Some Pools you can check out is:

idjpool.com
latenightrecordpool.com
directmusic service.com
djcity.com

I'm currently using www.franchiserecordpool.com which is alright to me it's $19.99 a month but willing to pay more for music so will be looiking into djcity.com which $90 for 3 months.

The first 3 website should have video i believe and the one I currently use has video as well (franchiserecordpool)
 
i get my videos from 2 places smashvidz.com and latinosunidosonline.net
 
ok thanks alot guys I appreciate the help
 
you might get more help if you fixed your keyboard too.

there are smaller pools of remixed vj friendly videos but not quite sure how legal they are at this point. "promotional use only" videos that are actually quite good but until i figure out how legal they are to use - they wont be going to work.
 


Smashvidz - Best for new material, various edits of each release (singles, extends, quick edits, remixes etc) and generally they service a lot of Hip hop, not so much dance apart from the chart toppers.

Xtendamix - Massive catalogue covering all kinds of genres, they have the biggest library of oldschool I've seen, and they take requests seriously! The downside is their video quality and encoding isn't always up to par, especially on their older content, which for me means I have to delete videos I'd rather have not, luckily for them they offer good value.

DTvideos - Is entirely devoted to house/club edits, their videos look and sound good and they know how to edit, the only downside is sometimes the quality of the actual tracks on offer (of course partially dictated by what's out), it means some weeks you find yourself light on usable content.

I'd recommend each of the sites above but chances are you'll need a combination of services, you can't base an entire collection around one site or service.

thanks alot bagpuss ima ck all these sites out:)
 
I use Smashvidz and VJStreet
 
www.promoonly.com USA
www.promoonly.co.uk UK & Europe

Fully licensed for public performance and download options available too.


Many of the above sites aren't (or weren't before) licensed with the VPL (Video Performance Licence)
Your venue's PRS licence only covers the performance of Vinyl and CD audio, not the showing of music videos.

Man, I can definitely use that site. I DJ at a Electro/House club. That will definitely be a great addition to VJstreet. I found Smashvidz is only good for Top40 and Hip Hop


I wish Beatport would do videos.

No because non of them are UK based so they don't play by our fairytale rules. Promo would have more love if they knew what they were doing.

If you're interested in pay per download take a look at crooklynclan.net - It's all remixes, mashes, transitions and other performance tools of popular genres including house.
