Are there any video dj's here? we are looking at going into music videos, just wondering if anyone already does this and if so where you get your videos from? Any reccomended and well priced sites?

Thanks

Promo Only, TMCentury, VJ-Pro, VJ Street, Crooklyn Clan.
 
Looking for a site that will give us the uk top 40? any ideas have had a quick look on the ones that you gave but cant see a section for that. Would we have to do it one by one or is there a site that would give it week by week?

thanks
 
I'm sure one of my UK friends will be here to help you soon. Good luck
 
'Promo only' do a weekly download of top 40 stuff and also lots of DVDs you can rip for DJ'ing with. I think they're only ones here in the UK now.
 
Try Mastermix in the UK

http://www.vjstreet.com, Crooklyn Clan, and 8th Wonder Promos (if they ever come back from being down for maintenance) are the ones I use.
 
Thanks for all the links to possible music video sources.

It looks like the only site I might be able to use from South Africa is vjstreet - the others are for US, Canada and UK only.

Can anyone confirm if the audio and video quality of the videos on vjstreet are good? Are they MP4s? 1080p? 720p? Other resolutions? I cannot get resolution info anywhere on their website and the audio and video quality of the preview videos are terrible.

Thanks.
 

Most services are delivering at 360p - resolution isn't the key factor in determining quality, the main factor is whether they're being supplied by the labels or not and if they are do they know how to encode a video properly? For optimal quality, file size and playback in DJ software, many sites get a lot of things wrong including the label supported sites.
 
Thanks for the heads up, but 360p is pretty much useless - that is worse than SD television.
 

Completely incorrect I can make a 360p video look better than most 1080p youtube videos, even on a large screen, it's not useless actually it's the standard of professional video services - My club manager once asked how I get so many old videos in HD, the answer is I don't.
