Hi all.
I have somehow managed to have 2 databases in DVD Profiler. I can switch back and forth between them, but I really would like to merge them and have only one unified database of all my disks.
Is this possible? How do I do this?
THANK YOU ALL!
Michael

It's fairly easy:

Make separate backups of both your databases (File -> Backup database)
Open one of the databases then select (File -> Restore database)
Select the backup of the other database
You will then see an option to "Restore Specific Profiles"
Select All then OK

This will merge the second database into the first database

Michael 666 already gave the answer, just one word of advice:

Thanx everybody - very helpful!
Unfortunately, I screwed this up. I had the "2 databases" on my iPhone. One with 1100+ entries, and one with 162 entries. The latter was synched with my desktop. That one I ran a backup of, which is now stored on my desktop. Then, I switched the iPhone to the "big collection" with the 1100+ entries. I wanted to now "write this onto" the desktop, so I hit "update collection" on the iPhone. It turns out that was stupid as now the desktop pushed the small (162 entries) collection onto my iPhone.
Unless there is a way to "control-Z" the updating process, I think I have just lost my 1100+ entries.

Is there any chance that you have an iCloud or other  backup of your phone contents?
