Hi, I have a little barcode scanner called a "cue cat" which is USB, and got it new off e-Bay for about 10 bucks. Works great and have had it for years now...

The barcode scanner has to have to ability to act like it were a normal keyboard. So if you scan something the output in any text program (notepad, word, ...) should be the numbers that are represented by the bar code.

If that is a given, the scanner will work with DVD Profiler.

I just bought a "cue cat" that had already been modified from an ebay retailer.  It was about $14.50 including shipping.  It took a few trial runs to learn how to use it, but is very easy and is  a "plug & play".

There are several available but this is what I got... eBay Item No. 370093574310
