I bought a macbook pro for DJing a couple of years ago and it was a nightmare, is VDJ any better on it now?

I have been testing VDJ 6.0.1 (PUBLIC BETA) since release now - and i know some people have had issues - but i havent had a single problem.
I have the late 2008 Macbook Pro 2.53ghz with 4gb DDR3 RAM. Performance with VDJ is excellent.
The only issue i have had is a slight flicker to video out - but hopefully this will be rectified with Snow Leopard (due September 09) and all the problems will disappear ;)

This is one thing I am interested in, video and external screens with mac. Is it easier to get video to a screen with a mac?

I've had some problems with the beta version and my Hercules RMX, its gotten better with beta 2, but the lingering problems remain.
Im not a big fan of having to turn off my wireless connection just to start the program, and also having to be carefull not to push a wrong button or the program is gonna crash.
The old version worked better with thr RMX, but the loop in / out buttons didnt work correctly on the controller, so you have to set up keyboard shortcuts to use them properly.
I'd say wait for the final release of VDJ6 (whenever that may be) for Mac to decide to buy a new computer.

ive had a pc running virtual for a while now..and now I have a macbook pro late 08 with 2.4ghz 4gigs of ram and it runs flawless...i can run a video terabyte,music terabyte, and karaoke terabyte all at once and it doesnt even blink an eye....ive noticed it runs the best on the high res skin and the only flaw ive seen is running video off of netsearch..... but besides that i believe it destroys pc

Adapters are available to run on external displays. No problem there.
The only issue i think is that the drivers within OSX Leopard, compared to Windows 7 via Bootcamp they are miles behind. But i understand they are being improved in OSX Snow Leopard (out in September - as previously mentioned)

I just got my MacBook Pro today and so far it's been a good change. I have no issues right now with attaching the two Denon DN-S3700 to a Hercules RMX console and using Serato timecode cd. Hopefully there will be no really crucial issues that I will have to face. I can't wait till they have the finalized MAC version of VDJ Pro.
