I have encountered serveral instances where there is a DVD realease that is the exact same, but under a different UPC.  This has happened in R1 as well as wanting to enter R2 discs

Is there any way to d/l and copy an entire profile to another UPC?

Easy!

Download the profile.
Go to - DVD ---> Change EAN. Enter the new number.
Update any changes, including the cover scan or don't submit it if you can't scan it.
Submit the new proifle.

Be sure when you contribute that you specify the EAN/UPC of the disc that you got the data from.

There is an entry in the DVD Profiler Community Knowledge Base regarding this question:

you also need to check that the locality of the new dvd is the same as the profile you are copying, and if not then you need to change this as well.

Also you will need to check (and probably need to change) the release date and the RRP (if the Locality is different using the correct currency). it's worth checking the media company releasing the disc hasn't changed too as the reason it's being re-released could be a new distributor has bought up the rights (Optimum are doing this a lot for example).

In addition the cover will obviously be different (the barcode on the rear scan for a start!) so you should either change it before submission or, at a minimum, remove the old scans and leave them blank.

The link Mithi posted above (which is also in my signature) has a good checklist for things that should be checked.

There's also a Copy & Paste options on the DVD menu.  I've used it and it works very well.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
