What's the best way to organize my DVD collection?
My DVD collection has grown to a few hundred discs and they're scattered everywhere. What's the best way to store and organize them? Alphabetical, by genre, by something else? Should I keep the original cases or get a binder to save space? How do I keep track of which ones I've lent to friends?

Honestly just dive in. You learn this stuff by doing it, not by researching it forever. I spent months reading about getting started instead of actually starting. Looking back I wasted a lot of time being scared to begin.
Whatever you do, ignore the snobs. Every hobby has gatekeepers who act like you need expensive gear or 'correct' taste to belong. Forget them. Enjoy it your own way at your own pace. It's supposed to be fun.
Don't spend a lot of money right away. The industry changes constantly and what's considered the best today will be outdated in a year or two. Start with a mid-range option and you'll be happy.
