Hi All, long time user first time poster :)
I've just started Dj'ing again so thought I would get virtual DJ 8 :) used to use 7 2/3yr ago and loved it :) I've got mega problems with it crashing and I don't know why, I've tried a few things but nothing seems to work & the crashing seems totally random, it's a good laptop so the hardware has no mega load on it, the song will continue to play but the decks freeze so I have to switch to CDs and reset the laptop, it's a major headache to the point where I dare not mix or touch the laptop incase it crashes :( I've tried a optimisation program to tune things up but it's the same or even worse, i load my music from an external usb hard drive, could that cause the crash?
Sorry for the long post, any help is most appreciated, thank you.

to many problems with 8 also (right now ver 8 does not work right with Denon SC3900's) which i DJ with :-( so i just installed VDJ 7 all problems went away. wont install 8 for a few years till they fix all the bugs . thats just my 2 cents

I'm tired of the standard reply. "It has too many issues". Honestly 8 has been very stable and if you're experiencing crashes there has to be a reason. Start with laptop specs. Then how many programs are running in the background More than likely the CPU is overloaded

If you are experiencing a crash it's also extremely useful to us if you can replicate it whilst you are logged into your software and connected to the internet.
This way a copy of the crash is automatically uploaded and we can then fix it ASAP :)
If it's 'freezing' then that is a bit more difficult to diagnose, but as above it would be useful to get system specs, hardware attached, media type - may even a video or something of the issue :)

Same problem here.
I'm using a Macbook pro (late 2010) and it keeps crashing. It freezes and the music keeps playing but as soon as it changes to next video/music it stops.
it doesn't happen with VDJ 7 but the 8 is much more user friendly and you don't have to install all the plugins.
Would love to use your system at my bar with the ContentUnlimited Video (payed for one month to try) but wont renew it till you fix this.
Hope you guys can solve this fast. Thanks

I have VDJ8 Pro on a windows 7 laptop. Last night, during a karaoke show, VDJ simply closed three times. Also, lately the videos are skipping. A few lyrics suddlenly disappear, or the line (that moves across the lyrics) disappears while the lyrics are still there, and then, suddenly, appears again. Also, having difficulty adding a Pioneer DDJ Ergo controller. Had communication from it to the laptop, but no sound. This is getting very frustrating.

You should try replacing the USB cable that connects your controller to the computer.

Same here. We have 4 DJ's and they use different consoles and it happens to every one of them - always at random times. Gonna try to roll back to VDJ7.
