DOUBLE -HEADER!!!!!
Okay gang here goes nothing ! went a roaming & diving sunday checked 4 BB 's even one I never checked before found one one spiderman 2 poster at the one that almost never has cases in the dumpster ! then found 85 cases at one of my regular producing BB dumpsters ( normally 20-30 at this spot) so not a bad day ! Went again today hit 1 BB and got 50 cases & 2 dvd's that were unscathed - still had the lock stick yellow thingie in the cases ( Hard to get those lil' buggers out too ! BRIDE OF CHUCKY & THE SHINING! lot's of the cases today had the dvd's inside but the dvd's were demilled by scratching them with a kniife or nail or whatever ? almost tempted to buy one of them resurfacers if it would work on these? anyway have to work now Lead Zombie on the Grraveyard shift so Happy Trails Yo. Bye now!

way to go Big. Way too cold to dive here. It is going to be 15 wapping degrees today. Snow too. Hope my stash holds old for the winter. But the first nice day I will be out there. Keep us posted on your findings, they're always good for a laugh. hahaha

nailedny- Cold here too just not as much as NYC ! Left out some details about Sunday's Child ! sunday when I was getting the clear plastic Bag Du Garbage out of the dumpster! with the 85 cases in it too the bottom of the bag ripped open and dvd cases went all over the parking lot ! well at least about 15 or so did including some random garbage ! People were coming and going in & out of the BB but no one told me anything so I rounded up the runaway cases & sorted thetrash out for the rest then redumpstered the gargage! if that is really a word ! just a minor embarrassment ! lol! Anyway all this cold weather will give you more time to knit your Angora wONDERwOMAN costume ! Who would've thought an old goat cold feel so soft!!!!!!!!!! The material I mean lol! Best wishes and Holiday Happiness to you & Everyone ! Peace & happy Burning !

Well it is a -5 windchill and snowing here right now. But my obsession got the best of me. I found 30 of the lockable bb cases this morning. Now the question is do I go through and clean my new cases or shovel the driveway??? Oh well I'm heading back outside.

Went to Wally World today and saw their black cases for DVD's and that got me thinking about this thread so.........I ride over to Block Buster and look in their dumpster (which is small and opens on the side) and dug out a trash bag which appeared to have some cases inside....put them in my truck and drove home.......I got 58 cases.......2 of which were the double ones, 5 green and 1 white and one DVD left inside.....Disney's Air Bud World Pup ..lol........figure it was well worth the trouble huh? Thanks JVC for letting us know about this and Merry Christmas to you and everyone here on the forums.

Well, you could always purchase a cheap labeler that spits out the 6mm plastic tape. Not the old style "spin to the letter you want and pull the huge trigger to make an indent in the invincible plastic" ones. The new fancier ones for a good price. Brother makes a few.
Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the presence of fear, yet, the will to go on.

tfarsrsx- On the printing of the labels part of the equation! You could use Label Creator if you have Roxio = Easy CD & DVD Creator ! I have burned many a CD in my day & Prinreted jewel cases for most of them! and using Label Creator it should work for your situation ! AS it prints the Spibe /title area. I'm concerned though that you are thinking of using jewel cases instead of dvd cases tfarsrsx- & I will explain why ? DVD MEDIA either DVD-R orDVD+R or either of the erasable variants ! are physically thinner around the Spindle hole in the center of the DVD than CD'S /CDR Media ! and this being so you run a higher risk of deveoping a crack or cracks in this area if you store DVD's in Jewel cases ! You will notice that the release mechanism / center button on a jewel case differs from a DVD case! This is the reason ! If you were to (ACCIDENTALLY) crack your dvd around the spindle hole and try to play it , you run the risk of it shattering do to stress/ centrifugal force ! Like running a grindstone at too high a speed eventually it self destructs /flies apart !And if the dvd shatters in your burner/drive you also destroy your drive and risk possible injury ! Perhaps tfarsrsx- a better solution would be to use SLimline DVD cases such as the -Verbatim DVD Trim Cases - 100 pk.
Model: 95094
DVD Video Trim Cases are ideal for storing your favorite family movies.
Item: 694428
Price: $24.88 you can buy these at SAMS or online and I believe supermediastore has someyhing similar! I have used many of the Verbatim cases and they are an excellent solution to a space problem!
you can also print the labels / covers with an excellent free program called undercover XP using the 7mm setting! And yes I amaware that some dvd media is sold in jewel cases but I think that's more an economic thing (Cheaper than DVD cases) but more expensive usually than buying dvd media on spindles /cake boxes ! tfarsrsx- you are free to store your disc however you wish ! I understand that! but I thought you'd like to know this first ! Happy Holidays & HAPPY BURNING!!!! HO ! HO! HO!

I'm in Canada, so if any of you are too, I get mine from either www.blankdvdmedia.com, or www.tigerdirect.ca. They both sell good quality cases. I usually go with blankdvdmedia, because I get my printer ink from them too. Much cheaper than buying brand name ink.

To all my friends !old new & the ones I've yet to meet ! Thank You ! For your help with my questions , Problems , and lending a friendly ear & a kind word when needed ! Everyone here @ AFTERDAWN.COM ! are the best of the best! I could read every book or magazine about Coomputers ,DVD'S & technology and still not know one-half of what I've learned here! From people who have the front line experience & knowledge that I and many other mebers lack! Indeed if I were advising someone just getting into this hobby I would send them here ! They would save money , make less Coasters -learn more but most importantly make friends ! & Learn to laugh at themselves & with others! Something wee all could use more of sometimes ! I guess this is just my long and wordy way of saying Thanks Again & wishing everyone A Merry Christmas & Joyous Holidays - Peace !

Congrats BIGTOXY69. I am jealous. Unfortunity a new law/ordinance went into effect 1-1-06 in my area making it illegal to root through trash of any sort. Bogus I know...but they claim it is for 'Identity Theft' reasons. It was fun while it lasted. I'm glad I was greedy when it was legal. Now I may have to be extra nice to BB employees. Good luck to all.
