Observations of smart and absolute mode:
We changed a little the relative/smart/absolute behavior in b1946.
What the "timecode mode" do now, is just define how VirtualDJ 8 will behave when you needle-drop:
Relative mode: in relative mode, any needledrop will be ignored, and the playing will continue from the current point.
Absolute mode: in absolute mode, any needledrop will move the song to the exact distance from the beginning of the record.
So if you put the needle at the 1mn mark, your song will go to 1mn.
NOTE: if you changed the pitch in the software (by using the SYNC button, or by having auto-bpm on), then the distance will take the "software portion" of the pitch into account.
This way, as long as you dont change the pitch again on the software (you can still change on the timecode turntable), everytimes you jump to the same position, it guarantees to bring the song to the same point over and over. (so you can sticker your positions).
Smart mode: in smart mode, if you needledrop over a small distance, the song position will be moved from the same distance (relative). And if you move over a bigger distance, then the entire length of the timecode record will match the entire length of your song (so if you needledrop exactly in the middle of your timecode record, it will go to the middle of the song).
In smart mode, by default, timecodeSnapCue is set to yes, so if you needledrop near a cue point, it will snap to this cue point.
Absolute mode is now the default on a fresh install, since it's the favorite for scratch DJs and timecode is mostly used by scratch DJs.

Timecode drift : For regular movements & normal operations it holds up well. I can get the timecode drift on fast backspins
Set timecodeAntiSkip to "no" in the options, and see if you still get drifts with b1964?

WOW I'm really impressed with the improvements to time code 1946, no drifting so far here using the CDJs and selecting new track while another is playing on the same deck now works as it should
Note to people using Timecode CD with VirtualDJ timecode signal:
To get a flawless experience, you need to go in options and set timecodeIsCD to "true"
(this is set automatically to true or false when you use a serato vinyl or CD, but for the virtualdj CD it still needs to be changed manually in b1964)

Doing some blends last night and noticed the pitch acts funny, but I know I need pitch calibrated on one of them, so I 0 the pitch and notice how the pitch reacts to changing the pitch. It's like when you have pitch sensitivity set to to high in v7. It gets there .01 step at a time.

You are right... if you are using Serato time code the pitch will be about +0.34 by default and if you are using VDJ TC the pitch will about -0.12

Are you sure your anti-skip option is off ?
Are you also using relative ?
If so try in absolute mode. For serious scratches, absolute is the mode you should choose, It is still flexible enough to allow hot cues, etc.
Make sure that you don't change the software pitch slider (must be 0% on software)

Explain what you mean when you say 0% does that mean you cant use pitch when in absolute mode

No drift on the CD side of things using apopsis settings
