I have an existing Access database with 865 entries in. Is there no way to import this to DVD profiler instead of manually entering every disc alll over again?

The built-in batch import (Ctrl+Ins --> Add by UPC --> Add Multiple --> Open text file with UPCs/EANs) doesn't support custom/personal information, it just adds the profiles and then downloads the data from the online database.

With mediadogg's BulkEdit plugin you can import XML and CSV files – AFAIK – which contain more data than just UPCs/EANs.
Have a look into the official forum thread for more help...

Muckl already mentioned BulkEdit, which will be you best option.
The big question is: what does your database contain?
With DVD Profiler, all title-specific data comes from the main-database, so it is not necessary (or maybe even wrong) to carry such data over.
Personal data on the other hand (place and date of purchase etc) should be importable with bulkedit.

But, the primary-key for titles in the DVD Profiler is the UPC/EAN, meaning: if you don't have that numbers it's going to be a bit more complicated.
