r/bluraycollection

My New Year’s resolution this year was to cut back on paying for streaming services and build a blu-ray collection. What started as a small collection of movies has now blossomed into this over the last 6 months

What does my little collection say about me?

The one before girl interrupted is Girl 6 one of Spike Lee's hidden gems, and only in Japan on BD :) just felt I needed to point that out as its a crime its too good a movie. And the spine has sun damage so you cant read it

Hi everyone,

Three weeks ago I started building UHD Reference, a 4K disc transfer quality database that aggregates scores from Blu-ray.com, High-Def Digest, DoBlu, AVSForum and others into a single consensus score (built partly on feedback from the community). Today it hit 100 discs scored.

To mark the milestone I'm giving away one Reference-tier disc from the database, your choice from the list.

How to enter: Comment below with which Reference disc you'd pick (and optionally, why). Winner picked randomly via redditraffler in 48 hours and receives an Amazon.com gift card (up to $25) toward that disc. Open to accounts 6+ months old.

Good luck and thanks again to everyone who gave feedback when I first shared, it genuinely shaped how the database developed.

^(Note)^(: sent modmail before posting, happy to remove if this doesn't fit the sub rules.)

Shelfie of my Collection

This is my entire movie collection so far! Started in September last year when finding $4 blu-rays at Goodwill. Graduated to 4k a month later. Got myself a Bravia 8 and a decent sound bar/subwoofer combo. My most recent purchase was the Zootopia Steelbook to match my Zootopia 2. Enjoying this hobby a lot :)

PS. The ones that are sideways are all not technically mine, so I put them sideways to remind myself.

Also, apologies if the picture looks off. I used Night Mode on my phone and it kinda made the colors wonky, but it was either that or have a bright Flash glare on all the cases.

Digital - Media Library

Hey everyone,

Like most of you here, my son and I absolutely love physical media. But over the last year, we’ve grown really frustrated with the collection tracking apps on the market. They either look like clunky Windows 95 spreadsheets, or they lock you behind an aggressive paywall or a yearly subscription the second you try to scan more than 30 or 40 items. 

Honestly, we don't think anyone should have to pay a monthly fee just to look at a list of things they've already bought and paid for.

So, over the last few weeks, me and my son have been coding our own visual-first app to solve this: *My Library*.

It isn't quite ready for release just yet, but we are working hard on the final touches and it will be completely live and free to use online very soon. Here is what we've been focusing on making:

  1. *Free Cloud Syncing:* You will just need to make a quick, free account, but once you do, your collection is safely backed up in the cloud. You'll be able to scan a movie on your mobile phone and it will instantly show up on your desktop or laptop. No storage limits or "Pro" tiers.

  2. *Poster-Only Aesthetic:* Heavily inspired by Letterboxd. We wanted an edge-to-edge wall of cinema artwork that lets the covers do the talking, rather than messy spreadsheets, grids, or text lists.

  3. *Rapid-Fire Scanner:* A barcode scanner that actually works. It registers the UPC, gives you a quick haptic buzz (vibration), auto-saves in the background, and immediately keeps the camera ready so you can fly through a stack of 20 movies in a minute.

  4. *Smart Folders:* You can create custom shelves or watchlists (like our "Scary night" or "kids" folders in the screenshot) to keep your collection organised.

*When is it out?*
We are finishing up the last bits of code over the next couple of weeks. If you want us to ping you when we open the doors, or if you'd like to help us test it, let me know in the comments!

We're actively coding this based on what actual collectors want. 
Stay tuned for updates at elcomemedia.com
