Hi Alex Figueroa,

Sorry to hear your having problems with your Scratch Live and Video-SL. Lets get them sorted.

Firstly, could you please detail your full computer specs including the graphics card that is installed as this will help us to troubleshoot your problem more acurately.

Are you using a full version or demo version of Video-SL ?

Which mixer are you using ? Are you using MIDI to crossfade the video ?

I would suggest updating your Mac OS to 10.6.8 also.

Are your video files MP4 ?

The recommended container is MP4 with the H.264 Codec for video and AAC Codec for audio.

The video part of your file should have keyframes every 15-25 frames.

If you use Handbrake to encode your video files we have created a preset you can use. There is a preset for PC and preset for Mac.

Some iTunes files will have DRM tags and will not play in other media players.

If you could let me know these details and we'll take it from there.

I re-down loaded Scratch Live 2.3.3 and while in the process, I noticed that my settings had me using the Rane ttm57 . I'm currently using SL1. When I corrected my settings and re-downloaded Scratchlive my videos began to play without restarting from the beginning. Thank you for responding to my problem.
