I'm new to collecting videos. I've collected mainly audio from specific artists. If I saw a video boot that looked interesting I'd add it to my collection. I was wondering if anybody else collects both and how they keep track of everything or find the time.
I pretty much collect metallica vids fulltime now.

Get a DJ 1000 disc case and if you can, get a website or at least an Excel file. I collect Metallica and Machine Head and I have found that it is a ton of work, especially when you have a site that allows screens.
Watching every show again and taking decent screens and setlists, Gen and everything else is a shitload of work.

Re: The Bootleg Hobby
yeah same here.. im also looking into getting one of those dj cases as they look awsome.
and i also collect audio and dvd. mostly metallica and maiden but i have a few from other bands.
like paul stated its a lot of work to start of it when doing your own site especially treying to keep it up to date but once you have its well worth it.
and of course welcome to metpage

I've been keeping track by using spiral notebooks and printing off show notes and placing them into the dvd cases.I would like to set up for trading. I'll start off using excel. Thanks Guys.

Re: The Bootleg Hobby
The part in bold will be very difficult as your collection grows. I use a works database set up with 3 fields, artist, date and location. I then sort the fields first by artist then by date, that keeps everything in a good order for me right now. I've kicked around the idea of setting up a website with screen shots, set lists and notes, but with nearly 2000 different shows on DVD already and a demanding life away from my collection, I just can't justify the time it would take.
I still collect audio, but haven't updated my list in probably 2 years and I'm not likely to either. I don't trade audio often and usually get the shows from torrent sites anyway.
Again, welcome to Metpage
