i think this is what you are asking....
you can record a dj session in mp3 format but not the video part. for that you can get a cheap dvd recorder and capture it all that way then rip it all back in via smartripper.
note the cheap dvd recorders are fine for keeping at home but often don't last long when moving them around to your gigs.

westwood4ever,
are you referring to recording sound only or recording the video with an external dvd recorder?
Recording mp3 is very simple:
- Click on the rec button at the middle of the screen (default skin)
- Select "Record file"
- Click "Config"
- Choose a proper filelocation and filename
- Select the location of the lame encoder dll (normally in the vdj program folder)
- Click "Start recording"
