I'm setting up my new laptop and have found that several of my .VOB and MPEG2 video files kind of stutter along,the audio is fine.These are videos that have worked fine for years on my old dell and they play ok on my new laptop with windows media player.
new laptop is a i7 with a nvidia 3gig video card,16 gig ram.I'm playing them off of internal hard drive.
I converted 180 of the mpeg2 files to mp4 and they now work fine but the .vob files are worse if converted to mp4.

I also tried changing codecs to the window media player video codec and it is the same,the audio is slow compaed to to video portion.
 
Try going into config and and in the video options, check "Decode while Hidden"


I used to have a huge stutter/ out of sync problem with all my mp4's and then i did that and it seemed to do the trick.

i've the same laptop as you with the same problem, i've hit a dead end with vdj tech support, i think i'll have to buy a new lappy or switch to serato video
 
Exactly what card do you have?
What does VDJ call the card in the video dropdown box?
What tweaks have you tried already?
 
I have the same laptop and it works perfectly. You don't need to buy a new laptop. Answer the questions above and people will help you configure the settings so it works fine.
 
Maybe the 48kHz conversion option.
 
Got same problem on my old laptop

Found out it was the graphic card, that was about to crash.. so need to buy a new laptop...
 
If you switch to serato, then you will have to use mp4 files any way so what is the point , maybe its the conversion you are using....................................
good luck

You say your old machine is a Dell, but you never say what your new machine is.

I have found that converting my problem .vob files to .avi seems to take care of problem.
The software that I'm converting videos with is made by Imtoo and it works well.
My old Dell is a 2004 core duo 1.6 with 256 meg video card and 1 gig of ram,and I use a external seagate 3 terrabyte hard drive.This system works perfectly.

VDJ does recognize my video card,so far I have used the registry editor and it helped my earlier problems with program crashing.
 
@pirate,
You may just love me for this :p. I have a similar laptop that I bought in January. It worked perfectly out of the box. same video card. About 6 weeks ago... video stuttering. I reinstalled windows. reinstalled VDJ, reinstalled video driver... fresh clean install. Stuttering. Do a quick test... turn off hardware acceleration. does that video stutter quit? roll back the video card driver to a previous version. nvidia's latest mobile GeForce drivers have created issues with certain programs. Virtual DJ is one of them. Hope this is all your problem is. Good Luck!!
 
Thanks for your input NoWrath,my system is working enough to use and I carry my old back up Dell.
I'm going to sit tight and hope that next version of VDJ will magically fix all my problems, reading through the posts on this forum I can see that I'm not the lone ranger with this issue.
 
I have just bought a new computer with windows 8. My video playback stutters when playing all the videos. do i need to download something to stop the stuttering?
 
A nice bit of old thread digging you've done there!

To answer your question you need to provide much more info.

What spec is the computer? Does it have a dedicated video card or is it integrated & using system RAM?
 
What are the specs of your laptop? How much RAM, type of video card and how much memory does it have? You know the basic stuff.
 
Im also experiencing the same problem, Im running VDJ7 on a Windows 8 platform, laptop is HP Probook 4340s i5, direct x 11, intel HD graphics 4000 card. Apparently videos on serato run flawlessly but on VDJ7 they seem to stutter with lag on video. If I uncheck hardware acceleration, recording is disabled but videos run smoothly. what could be the issue? These used to work pretty well on my Core 2 Duo Hp laptop...
