Contact and bugs
==================---
DVD Flick is still in development, and despite my testing, you may very well find a bug. If you encounter any, please send me an email describing how to reproduce it (if you can) and the exact error message DVD Flick reported, if any. Sending attachments of log files produced by DVD Flick is also very helpful. Please don't send attachments of the source material to my poor mailbox, but try to link to them or their torrentfile instead.

The email address is mail a.t. dvdflick.net. Please add "DVD Flick" as the subject so I can more easily distinguish it from the daily barrage of spam.
