be nice and look good and presentable. I want ONE movie in ONE cd. So DVD is not an option for me but yet, it's hard to find a CD enough for a movie (once upon a time when I started lah).

Good movie with decent size will always come in dvdrip version and is about 700Mb. Normal CD is about 700Mb and it is not enough for a movie because when you burn it, it will have an overhead about 20Mb or so. Hmm..I'm not sure the exact overhead but my point is, a 700Mb cd can't fit a 700Mb movie.

Then when I found one with 870Mb, it has been my fav ever since!

700Mb vs 870Mb

And I've been a dog to master Melody since day 1 because this brand never give me any problem! (can't burn, scratched, corrupted, etc). I tried high-class CD before like Imation and out of 10 I will get one not working piece.

I also add a bit kegedikan which is using the poster (which can get online for free frm the promo) and print it onto CD sticker (it's a sticker paper in round shape) and voila! My collection look a bit professional, isn't it?

'Pasted' CD :P

The thing is, I don't have a printer. Color printer to be exact. So I have to wait till I get back to the hometown and using my dad's printer for this purpose. Talking about saving cost hahaha. The naked CD will be marked like below;

Now, my collection is increasing. But as I mentioned before, not all movies RIP in the CDs. Most of them I just delete straight from the HDD. I just burnt movies that I think I might watch it again, sooner or later. Some of the collection that I glad I keep it is like Children of Heaven (Arabs), Run Lola Run (French), Hotel Rwanda and all the cartooonnss. Hahaha. I am a big fan or cartoons. And who doesn't?


The inventory

I have about 10 boxes now which is equal to 60 CDs. Hmm maybe I should do piracy business here. But, nahhh everybody has streamyx/connection now kan.

So, give yourself a treat, download as much as you want.

The only tip here is, find:

1) dvdrip version
2) size will be around 700Mb (ada yg 1.4G but rarely found)
3) in avi/divx format
4) few uploader's name to recommend: aXXo, DiAMOND (just to name a few)


And enjoy your movie!
