Originally I was keeping my Blu-ray and DVD's in separate databases (no overlap).  Now I'd like to combine them into a single database.  Is there a simple method to combine databases?  I just want to avoid entering around 100 blu-ray titles manually (along with location info).

Thanks,
Don

It is fairly easy.

Do a full backup both databases, just to be on the safe side.

Open the DVD database. Then goto --> File --> Restore database, and browse to the Blu-ray backup file.
Select the following options:
Restore Specific Profiles
  under the profile list: Select All
Deselect the following option:
Restore full user database.

This should do the trick. You will probably end up with duplicate collection numbers.
You can solve this by going to --> collection --> reassign collection numbers

Backup both databases via File->Backup Database.

Now select your master database via File->Open Database

Now select File->Restore Datbase.

Select the backup from the other database. But then choose "Restore Selected Profiles" and then "Select All".

That's it.
