pops/clicks says you've got your sound card latency too low. Go to the ASIO control panel for the sound card and raise the latency a bit and try again. By the way, in vdj, under "performances" settings, the latency should be set to "auto".
Hope that helps.

ASIO is for PC. Use Audio MIDI Setup (Apps>Utilities) Make sure you are on Audio Devices tab and select your device under "properties for". May or may not help though as that is the audio side of things.
Do the obvious stuff like making sure no other apps are working and disable your wifi so your computer can focus completely on VDJ
Maybe even put the videos on an external drive so your internal hard drive can focus on the application. Its all about the RAM though. If your MacBook is maxed out at 2GBs it is old and may not be able to perform. Mac is dropping support for Power PC shortly so an upgrade is unavoidable....

while we're on the topic, I too am having problems playing video's on my desktop.
Wont play on my laptop but that's cuss it's an ee-pc.
Anywho I've got Intel Pentium 4 at 3.2 GHz along with 3 Gigs ram
The graphics card, ommiting the stock one, is NVIDIA GeForce 9500 with 1 gig graphics mem
Two sound cards, the one I have installed is a Sound Blaster 5.1 card.
I'm playing all music/videos off an external HD but my computer still struggles to load or even play tracks (cpu reading 100%)
any ideas??
Also I'm wanting to upgrade my laptop to a Mac, but which one would be a wise choice for Video DJing??
cheers
