I am also a member on blu-ray.com and would like to add my dvd collection. To do this on blu-ray.com you need to "enter a series of UPCs/EANs separated by either space, comma or line-break" on one of their screens.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to run a report against the dvdprofiler database that would write a list of my upc fields into a .txt file. I could then copy/paste the UPcodes and import them into my profile on blu-ray.com.

Thanks.

I don't think there is an easy way to do that with report, but there are (at least) two alternatives I can think of using plugins:

1) CSVExport
allows you to export chosen fields to a text-file

2) Trading Poster TG
if the majority of your profiles is of the US-locality you can use TPTG to copy the Profile_ID (which is the UPC for US-locality) directly into the clipboard and from there paste them onto blu-ray.com.
For all the other profiles you would need to delete the Locality, but especially for adding a few new profies that still would be faster than CVSExport I think.

There is an even faster way for the US locality. Just flag the profiles you want and save the flag set. This creates a text file (with extension .lst) consisting of the upcs, one per line in the file.
Thanks for your support.

Thanks very much for your recommendations - both excellent suggestions.
I tried all three methods and "flagging the profiles/saving the flagged list" and Trading Poster TG produced the results I needed:

025192167782
025192199882

CSVExport left a hyphen in the UPC value:
025192-167782
025192-199882

Thanks again.
