    Is there going to be a video plug in for traktor scratch like serato scratch video-sl because i know that the quality of sound on a traktor scratch is better than serato ?

    ATM there are no plans to implement such a feature.

    if you're interested in having such, you may want to contact support to get your wish counted! ;)

    I guess NI better starts to develop...I don't understand how they are going to compete with other DJ-warez in the future? Traktor now, more or less, has it all. Traktor 4 with another 50 knobs, you'll never use? What's the use of that? I say 'go video'.

    Virtual DJ, what it does today:

    -it plays music
    -it plays video
    -it shows pics
    -it shows visuals (pics or video)
    -it shows visuals, pics, video on beat
    -it has a txt generator (also on beat)
    -it has camcorder in (also in on beat)
    -it has VST & videoFX
    -it allows pc-multimedia (rendered to video)
    -it has a sampler
    -midi-control
    -DMX (lighting management)
    -broadcast
    -interface adaptable
    - ....

    I just replaced CUE (Virtual DJ) with Serato - because all the 'cool' video options were just getting in the way of mixing music, and causing more headaches than it was worth...

    If it does get added, I hope its a totally seperate product, because it seems that once a program starts to do to many things at once, somethings bound to fall apart...

    Im kind of glad that there is not such a video plug in for Traktor scratch. I think it would put a definate hurt on the quality of traktor scratch that we as users are use to.I also feel this would move buyers that are more grass rooted hip-hop DJs not to purchase Traktor Scratch....just a thought.:D

    Cannot understand the video options are getting in the way if you don't use them? So why using the program then?

    -it has VST & videoFX that crash the program
    -it freezes randomly
    -it has a sampler
    -midi-control
    -DMX (lighting management)
    -broadcast
    -it has a collection of the ugliest GUIs ever designed. It's like all the old Winamp 2X guys started skinning for VDJ.
    - ....

    i do not agree:
    -i never had a crash,
    -it performs very well,
    -i don't care about popularity, i do care for what i can give my clients, more than music
    -i use several vst & video effects combined, works with no problem
    -nor i or my clients are interested in the GUI, it's a all-in one tool i can use.
    - i use it with a old single 3.0ghz and a crappy ati-card (256mb), no problems at all.
    - one thing could be better, overall sound isn't that good as traktor.

    I promote up above list of many facilities amongst other wedding-dj's who only have one line to promote:"im a dj, yes you can hire me"

    Now i'm working on a SMS-server, so people can send sms-messages to the projector screen. "Sorry honey, were a wedded couple now, but i sleep with uncle Patrick tonight"
