You might be better off asking users of Delicious Library for help on this, since most people here have never used it, but what might work is the CSV Export plugin.

You can use that to export your collection into a text file. I have no idea if that is something Delicious Library can read, but it's probably your best bet. Or exporting your collection as XML, which is supported without installing a plugin.

Dolly's not alone. You can also clone profiles.

Let me point out that our format for data is copyrighted by Invelos, I know there are some programs that will not allow a import if it figures out that data is coming from some other program. I don't know much about Delicious other than they have an interesting interface. But it is not wise to just bounce data around from program to program with copyrights involved, you could wind up jeopardizing your software of choice and its Community of users.

If you just need the info on your collection exported and imported into another program for your own personal use (ie: not commercial use), then that's fine.  I can only assume that if you're using the data so you can have your collection in a program on your Mac, that's what the export function was designed for.  You're fine.

FYI, text from DVDProfiler's "Export Database" disclaimer:

In order to use the Export Profile Database function, you must
accept the following usage policy by clicking on the Accept button
below.  If you do not wish to accept the usage policy, click the
Decline button below.  By declining, you will be unable to access
this function.

The Export Profile Database function exports your collection's
information to an XML file.  The information contained in those
export files are for your personal use only and cannot be employed
for use in any other setting.

For commercial use, please send email to
commercialuse@invelos.com or click on the Commercial Use email
button below.


DVDProfiler exports in XML format, which may not be the best thing for another program to read.  As suggested above, it would probably be better to use the CSV Export Plugin.
