	Bug-reports should be reported at [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=581838&group_id=87054&func=browse&_category=566353 sourceforge.net], this way we are able to track all bugs on one tracker which makes our lifes a lot easier. However, before posting a bug-report there, make sure it is a valid bug-report and not a feature-request or something that is your own fault (i.e. user-error). To do that you can start a new topic thread on the ~~XBMC~~ [http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=8 bug-discussion forum] to verify this with others. But most importantly, use the search functions first [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=581838&group_id=87054&func=browse&_category=566353 here] and [http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/forum/search.php here], to make sure you are not posting duplicate bug reports.

	While it sometimes can be complicated to provide us with samples, it is usually worth the effort.

Without a sample, it will take much longer because we cannot replicate the bug ourselves and we will have to try a lot of things (which can break the current working version again).

	Simplest is to just to snail-mail one of the developers a 1:1 copy of the DVD-disc (or the original DVD-disc if the bug has something to do with encryption problems), you can create a such 1:1 copy on your PC using software's like “DVDDecrypter”. Another possibility is to compress (ZIP/RAR) the sample and send it over the internet, (since most DVDs are a bit to big to send over the internet you can try to strip unneeded data out of it (read the section below about “DVD-menu related problems”).
