Deejaysystem VJ2 3.5 Beta 4 (english)

nickburrett wrote: Hi   I really like the software, only had a chance to use it for the last few hours.  I'm not sure if the list below is bugs or my own inexperience.   1. When setting a cue point on a music video, the software doesnt tend to remember exactly where I have set the cue point to be.   2. Again when setting a cue point on a music video, the software loses the cue point when you re-add it to the deck (or another deck), I was under the impression that the cue point would be stored in the database forever.   3. Cue point 1 (to start playing), and Cue point 0 (to skip to next song) should be used by the software automatically when in autoplay - allowing the DJ to answer the call of nature or go to the bar!   4. My screen resolution is 1280 x 800, and the software looks lost!  To me it seems a shame to waste all the space of my screen.  I'm really not bothered about how pretty it looks - I just want it to be functional.   5. I'd like an option to keep the search popup open permanently.   Apologies if any of this isnt useful, as I say - I've been a user for a matter of a couple of hours!   Definately interested in purchasing if item 3 is added as a feature - please keep me informed!

1. This occurs when you PAUSE a playing track, then store the position in a cue slot. Instead, use the SEARCH buttons after pausing to exactly find the desired position, then store it in a cue slot.

[tech details]
The cause for this behavior is in the codec used for decoding that format. Deejaysystem tracks the position in the song according to the amount of audio that has been played since the last seek operation. This is an exact measure, but not all codecs track the position in the same way. So it may happen that Deejaysystem shows the position 1:00 because it knows it has played an exact minute. But when sending the command "Seek to 1:00" to the codec, it may go to a slightly different position. Using the SEARCH buttons before setting the cue point ensures the exact position because these buttons sends the "Seek to" commands to the codec. So when recalling the cue point, it will repeat the exact "Seek to" command, so the position will be exactly the same.

2. Try starting Deejaysystem in administrator mode (right-click the icon > run as administrator). You can also specify the admin mode as default in the icon properties.

[tech details]
Deejaysystem stores these data in a file in the same location where the program is installed (typically c:\Program Files). In Vista/7, this location cannot write to unless you have admin privileges. Otherwise, Windows re-routes all write operations to a specific folder in the user's data folder. The problem is when it happens that both locations have the same file. If so, then the write operations are routed, but the read operations are not. In a future version Deejaysystem will store all its data in the user data folder.

3. This exact feature is already planned for a future version.

4. Sorry... this wil also be fixed in a future version, when skins are supported. Then we will provide different skins with different sizes.

5. Also planned for a future version. The SEARCH dialog will be integrated into the software in the same way as the PLAYLIST and VIDEO-OUT sections.

But this package is dating back. If using the last package (5.7.0 or 5.7.4), whatever the settings are, it's impossible to get the sound playing from these VOB Files. Can you tell us more on this ? I mention that the files are playing without problems in all other softwares installed (such as MPC, VDJ...). Tell me if your need more info from me. I truly love your software, go ahead, bring it up !

Maybe you could find the files below useful. They are the settings used for creating the custom setup of K-Lite Codec Pack (Performance and Compatibility modes).

Also, you could upload the LOG files generated when loading one of your VOB files in both codec packs.

1. Settings > Advanced, ensure "Record detailed LOG" is enabled, then click "Restart".
2. Open one of your files
3. Settings > Advanced, click "View". Copy & Paste.
4. Close al programs, uninstall codec pack, install the other one, and repeat.

Any news on how long it will be before the next release?

Hello and grats, this software is very nice.
I'd like to ask a few things.

1) I can see no specific setting for PAL/NTSC, is there a hidden option/command for that?
2) Will/could there be an extra or a couple extra layers of video or images, similar to the logo layer? I think it'd be a very useful visual feature.

Thank you very much

BETA 4 has been upgraded! If you downloaded it before May 28th, then please redownload it again. I forgot to include the files for supporting the MIDI external controllers, so they stopped working. After redownloading and updating the controllers will work again.
