Have you set the quality fader all the way to the left hand side on the options tab?
As for videos, if you're in europe you can try www.mixmash.com
Not sure where abouts in the world you are, but in the UK, a venue needs a license from VPL to legally play music videos on their screens. They also need a license from PPL to allow them to play music publically, but any club should have that already.
If you want to put mp3s onto your computer, in the uk you're meant to have a "digital dj license" to enable you to use the files for public performance. I don't think any other countries have this though.
As far as I know, nobody's ever been prosecuted for simply having copied music videos onto their hard drive.
I think there's even a few people on here who illegally download music vids and use those, I've never heard anybody say that they've had legal issues! (Wouldn't recommend it though, doesn't look very professional!)

I'm from Dublin, Ireland! I'm not sure what the story with licensing over here is! I've never been asked for a license or proof of my music though! Bagpuss mentioned the licensing in the UK to me once. It does make sense though cos in all fairness I'd say theres not even one DJ on this site that has got all their music 100% legally! A lot of mine is from CD's I bought, some is from mates CD collections and then theres some dodgy downloaded ones! But 90% of the music I use for cub gigs (chart, hip-hop, rnb etc) is music I bought. I only use a downloaded song if Im really stuck ie. in a huge rush to get to a gig on time and don't have a chance to go out and buy it untill after!

No, same here in England, I've never actually met anybody who's been asked to prove where they got all their music from. (I've heard 'I know a guy, who know a guy that it happened to...')
A number of DJs think that the record companies know that most people have at least the odd track obtained without perchase, so that's why they made that digital dj license, just to try and get some of that money that they're losing. I'm not that cynical, but it's a good point!
Since you're in dublin, i don't think that license even applies to you though.
Sounds like what you're doing makes sense, only downloading when it's necessary. There's lots of people who just think 'why pay when i can get it for free?'. Apparently if you were ever caught with illegal downloads the fine in the past has been about £70 per CDs worth, so if you keep the number of tracks down to a minimum you wouldn't be in that much hot water even in the unlikely event of them tightening up enforcement.

Well I guess the digital DJ license does make sense then! No doubt it will be everywhere in a few years!
Anyways, thanks for all the help guys!! All I have to do know is concentrate on getting my music video collection together!! Any tips on that feel free to post!!
Thanks,
Rory!

You need to get that fixed, and in a hurry. How old is this Herc? Maybe it just needs to be cleaned, with contact cleaner. Read the directions, FIRST.

I think its about 1 and a 1/2 years old. TBH after about 2 months there was bits falling off it. The jog wheels keep falling off it aswell!! An none of the buttons ever really worked after about a month!! Bit of a waste of money but it's what got me in to DJ'in!
I pretty much just use the herc as a sound card and sometimes I use the jog wheels, not a huge amount though 'cos I have a load of cue points set up in most of my songs!
I don't think it needs to be cleaned because it only happens sometimes. I think its something more to do with VDJ unfortunatley!
