Hold it!
The HARD DRIVE is probably one of the most important things.
Make sure you have at last a 10,000 rpm drive.
I use the WD Raptors and I never looked back. Video pausing and stuttering are problems I experinced with cheaper hard drives.
Make sure you do a clean instal of windows.

1. if possible record the audio to how the video stutters and share the file here. use a site like
http://rapidshare.de/
2. i saw this thread yesterday and waited to see whether your problem would be fixed by today.
search google for computer shifting from DMA to PIO mode.
http://winhlp.com/WxDMA.htm
"...The most frequent use why a CD or DVD port falls back to PIO mode is a scratched or otherwise unreadable CD or DVD.
However, there are a few reasons why a computer may use PIO instead of DMA, particularly when it's the hard disk port that falls back, not a CD/DVD drive port. "
it could be a motherboard problem. i had my files playing problematic and a new motherboard fixed that.
3. formating, buying new hard drives is the last option.
hopefully someone will help you with this before your gig.

let everyone know if you fix the problem.
-----------------------------------------
for all you other guys with pcs over 3 years old if the capacitors of your motherboard look swelled your motherboard is about to die on you. mine did. the result was computer being unable to play only audio and video files on secondary drive, keyboard failure (and had to replug it in), video problems; video would just mess up and blue screen of death with video driver (ati2vg) as problem if pc was cold.
all you guys running old pcs with 1.6Ghz and under pcs have been warned.
or pcs that came with Windows ME.
got a new motherboard and now no video driver problems (almost replaced video card). no keyboard problems. and now playing files from secondary drive.
old motherboard PC133 memory USB 1.0, new motherboard PC 2700 memory USB 2.0. running 900Mhz running almost twice faster.

Try going into config and changing the video setting for tv output to window.
Also, experiment with or without hardware acceleration

Support staff
There are two main causes for problems with laptops and video.
The most common is shared video memory.
Many laptop's video cards use the onboard memory for the video, and thus share the bus with the CPU, which will dramatically impact the performance.
We are actually working for version 4 to help diagnose these problems by letting the software know and warn you if the videocard has its own memory or not.
The other problem (though unfrequent), as stated above, can be the harddrive. This is especially true of course if you're trying to play video from an external harddrive plugged on a USB1 port (seems obvious, but we've seen many of that in support ;)
But anyway, the minimum requirement for version 4 will say that audio playback can work on anything starting from a 1Ghz cpu with 256Mb ram, but smooth video playback requires a good video card without shared memory, thus if you are not sure we recommand desktop or small factor rather than laptop. If you use a laptop for video scratching, please make sure it has a dedicated video memory.

So, how would you find out if you are sharing video memory? I don't use a laptop, but those that do, could use this info.

i think if u video card's on board most likely its going to be shared. ie next to the keyboard, mouse connectors.
if AGP or PCI-e (where they had their own cards) ur straight.

Sounds like the video card is the problem to me, he says in the first post that it's 128MB - I thought you needed at least 256 to run video properly?

For Laptops use ATI MOBILITY RADEON CARDS!
I have it, has dedicated memory, and works fine

Support team has a point, and so Norway, use ATI cards with dedicated video memory, at least 128Mb models. Someone should contact Nvidia for this problems with their Video cards built in laptops and their drivers.

"can somone help me please i built a desktop with a pentium chip 3.0 ghz processor"
As the customer of the thread pointed out, he's using a Desktop and NOT a laptop, just to clarify, either some misunderstood or we're going off topic.
SQUEEZEEYE, Do you still require help regarding your Desktop PC and Virtual DJ performance?, as you haven't commented since you opened the thread.

I just realised that you have 2Gig of ram, so you must have at least 2 modules. Are they the same? Try using only one module (1Gb) to see how it perform. Let us know so we can help you further.

i brought it backteh the store and they told me the problem was my motherboard so they are taking it apart now

they gave me a desktop to borrow that has 3.0 ghz and 512 DDR2 ram and my nvidia 128 card and they video worked perfectly so they are convinced that it might be the motherboard even though it is new.
i will keep you guys posted

Well i went back to the store and they told me they found no problem but oi know there is a problem somwhere i just can't put my finger on it . they even said the mother board was in excellent shape :( well theuy know nothing for computer technicians so i traded mine in and got a new system from them
P 4 3.0 GHz
intel board
512 RAM DDR2
hyperthread
fire wire
card readers
80 gig master drive with windows and VDJ only
250 gig storage all my video and music
its the one that they lent me
it worked great for my gig
