This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

Hi guys,

What would be the best operating system and what must be turned off within windows to make it faster to run properly for VDJ.

Windows 7 32
Windows 7 64
Windows XP

XP Professional 32 bit would be my OS of choice, however it seems to run fine in Windows 7 32 bit as well.

You can carry out optimisations if you want to but I've never bothered and VDJ works fine on both those operating systems.

I would avoid 64bit for the mo ..... 3gb RAM is more than enough anyway!
 
I'm running windows 7 32-bit. It's on a mac though, but is flawless.
 
Even though windows 7 works, i still preffer Windows XP. Its compatable with all the drivers and the latency is very low. The lower the latency, the better the responce time.

Thanks Sischo..
 
Latency ;)
 
XP Pro is the go, as it is the most stable I've found for VDJ
 
I agree. Windows XP is my choice.

hello

I've been running it just fine on WIndows 7 Premium x64bit. Pretty stable with the optimizations, the longest session i did was a 5 hour Gig, and performed without any hiccups. If I decided to add WIndows XP. Would i get anymore Performance gains as far as latency that's mentioned above?? I'm using virtual DJ with Hercules rmx. On the herules rmx control panel, my Latency is set to 10ms, that's to stay on the safe side. and in the virtual DJ app, I tick off Safe and Overclock, left it on auto and the performance SLider is at the default position which is more near to fast performance. I notice alot of people with the hercules rmx set's the slider to fast, I did that, and didn't really notice much of a difference, so i put it back where it was, just to insure myself. If anyone has any suggesstions or using the hercules rmx stably at a lower latency, please share, thanks

Came with Vista x64 originally, upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit Premium
 
i run windows 7 64 with no real problems.
 
XP Pro all the way. I do videos at a local club quite regularly with no latency or lag whatsover using VDJ 6.0.3 and the K-lite codec pack
 
XP Pro; I can run VDJ LE for audio, Media Player Classic Homecinema for video and MS Powerpoint all at the same time with no issues.
My hardware is nothing special.
 
hiya ive put a particion on my laptop to run both xp & windows 7 ive got vdj 6.6 running on both operating systems & both work flawless the reason ive put xp on aswell is becouse my midi controler (bcd2000) as only got drivers for xp at moment ive got to say (believe me or not) the bcd2000 is working flawless with the 3.4 mappers only paid £30 for it off a freind love it. im getting myself a tower this week so i,ll be able to compare them soon
 
Drum roll please......Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr And the winner is........................ Windows XP

ok, bring on the drums...

There is no "best" OS for using with VDJ. I use XP on one machine, and Vista64 bit on another, with no issues. The big thing is proper configuration of your PC. If it is a big box outlet PC the user is going to need to spend time deleting all the bloatware that came with it. If it is one custom made, there are often tweaks that are still needed to ensure maximum performance. That being said, XP does have the fastest usb speeds of all the windows OSs on the market at this time.
 
Exactly Terry, Every person has their on experiences with operating systems.
Don't put me on the XP-Express. I had "issues" with XP.

After I updated to VISTA I've been crash free (using 99% video) since December 2008 with more than 1000 hours of "live performance" on the machine. My backup computer which I rotate in and out of service also runs VISTA with no issues. (I have Win-7 on my home computer and it's been NOTHING but a pain.
 
I found Win Pro worked the best tbh


But i skipped vista and now have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit.

Not one hic-up yet!

I agree with you mate!!!

I've used XP (32bit), Vista (32bit) and now 7 (32bit)

Out of the 3 I do prefer 7. I haven't had any problems with it since I installed it last November. Both my DJ software's run perfectly on Win 7!!!!
 
I use win7 64 and it rocks!
 
Someone is bound to say Mac?
