You can ciopy the file to a disc. Windows does not need to "recognize" anything, the file can only be read by DVD Profiler.

I'm kinda suspecting that there's a slight confusion in terms.

When you created a backup via DVD Profiler, that file is so you can restore your collection into DVD Profiler should something go wrong. Meaning, only DVD Profiler needs to be able to read the file, and it can indeed read .DPB files.

What I suspect you want to do is create a file that contains data about your collection that you can use outside of DVD Profiler.

If I am right, there's a few ways:

- You can run a report (Tools -> Reports) and then print it as a .PDF. You will need a .PDF writer for that, but there's lots of free ones out there. Check download.com if you don't already have one. If the reports included with the program aren't to your linking, there's lots more that can be downloaded from this site, or you can create your own.

- You can export the collection to a text-based CSV file that both Notepad, Word and Excel can read just fine. You need the CSVEXport plugin for that. Once installed, it'll be available under: Tools -> Export Profile Database to CSV.

- You could upload your collection online (although I'm not sure if that feature is available to free users...) and then either save it as a Web Archive or print it as a PDF. Or even copy/paste the list into Word or Notepad or something like that.

- If you know how to use .XML files, you can use the built-in export functionality: Tools -> Export Profile Database.
