You actually only need 1 screen connected to your pc, and a video card with a dedicated composite video output or tv output. A few sites for video are smashvidz.com, my12inch.com and 8thwonderpromos.com. They range from $10 a month to $50 a month. They have lots of music videos and mp3 content. Hope that was helpful ! Cheers ! Will K.

depends in what output the computer have. mine has a RGB. every monitor has this too so i just buy a rgb cable(15 pin male to male). connect the monitor to you computer .do the settings to use it like a external monitor. then go to vdj menu in the video tab select activate and select the monitor in the TV output little window. that's the way i do it i hope and this help you.

For music vids try Promo Only or MixMash.
I'm sure there are a few more. VenueVJ was one but there's appears to be on hold for some reason...after blagging a bundle of us video users to sign up to it!!!
Having spoken to David @ Promo Only recently he explained to me that there's shortly gonna be a big campaign from them advertising their new download service which will be fabulous for alot of us i think...but he couldn't offer a timescale on it.
Exciting times for us vidspinners methinks...:o)
Good luck with the new setup!
Keep spinnin...(",)
