I'm going to have to second the VideoHelp.com site. DVD's are just like CD's. Only they hold a lot more data. Both can be used as data storage disks. Both can be used as video disks. CD's can be used as music disks. There may be a DVD music disk but since I don't listen to music I wouldn't know about it. Disks that will be used in a DVD player need to be compatable with the DVD player. Some players support more formats than others. At the very least you will need some kind of authoring software. This is the software that will create the menues and chapters And some software will do it automatically. It all depends on how complicated or easy you want to make it. There is way to much info for me to go into here. But you can find all of it at videohelp.com Pooh Bear Here is a link that might be useful: Video Help dot com

I have been looking for a oak storage cabinet to store my DVD collection.The only thing I can find is Sauder partical board put it together funiture.Or similur better quality but it has the Artcy Phartcy look.I want something in solid oak or atleast close? I want it to hold atleat 150 DVD'S and to have doors not open.Is there something avilable that is made for this purpose.Without using a book case or something with shelves that are not the right size and spacing.Or something that looks like a library cabinet or a fuel pump or some other gaudy piece of junk?

Have tried the ultra-slim jewel cases (for CDs)? They open easily so might not be as prone to breakage. They take up very little space. You do have to see the front to identify the title, no room on the spine for a label. You can buy these at Staples, they have them in their brand. Steve

bigdoglover: The floors are 3" planks, 3/4" thick rift & quartersawn oak with a natural oil based stain (stain finish). The R&Q cut produces more of a straight grain with flecks. We love the look. graywings: I see your point also about all the wood, but it does need something as the side view is completely visable from the kitchen. I'm going to try to balance out all the wood look for a larger rug in the FR and a few more upholstered chairs. Usually the kitchen table is covered with a table cloth, but I had removed it for that picture. shesharee: I think the current trend is going towards what we have now. It certainly gives much more flexibility with the TV to not completely encase in furniture. I see the big honkin' ent. centers being dumped on CL all the time. Right now I'm trying to track down the paperwork for the console with the specs on it. Hopefully DH can find it.
