I have found 8thwonder to be great with tons of the newest videos at the lowest cost.

smashvidz hands down. great for mainstream videos.

stay away from 8th wonder(you get what you pay for). they have a lot of corrupt files. xtendamix is great for 80's, 90's and hard to find videos.

good luck.

the plan is

Virtual DJ with 4 decks

i use two decks for audio/video, and two spare decks for silent video only (for background visuals)

vdj is not a bad program but not reliable. it's mainly being used for mobile dj's in the states. most use serato/ mix emergency

Serato/ Mix Emergency is a 3rd party software that's Mac only and up till now not supported in the new 2.4 scratchlive software and Serato Video. It has more features than Vsl But Serato Closed the door on Inklen (Mix Emergency) to better the serato video program.

How it work is you install it and open it up and play the video in serato 2.3 and down. and it cost $179

first you insult him and then you give him advice. lol.

stay within your budget but just realize that if you get into video and are serious about it, you'll eventually need to move to another program like serato vsl or mix emergency. good luck.

hi , not sure if that advice was directed at another poster or myself, but as im using virtual DJ now for a combination of audio and video, sure i see some limits, but what specifically do the other programs offer?

money is not an issue with me but the main issue would be learning a new program and integrating my music collection/potentially losing tag information etc.

VDJ had been doing video well before SSL even knew video exists.

VDJ had been doing video well before SSL even knew video exists. We know that but VDJ is not stable as Vsl or ME. most of the video dj's are from vdj.

What do you me by stable? I do 6 t 8 hr gigs with vdj and it does not shut down or become unstable. Doing video audio a combo of both and karaoke. I dont have to buy an expensive plugin or worry if my flac file will not play.

I use VDJ as well for audio, and video. Never had a problem in the 4 years I have been using it.

i don't have serato live mate i have itch with the vci-300 so no 179 bucks would not set me back. itch has a plugin for video for 149 bucks , no problem but it doesn't support my video graphic card. so yes a new computer would set me back a little and thank you for your help.
