First off ... unless you are using the Microsoft Media Player video decoder (selected for a specific file extension type in the Codecs tab) for playing your videos, then there is no reason for loading a codec pack - K-Lite, CCCP, or otherwise ....

The issue is down to what video card, O/S, environment settings and drivers you have loaded ... everything from HIGH End cards to inexpensive basic cards can exhibit the issue. Most freezing issues occur with the nVidia chipsets but not limited to them as I have pointed out there are several factors that can play into a 'freeze' issue.
The majority of people use Windows XP and use a DirectX 9 compliant video card that has DDR3 type memory. Also, they are using cards that have 512Mb of RAM dedicated to the GPU of the card. There are people that have Vista (which is a DirectX 10 O/S) that are successfully running video with minimal or ZERO freezing and in the majority of the cases they have loaded the latest DirectX 9 (which can be installed on a Vista environment) but also have tweaked their O/S for exclusive use for DJ'ng.
But again ... codec packs are unnecessary and not even utilized by VirtualDJ unless you are using the Microsoft MediaPlayer video decoder setting. VirtualDJ already has the codecs embedded in the application for use when using the Video Decoder option in the codecs tab.
If you are experiencing freezes ... I would start by taking a look at the encoding format you are using. And, if you are not encoding the videos yourself but using videos from inappropriate sources then you are at the mercy of the person who encoded the files and should not expect the software to properly decode them. If you can afford the space then you should use VOB files for your videos and if you need to compress or encode files to save space ... then you should encode them as MP4s (H.264).

you're all useless as hell. nobody here actually has any clue. i have read all the forums and none of them have any usefull exact info on how to get video recording and get the codecs all lined up. i need to figure this out or im just gonna scrap this program for video all together. its a good idea but the people who are programming this software need to figure something out for the codecs of video and audio recording together. PEEEEEACE

You don't uninstall DirectX 10.
All you do is download and install the latest DirectX 9 package. You can have both DirectX9 and DirectX10 installed in Vista and you will not get any conflicts.
