Thank you so much for your patience and assistance! ;-) You've definitely helped me along.
I'll continue playing with the various modes and see if I can figure out what the heck's going on. I'll post up further if I run into more challenges.
Thanks!

One last thing which comes into my mind. As the Demo Version you are currently using for testing is only a demo the Timecode CD functionality is limited. So you will lose timecode control after 10 - 15 min of playing. Then you have to restart VDJ to get timecode control again.
Someone may correct me if I´m wrong.
Best regards
Marcel

Gotta question on my video card side...I'm wondering if my video card is enough to handle VDJ without issues arising? If it's not...is there a way to run the video out of VDJ to an external video card off of my laptop?

ATI™ Mobility™ Radeon® x600 with 128 MB of dedicated video memory
Supports PCI-E graphics,
Afraid it MIGHT be too slow for video mixing on second monitor.
I got a x700 on a laptop, and it works, so maybe you are lucky :)
There are (almost) no such thing as external graphic card. Well there is, but its very new, and you need a PCI-E Express slot on your laptop to use it.

Thank you...well, I went in and took a dive on a new laptop computer in preparation for a second mobile DJ rig.
I picked up a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8822. Pretty nice laptop. I was after dedicated video card memory. With this one, I get 256mb of dedicated video memory.
Specs can be viewed here --->> http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/toshiba-satellite-p305-s8822/4507-3121_7-32976928.html
I'll load up VDJ on this booger and give it a run for it's money!

ah.. think thats an excellent choice for a PC, with rock solid specs and great brandname ;)

Thanks...and it was a breeze to set up VDJ with it! VDJ is performing very well with this laptop. The video side also is nice and smooth.
You were a big help with me understanding the setup features of Timecodes. ;-)
