There is way to add in bulk multiple DVD either via one at a time entry (add UPC, by disc, by title, etc) or by clicking add multiple button when using something like bar code reader.

However I was cleaning my DVD collection up as I have a bit too many DVD.  I wanted to remove some DVD that has not been watched in a long time and doesn't interest me.  I ended up with about 300 (still need to go through TV shows collection) and right now it seems the only way to remove from collection is to search, and remove one at a time.

If such feature is not in, I would love a feature that lets me batch delete from collection. Something that also supports bar code reader. And please only ONE confirmation for the whole list, clicking yes 300 times would kill my laptop's button.

That helps a lot but it still won't work with bar code reader, I have to search by title manually to select each one.

I guess there aren't much need for large mass removal from collection like I am doing.  happens maybe once or twice in a decade for me.

Scan into notepad, save as delete.lst. Under Collection - Flags - Load Set - select delete.lst. Then under Collection - Flagged select Remove from Collection and check "To Proceed, check here and select OK".


Make sure all scanned UPCs are the correct length.

Best solution for mass delete.  Now if only that was integrated into DVDProfiler and save me a couple steps.
