Time is money -- how to create more of both. Thanks to our new DFF MPEG4 DVD selections, music video has never been easier to use, more affordable or more effective in bringing you new business…

Saving Time. Making Money.

Not so long ago, there was really only one option for playing music video – you bought a DVD player, you inserted the DVD, pressed play, and voilà – you were a VJ. Nothing wrong with that, other than the hassle of carrying a video library to every gig and rifling through some dozen-plus DVDs every three minutes to find the song you need.

Then came computer programs that would play music videos. Only they weren’t so reliable.

And DVDs were still being made to be played in DVD players.

More recently we’ve seen serious strides in software that have brought the performance previously reserved for high-end DVD players to laptops in a major way, for a fraction of the cost. Almost overnight, it seems as though solid, sophisticated computer-performance has become something most of us already take for granted.

And DVDs were still being made to be played in DVD players… until now.

Today, we’re proud to say that those hours it takes to convert, tag and store music video to hard drive – and the often frustrating learning curve that goes with it -- are a thing of the past, thanks to our new line of DFF (digital file format) discs.

The DFF Difference

Rip a standard DVD and you’re in for some work, albeit not the hours of backbreaking labor some would have you believe. You will have to extract the MPEG2 files from their VOB containers (VOB is what your DVD player actually reads); you will have to tag (title) them; and you will have to convert them to MPEG4 (the file format most VJ software programs recognize), a process that can take anywhere from 20-30 minutes for you to initiate, and a few hours for your computer to complete.

Not so bad, at first glance. But convert an entire video library over to your hard drive and you can see where the minutes add up...

On the other hand, here’s how easy loading a Promo Only DFF disc is: Drag. Drop. Done. Really.

Our DFF discs come to you already tagged (with artist, title, BPM and more), already as high-quality MPEG4s and all ready for you to simply copy and paste to your desktop.

All of which means that adding music video – and the additional revenue it provides – has never been easier.

The Video Advantage

Let’s say you’re a bride. Or maybe a club owner. You’re looking to hire a DJ. You’ve narrowed your list down to two possible candidates. The first DJ is no slouch: He looks good, talks a good game, has references -- even a CD of some of his best mixes. You’re impressed. In walks DJ #2, portable DVD player in hand. He greets you, thanks you for your time, and invites you to watch a demo of his video show. You smile immediately at the sight of the classic videos that perfectly capture the theme of your event; you continue to be drawn in by the flow of videos and live-camera footage across a projection screen that frames the DJ as he works your audience. As the demo fades to black, you can’t help but ask how DJ #2 managed to customize it all with a succession of video overlays that announce everything from birthdays to anniversaries, homecomings, holidays and more…

Which DJ are you going hire?

Simply put: Video gives you more to offer, which means more offers (and income) for you.

Advantage: music video.

A look at the new Denon DN-X1700 Flagship Digital Mixer -- Denon flexes some prodigious engineering muscle to offer a market-driven digital mixer sure to top its class…

Big props to Denon for the grass-roots research and cutting-edge design that have gone into the development of their new DN-X1700 Flagship Digital Mixer. Taking their cue from real-world professional DJs, Denon’s engineers have come up with an intuitive, Swiss-Army knife of a mixer that compliments any DJ style.
