Did anybody conquer the feat of using a computer to play music videos with fadein/fadeouts yet, besides DJPower? I'm just in the beginning stages with playing around with about 4 different programs right now.

I got a couple of boys working on the programs, hopefully something will happen soon. Unfortunatetly in the meantime I had to pick up 2 cheap dvd players and video/audio mixer. It does however, work real sweet in combination with otsjuke.

Actually Erik, I cheated. I use the club's tv screens and I did a school dance so far and involved their AV department. I don't have enough business as of yet to invest in anytype of projector.

cool, I think we are going to get into that kind of stuff a few more years down the road. It is really expensive.

I think there are a few dj programs coming in the near future that will handle it. That is why I started real cheap. My DVD players were only 65 each.

We'll see. I have heard of them coming for years now, yet they still aren't here. By the time that they do, They will still be behind.

Playing video is EASY, heck use Media player. Video beatmixing, with transitions, now that is the challenge. Can't wait for the new DJP with LumaKey, Chromakey, & live camera mixing..............

Media player don't give you the fade in/out does it? Tyranosoft is working on a few simple things. Only thing is their newest project does an auto fade in/out and it only supports MPEG1. Their Mimic 2 has continues and will support DVD but there is no fade and there is a short (very short) gap between the songs.

I think if DJP would just sell their program alone, they would have more sales. The whole system idea really hurts them.
