Video-SL General Discussion
Talk about Video-SL for Scratch Live.
If you require help from Rane or Serato please create a help request.
Poll: Where do you get video resources from?
PO since 2003...easy choice in my opinion. Everything is perfect quality, full quality LPCM audio mastered just like their Promo Only CDs.

www.my12inch.com has videos available in mp4 format for download.
signed up to this service this month, quite alot of vids up and you should be ok as I'm from the UK and had no probs joining.
you also get audio promos for hip hop,r'n'b,house,pop,reggae...
there is a 1/3/6 or 12 month options so you can try it for a month before signing up for a year. its 50 US dollars a month.

I think "my12inch.com"'s videos have very low quality. Smachvidz.com are litle better. (I subscribe to both).
PromoOnly, VidDisc that I self convert looks better.

I also think smashvidz.com have low quality. Low bitrate and down sizeing the videos.
Both dan't add many vidoes at all, so the video's I could use are expensive.
I have for the last 2 1/2 year played DVD's on Pioneer X1 2-3times a week, and I don't wanna do gigs with lower audio and video quality.
Converting DVD is stil the winner. For me, MixMash, PO, VidDisc

You can't use those video in public, because I tried it last night and it has MTV Logo. Not unless you have a good lawyer to fight for you LOL. Price per month it's free but you can donate according to the website. I'd rather get video from Promo only than those crappy downloads and maybe will it take you into a deep shit!

I joined smash and I'm satisfied with service. Seems like there making a lot of changes for the good and also getting down a lot more VJ's which means more remixes/vids. etc...I also like that they make clean and dirty versions for vids because I need clean edits sometimes. They also do a lot of accapelas.

Using videos from YouTube is not going to be legal. Although there is a way to view higher quality versions of YouTube videos now (add &fmt=18 to the end of the YouTube URL you're viewing). But as I said, playing them out isn't going to be legal - you haven't been granted rights to use them in public performance.
The legality of SmashVidz is also questionable. Although they have changed the wording of their site to suggest that they're getting the videos directly from labels now, which lends them more an air of credibility, if true.

I joined a weeks ago. The quality is 10/10 for MP4 format (We can talk about bitrate if you want). What I really liked was the fast DL times. Yes the MP3s are free, which is a plus. I talked to their admin and they said that their DJ Tools will be up soon, these will include videos with intro and outros and acapellas...
I know everyone thinks I work for them, but I don't. I am just really impressed so far. I use to get (well, still do) my MP4s from My12Inch & DVDs from PO.

When it comes to video, I think I'd stick with Promo Only because of the quality aspect and the consistency. They may not have every video as fast as another source but the other source may give you a horrible quality version while in a week or two, Promo Only will give you a perfect quality version.
RockAmerica looks very promising although I haven't used it but the prices are more expensive than with PO.

1) The videos are 2000kbps, 720x480, H264. What is the audio quality on the videos with bitrate and all?
2) I know it does not have to do with "videos" necessarily but what is the bitrate for the MP3's available for download on there?
Thanks.

Well after calling Promo Only in the States the reason they won't allow me to subscribe is because they don't have any licensed operators in NZ or Australia to monitor operations . They are looking to setup in Australia , but are unable to give me a date . So I have no legal way to procure Video Clips . Digirama.co.nz is o.k but they have been copyrighted and I am unable to play them in Serato.

Or they could save money by putting the whole DVD up for download each month or week. You could then download the whole DVD or just the tracks you want, but it would still be a set price. Even if they reduced the price to about $20 a month and let you download what you want...they would come off on top because I think they spend a good amount on blank DVD's, cases and shipping cost and all that other shit every month that they wouldn't have to worry about with a download service. The flipside to that is....how much bandwith would they need to service every customer??

This is a great thread, but getting vid if your out of the US is still a huge problem.
This is what I found:
->promo only - deliver only to US.
->iTunes - have a small selection of NON copyright protected video's and the quality isn't great.
->smashvidz - seem to be doing a good thing but the quality isn't good and they only have R&B
-> djvideosource - only have R&B
-->clipmashcb - have an awsome collection.. but 45 pounds for 15 video's??!! I will go broke in now time.
I am an eclectic hip hop dj that likes to mix rock, 80's, 70's and any random stuff I can throw in the mix.
Getting video's is a real problem, while I can buy wax and mix it, if I buy a DVD full video's from a shop I can't rip it because it is copy right protected.
SSL Video has finally made the dream of mixing video possible, but the market just doesn't sell the video's.. Serato, ever think of opening a video shop?
Any other ideas of where to get video's from?

Listen guys let me share something with you guys. I'm going to put it out there like this there is only 2 great sites overall that is on top of the video and audio game in the US US US do you hear me. www.my12inch.com and www.8thwondercdpool.com. Stop looking there you have it, i've been in the professional radio industry for 23 years and that is where you can get them from. Promo Only is cool, but faster service comes from my 12 inch and 8th wonder. 99 percent of the time I get my product before the radio station get there product. The problem I have with DJ's is they go sign up at my 12 inch, and 8th wonder and then close their account, and try to get products from other dj's. I tell all my dj buddies go open up your own account and support my 12inch and Paul over at 8th wonder, because they are making it easy for us the dj's. VDJ Eddie I see you in here keep doing your thing.!!!!

I guess I have a higher standard.
my12inch... is alright. I mainly use it for getting instrumentals, acapellas, etc. The video section is ok... the text tag on the screen is WAY TOO BIG... on some files..

Though usibility can be imporved on 8th wonder I found it damm easy to just signup and download some videos with good quality.
Eddie eye has some cool remixes on it as well and it didn't leave a hole in my pocket at the end of the day.

As far as sites go, I keep several memberships, it only makes sense. Even though DJ Phat Al has a higher standard, it is still cheap to have several sources of video and music. Like I said, I started spinning wax, records pools were 100 a month, imported 12inch records were double the price than domestic(REmember that!) but I paid to get it..why? to stay up on new music. But now an import from france is not extra money, video pools are 10 amonth 8thwonderpromos, 50 for my12inch, 50 a month for rockamerica. yeah some parts of a website are smoother than others but hey, if I can get a few from here and a few from there and it's not breaking my pocket, hey thats good for me. Trust me, cats who have been djing since the wax years know, it is cheap to spin now and easier to get music and videos. Keep several sources of music. it's always worth it.

I get PROMOONLY once in awhile, depending on my needs for that months gigs. But on the real, nothing can touch FORDJSONLYMUSIC@LIVE.COM as far as cost, new product to keep you steps ahead of your dance floor, and the quality is just as good, if not better than, P.O. I also like the fact that their videos come in either Dirty or Clean versions.
At $40 a month for music (breaks down to 50 cents per song), and $100 for video (breaks down to $1.66 per song) all with 32 beat intros, you can't go wrong. These are "all bangers" too!!! No throw away stuff like alot of the other services. MP4s are compressed too, so it doesn't take as much room on your external HD.
You can't go wrong with fordjsonlymusic@live.com

it's sounds dumb when i have to explain it, haha.
i wasn't specifically talking to you Al, but just the people in general that sell to Crooklyn Clan. Yeah, lots of people don't like them, but they are just hustlers trying to make guac (money). I respect the hustle. Now legality is a whole different story that I don't have time to get in to, but someone else may. I say let them be, if there's a market and people are actually paying that amount of money for a 4 minute song, then let them spend their money. The key word was that you are paying the producer/remixer for their "service" not the copyrighted songs. blah blah blah.. someone will continue where i left off or hate on it but you get the idea of the argument.

What about non-music videos. Things like visualizations, short movie/tv clips. I know you can make your own but there has to be some premade stuff out there. DJVideoSource doesn't have that many videos. 8thstreet has an annoying overlay at the beginning and end of the video that show the song, artist, VDJ and 8thstreetpromo on it. Real annoying.

my only real gripe with overlays is when it says " ____.com"
it looks tacky in my opinon. for example...just have "8thwonder promos" not "8thwondepromos.com". not all videos from promo sites have their internet address in their overlay but enough to make it annoying. i don't even like to play them because of that.

8th wonder is only 9 dollars a month and has just a little more updaed and you can see what they have even if you are not a member. Over all i would wait till someone like promo only put 32's on the 40 or so tracks you get a month then it will be worh it!!!

wow, you could not be any more wrong. Smashvidz is one of the best services out there.. You get blends, acapellas, video edit remixes, classic videos, and dj tools.. oh and i forgot to mention.. 8 bar intro's..

just like the reocrd industry them greedy ass sluts, and then people found a way around paying all that loot for somethin that wasnt worth it.
they shouldnt be charging no more than 2 bucks a track.

i dont mind using a couple of breaks a night. My only problem with cc is that everyone has all the same breaks and remixes from their top 20 or 50 list. I think i psoted this before, but the number one complaint I get from friends & prospects is new djs dont let the songs play long enough. I could care less if cc or smashvidz had remixes or breaks of popular songs mashed simply because I know how to do my own video edits and remixes. I have given out a few here and there, but im not taking that apporach anymore. I just keep all my remixes and video edits to myself now. Its not like anyone wants a video transition from im in la bitch to la vida es un carnival anyways :P

By posting a link to a website that you are directly associated with you are advertising. You did it another thread too.
I'm going to leave the links here for now because at least they're related to the conversation. But I don't want to see you doing it again.
If you want to answer questions about the service or describe what it's about in response to other people inquiries that's OK.
But don't shamelessly link to the site yourself.

Nice. I don't care about all the urban and new stuff. I get all that from other video pools just like you said. I have been looking for a pool with more of the classics. So this is perfect.

As for the ringtone code, it says Text "STREET" to 32123 for Ringtones...it only says that on Universal Music videos. On EMI, it says Soundrewards.ca and same for other labels. It's a website where you can buy the songs. It doesn't stay up, it comes up and goes away after 10 seconds, like every music pool.
As for letting other DJs find out where you get your music...well, nothing I can do about that.
Enjoy what you can, but my hands are tied with the labels. Hopefully as the video market in Canada grows, they won't care so much about the ringtones and just let me go to a website. However, for now, that's how it has to be.

Actually all comments given should not be taken negatively in regards to any pools coming from the consumers. They want us to buy/join their pools and we tell them what we want. Simply put as far as Xtendamix goes all the crazy logo stuff they got going on will only hinder them in getting the business they want to have and would have if the logo was more sensible. We the consumer are willing to buy if they did a little moderation. Xtendamix says their hands are tied so we the consumer will look at other avenues. No need to beat a dead horse just find another and ride that into the sun set. They have a good concept and I am an urban guy looking to expand but not with that shit flying all over the video.. Xtendamix if you ever get your logo strait hit me up I will join...Until then you know the deal.....

Thanks for the feedback and you are exactly right. The feedback definately helps. We have shrunk the font size so it doesn't appear as big. We will also be shortening the lengh of the cyron to 10 seconds from 15 seconds in future videos. Your feedback is appreciated and always welcome. Good or bad, we don't expect to start off and be the best. We do want to offer a different variety than most other pools and fill in the gaps where they are lacking.

We're gonna look around at some other encoders as well

some of the videos have the "combing" effect due to not being deinterlaced and/or IVTC (inverse telicine). most are not cropped properly... I know.. beyond your control... I see the ones with the "TEXT for ringtone" as useless... I would never play those live anywhere.

That's all of Universal, they have requested that. Sorry guys.
Let me ask you though, why do you care what is on the chyron? I could keep a clean copy of every extended video used and play them all clean, but what's the point. The purpose is so that people can learn who the artist is, the title of the song, and hopefully buy the ringtone. We need to support the industry. What good would all clean videos be?

I've played using Xtendamix, Promo Only, My12inch, 8th Wonder and Smashvidz. I don't really care the source, as long as I have the video. I don't understand why everyone would worry about the chyron. It comes up and is gone in 10 seconds. Plus, I'm sure most DJs mix quick enough that you'd never see the end chyron, just the beginning. If you guys are worried about other DJs finding out where you get your material, that's a valid reason, but to each their own. They will find out eventually, it's not hard to look it up. I stopped worrying about that years ago. Even if everyone has the same content, you are better than the next guy based on your talent. So just "be better". It's not the music, chances are we are all playing the same music every night, at least 75-80% of it every DJ plays, so what makes us different is experience and talent. Not the source where the content comes from :)

As for Dub Cowboy. I understand your point about the Chyron. Truth of the matter is, if every service was like that, and one implemented it, we would all be up in arms. Other than itunes, I don't think you will find a service that will offer it Chyron free. If you do, it probably isn't gonna be a legit source because the record labels want that information on there. If you want it like that, you'll have to buy DVDs. I understand what everyone is saying, but I don't think we are gonna be able to change it :)

and the funny thing is.. a bouncer asked me if smashvidz and xtendamix would sell him videos, cuz he has a dvd player in his car and thinks it would be cool to play video in his car, that shit makes me un-comfortable
so i hope u and smahvidz DO NOT sell to anyone thats not a dj

We, as djs, get the privilege of video content with the idea we are helping the labels promote their music. Chyrons have been on videos ever since MTV launched so this is hardly a new concept. ours last for 10 seconds each... not that long
Just an observation here: out of all the videos I've seen here available for download:
Dj Kue's "I'm On A Boat", to name one , I'm sure there are more, have chyrons and not one person said a thing about those chyrons.
As for not selling to your bouncer, we don't plan to.
But all it takes is a google search and he can pretty much purchase from quite a few popular sites.

there never was a chyron alternative when it was just audio. So I think we all feel like we have taken on some additional advertising duties. People see something that looks like MTV and that is what they expect now. I don't want to be MTV.
There never was a chyron when labels serviced DJs, and thats what the future needs to be like. DVDs in the mail from the label, chyron free. Until then, we are advertising your businesses (to people who technically should not be buying your product or using your service) in addition to "what the labels are requesting".
Don't get me wrong. I love your businesses, and until the labels figure out what WE THE DJs want, we all need your services. But Henry GQ's point has been a concern of mine since the first video I played publicly. If the music is good enough, people will have NO trouble figuring out who it is and where to get it. Those little conversations have 1000000X more marketing value that your little 10 second chyron.

Most chyrons are 10 seconds. Xtendamix is 15 seconds because it if you are gonna text and buy the ringtone, you need the extra time. We've shrunk the size of the Chyron since from when we first started, and our font size is still smaller than Promo Only, My12inch, etc. However, we do have more information on the screen, so that is why it is smaller. We can argue all day about Chyrons, it's just the way it goes. Our obligations in Canada are different, so the company's website or ringtone/shortcode are there. That's what we did to get permission, those are the rules we follow.

u know scott...
the funny thing is... i seen some regular joe blows with promo only dvds before. not to shove this in ur face, but... this sucks for me(the dj) to think that i can get music videos, but so can everyone else...
:(
and as far as promo onlys, i have some here and there... i buy them when im at the local dj shop
u guys do fine with the chyron, kinda wish u didnt put promo only lettering on it, when u NOW have the watermarks..
plus, u need to be able to download directly from ur site!!!
get with the times! its a new day, i guarantee u will get alot more customers(including me on a much more regular basis!)
the ease of downin from smashvidz or xtendamix or whoever is way easier than waitin for some dvd to come in the mail, or grab it at ur local dj store.

ur driving sales away from promo only, because u guys are slooooow with the releases, at least if u get new release u can post it up
look at TMZ.COM
they get tons of hits because they can get news(gossip) out faster than E News TV or whatever
just sayin... step up to the plate, dont worry about people downloading ur promo only music/music videos...
i see the shit on the internet allll the damn time. and still dont down it..
come on.. please step it up!
the funny thing is... i seen some regular joe blows with promo only dvds before. not to shove this in ur face, but... this sucks for me(the dj) to think that i can get music videos, but so can everyone else...
:(
and as far as promo onlys, i have some here and there... i buy them when im at the local dj shop
u guys do fine with the chyron, kinda wish u didnt put promo only lettering on it, when u NOW have the watermarks..
plus, u need to be able to download directly from ur site!!!
get with the times! its a new day, i guarantee u will get alot more customers(including me on a much more regular basis!)
the ease of downin from smashvidz or xtendamix or whoever is way easier than waitin for some dvd to come in the mail, or grab it at ur local dj store.

Your crowd was smart enough to pick you as the dj/vj to come see, I'm sure they can separate a PO vid from one that has a promo every 15 seconds for The Hills, Subterannean, Punk'd as well as titles.
As for the chyron issue for audio... if you wanted the good stuff - you needed to belong to a pool and submit dues, charts and feedback. if you didn't...after a while no content was given.
Also what is to prevent one company - let's say Company 8, from using a Promo Only video if we didn't have a chyron, and using our video on their service. We pay the labels $1000's of dollars for the privilege to feature their videos, how can we protect our investment from other companies taking them and featuring them on our discs.
It's an endless battle that will never be answered in a way that will keep both sides happy. The labels own the content - they make the rules.

True and well said. They also spend the money on making the videos and promoting it. Let's help them out...especially the way the music industry is these days.
You are right about music never having Chyrons, but that was audio only. When there is a visual involved, they want recognition. I'm sure in 5-10 years from now when video mixing is the norm, there will be a variety of sources with clean music videos. But for now, as it is still relatively new, there are only a few companies/sources and everyone has their own rules that they follow.

The Internet has helped. Now companies like Smashvidz, My12inch, 8th Wonder, Xtendamix can operate and as mentioned before, content can get out to the DJs a lot quicker. As soon as the video is released, a couple hundred DJs can have it right away and playing it. It has helped.
Guys..I leave you with this...and this is how Promo Only, Rockamerica & Screenplay have survived. Content is key. Whatever label has the best content for the user will win in the end. If Promo Only has what you are looking for, they will win. For example...They were the first to get Kid Cudi before he was signed to a Major. The Crookers mix is not supposed to be available in North America, but they did it. Whoever has the best content will survive the test of time. Or, like a lot of DJs, they will subscribe to more than 1 pool. I do. I use up to 5 sources when I'm DJing. I just want the video.
Remember, in the club, audio is the most important. Not everyone is looking at the screens. So, if you have don't have a video, would you not play the song?
Or would you play the song regardless. You would (hopefully) play the song even if there is no video. Ok, next step, if one service has the video and the other one doesn't...are you gonna not try and get the video from the source that has it?
Content is key, have what the DJs want and they will keep coming back :)

I have to ask, why do you assume they are not legit? Do you think Xtendamix would be putting ringtones in their chyrons if they didn't need to? Do you think they are doing it for fun? Do you think 8th Wonder would be $10 a month if it was for fun? 8th Wonder states they make their money in quantity. Makes sense.
I've done some stuff with Xtendamix. They do not have anything up there from Warner or Sony/BMG. They don't have those labels on board yet. So I'm sure if they were doing it illegally, they would use whatever content they wanted. I'm sure they would have T.I., Flo-Rida if they could.
The one thing I do know is that record companies aren't really familiar or ready for downloading outside of itunes or their own sites. They don't know how to track it, or to moderate it, so that's why Promo/Screenplay are not fully downloadable yet.
DVDs are good for several reasons. You have a backup if your HD crashes. You can encode it your own way, at your own quality, etc. However, there is that lag time. It takes time to manufacture, ship, so it takes longer, but all the companies out there are legit.
A few of us have done the research. All the online pools out there are legit...except one...but I'm not here to rat people out.

We just need AKIEM to make a crop overlay quartz file so I can cut it out on the fly or use VSL effects to mask the image for 15seconds?! LOL

our format has gone through changes. originally we were geared towards vdj. once serato became a serious container we kept tweaking. i believe we have reached that point for the time being until computers become faster and when hd becomes more available.
where is vms now?
well they went on to be a full blown pool. you might know them as my12inch :-)
chryon wise. i personally feel if its done right its fine and goes with the flow. also were here to promote the music. having a chryon on the video helps the promotion greatly, it also acts as a marker for booters, xtenda has taken it even another step forward with the ringtones. which is smart on the labels part as its a big money maker.
im sure itunes can call the shots as they dominate a big chunk of the market.

Imagine trying to obtain every video individually without Promo Only, Screenplay etc. Imagine having to extend every video yourself with Smashvidz, Xtendamix, My12inch.
I'm not saying it can't be done, but look at how much easier all of these companies have made it. And how much easier and cheaper it is then sourcing out every video individually, buying the DVDs, contacting the labels.

further detail is needed. all those counts is more then a minute.
not all songs we do are 32 in & 32 out
like uptempo tracks we do 64 out to allow a longer mix without needing to loop.
or if a song originally started with a 4 count in, we leave that mostly for the scratchers like myself then add the 32 after that....so that would give u 36...but u can only mix starting at 36 if u know when to throw it in :-) i don't always want to start my mix with the down beat or the hook etc.
example would be dope.

I personally like Pomo (urban with old-school throw backs and party breaks) just dislike water marking but for Dj's who go out and work it is paramount that we get videos much faster than we do. It saddens me that I can go on I Tunes and or see them on BET/MTV and see videos that Promo put's out months later. It really use to bother me that some DJ's had videos that I know I should have had by months ago.
Screen Play is not much better but at least no watermark and Howard is really cool and listen to programing and changes it. GQ is right some things have to change. How would you feel if I gave you a 3 month old hamburger and told you to eat it. This is exactly what these pools are doing to us,,,I'm not trying to pick a fight it's just real talk from real people.
By the way OP is doing better by doing MP4's something that was needed,,but the quality is straight trash IMO. My buddy showed me one I was like damn, and others have complained on these forums as well about them. I think some stuff can be learned from dj's on these forums as far as video and pools should hire some of them as consultants . I would start with Nik 39, A-Swift, Phat-Al, Culprit, Millz, Twizzle just to name a few who can tell you how these videos should be converted for our use. Damn you got 3 months before you send them to us anyway to work on them and get them right. .... : )
Simply put I could deal with the watermark if I had no other choice due to fact that there are other sources that don't have water marking then that is what I choose. What I can't deal with is videos coming late and mp4's that are not converted correctly IMO.

Henry GQ,
As a dj myself I agree that the tools needed to be a dj are changing.
I would love to do video mash ups...
I would love to deliver product to you quicker.
But unfortunately there is plenty of red tape to do that LEGALLY.
PDVz doesn't get their discs any quicker than any other subscriber, so speed can't be the issue regarding them. The extra time they take to digitize, host & post and type a track listing means they are posting product up after any other subscriber would get their discs. Not knowing their intentions, but I would guess that they don't want to pay the $10,000 licensing fee to Universal and then a percentage fee based on content delivered to subscribers. Multiply those fees by adding Warner Bros, SONY and EMI, and its much more profitable to buy a subscription from a pool and take your legal chances and post the pool's product instead.
Thats true for a lot more sites than you think.
EMI/Capitol/Virgin still sends a form out with EVERY video stating that each video they deliver can not be streamed, posted, or made available by other future means of delivery. Warner Bros. still to this day pulls its videos periodically from YouTube due to licensing fee and streaming issues.
So it's not just us, its just a real pain in the ass to do things legally.
Believe me, if I could something to make life for djs or subscribers easier,
I would much rather take those steps than get into it on these boards.
Right now all I can ask for is patience - and suggestions.
We are working on several things, but its a long process to iron out these agreements legally.

I just wanted to clarify that at no point was I thinking that they are actually putting out stuff quicker. It seems like it was not obvious enough that I was being sarcastic and that I was just laughing at the fact that someone could even remotely think what they [pdvz] are doing was or is legal.
And then being so [sarcasm_on]clever[sarcasm_off] to post about that service here. Here on this board and then on this thread where company reps are reading. I mean... how [sarcasm_on]intelligent[sarcasm_off] can you be? ;)
I understand all the legal issues you are having with labels. Anyone who wanted to get some sample clearance for exampled and music distribution... and had to deal with label contracts would know that his is not some easy (and/or quick) stuff.

With regards to the Mp4s, we are always up for tweaking the files.
Our IT guys have been in talks with techs from both Serato and VDJ. Initially we had even stronger specs but the Serato camp told us to back them down a bit. If there are suggestions to be made, there are a lot of bright minds on these boards, and we are always open to ideas.
Sorry about the 3 months - I'm not sure what videos are being referred to.
I am sure there are some that don't make it to people quick enough.
You've hit on the biggest complaint we get - not fast enough, although most of those complaints come from subscribers of our monthly issues wanting the speed of Express. (which is like saying I only want to pay for dialup but I want the speed of broadband). This week's Express does have the new Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Eminem, Alex Gaudino and 4 others that are brand new on iTunes as well as shown as "adds" on MTV.com.
We are working on ways to get our content to you quicker, but as I mentioned above there is a lot of legal hoops to jump through.
Thanks for your support and patience.

Just look how long it took for whitelabel.net to get out of their beta status (with very limited releases) to the point where they are right now. And even now they don't have all (big) labels on there. It's a progress... which needs a long time. I guess also the whitelabel.net users where frustrated because they had to wait soooo long from the point where whitelabel.net has been announced (as beta though) to the point where they started the "regular service".

Funkytownstopsix - appreciate the facts and opinions - just FYI (and you probably know this) but the watermarking changed to intermittent and to lower left corner
Henry GQ - we do create intros and outros and those Mix Show Edits (as we call them) are included in those Powersets.
Every video we, or any pool tweaks - be it our Mix Show Edits, Powersets or just adding an intro/outro or speed effecting to retrack the clip to a different audio track - needs to be approved by the label. People seem to forget that.
As pools we don't own the rights to the video - so we can't tweak it any way we see fit regardless if it was just adding a watermark or a full blown mashup. (Which would need approval from all labels involved). A lot more mixes then you expect don't get approved.

We are working on several things....
As I do every week - I turn in remixes to the labels...
Not as easy as you think...
Every Beyonce clip has to be viewed approved by either Beyonce or Matthew Knowles themselves. Matthew is in Japan until tonight, we have a call with him tomorrow morning.
Since Ultra leases their videos from European labels, all of their videos can not be remixed until the European labels approve them first.
Pitbull videos are tough too... TVT is shut down for all intents and purposes - so no one is at the label to approve anything - except "Calle Ocho" which is Ultra (see above) and "Blanco" which was released recently. Our clip has been approved by Universal pending clearance from the movie production house. (It contains footage from Fat & Furious Part whatever).
The list goes on...
Like I said, its a big pain in the ass to do things legally, and we are willing to do the dirty work to get what we all want and need. Its just sometimes people forget that process when they see (Download site XXX) take our "Paper Planes" video (with chyron!!!!) and do what they wish for a few dollars a month.
We are fighting for what you want - you just may not see it...
Its one thing to post a BEP vs LMFAO up on a forum or Rapidshare where its downloaded 128 times in 3 weeks. It's another thing to knowingly press that unapproved mix to DVD and sell it across state lines to thousands of subscribers.
We have to cover our ass, which in the end covers yours.

Hey all. I normally don't much post any longer, but I have to take Scott's back on this one.
He's right in what he is telling you. You all have no idea the amount of work that goes into maintaining the relationships with ALL of the labels that we both deal with. The sheer volume that we both put out, compared to what you may be able to scratch up elsewhere dictates that we must follow the rules to the letter. I'll go one step further in pointing out, and I know Scott is on this page on this, that we have been both told point blank by the majors and significant indies to stay well away from non-DRM downloads by their legal... because when the poop flies (and it will), it is going to stick.
Regardless of our being competitors we are both working very hard to provide you guys with all of what you are asking for. But legitimately. And here's the bottom line... we are both paying major royalties now for this material. Our phones and emails are slammed getting clearances and permissions to get you what you ask for.

He's right in what he is telling you. You all have no idea the amount of work that goes into maintaining the relationships with ALL of the labels that we both deal with. The sheer volume that we both put out, compared to what you may be able to scratch up elsewhere dictates that we must follow the rules to the letter. I'll go one step further in pointing out, and I know Scott is on this page on this, that we have been both told point blank by the majors and significant indies to stay well away from non-DRM downloads by their legal... because when the poop flies (and it will), it is going to stick.
Regardless of our being competitors we are both working very hard to provide you guys with all of what you are asking for. But legitimately. And here's the bottom line... we are both paying major royalties now for this material. Our phones and emails are slammed getting clearances and permissions to get you what you ask for.

Is it their pay-per-download model? Because if I could download high quality legal MP4s (and their corresponding clean/dirty/intro edits) from Promo Only, I would not mind paying $2 a track AT.ALL, which translates to just $60 per 30 tracks...

I just got signed up with ERG Music' Classic Video series. I chose the pay as you pay for $40/disc. I like how I'm not locked it. If I want to cancel and just buy random single discs for $45 each I can. Their classic series seems like a good start for them old hits.
I see with past issues there's a little overlap with what I already got from 8thwonder, but I'm sure I can create a higher quality if that happens.
www.ergmusic.com
figured out the cost is still a bit cheaper than buying from itunes with the $40 each plan and some of these ain't on itunes either.
Now that I'm accepted, I guess I could also buy random discs of the other series if I want, though I haven't done that yet.

The best place for remixes (of all genres) has to be Crooklyn Clan, their mashes and tools are helping me keep ahead of the competition. The quality on offer justifies the price tag IMHO.
Smashvidz are also good for extends and other mix tools.
I rock crowds of thousands with CC/SV edits and the A/V quality is top through the big systems, only through these edits is it possible for me to make a living through VJ'ing!
That is to say "clean" audio free of noise, intros/outros and mashups which my crowds love!
Promo are my favourite content providers, I buy it to obtain the videos but I only rip some of the DVD.

ANYONE can get on that site and buy the SAME mash-up (most of which the audio sucks balls) if you made your OWN edits, that would keep you ahead.

People have good ideas, but have no idea that their mashups are out of key. Mixing in key is very important, and when someone does a mashup or blend that is out of key, it sounds horribleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

@ Steve,
Keep laughing, I can laugh too as I'm getting paid so I will loool
You say anyone can get on that site and buy the same mashups, that's correct but they aren't as common as just playing standard edits, and it's unlikely the VDJ down the road has the exact same collection of remixes that you have. Especially where I'm from, where video mixing is still something very new, I'm virtually alone in my town with what I do.
The audio sucks balls? Some maybe, but there is a vast amount of quality on there IMHO.
btw I do remix and edit my own material, but I don't have time to form a show on that basis, buying a few a week from CC is a great supplement.
@ Millz,
Absolutely spot on mate, anything out of key is horrible, although with rap most fail to notice it.

Honestly I'm through arguing with people on this forum, if you wanna play those lame ass Happy Feet video edits with a HUGE ass crooklyn logo on them, then that's your right.

Don't think I'm totally bashing CC because I have a couple edits myself but let me quote what you said again "their mashes and tools are helping me keep ahead of the competition"
that part is totally false especially when you say "I'm virtually alone in my town with what I do"
lol that makes me laugh anymore, so crooklynclan keeps you ahead of the competition, except there's NO competition in your town. That's SWEET!!! lol

I wondered how far you would scrutinize and deliberately misunderstand my statements, why? Well that seems to be much of the forum ethic around here, lots of self love and lots of negative and sarcastic remarks.
Some may say this is typical of the user base.
Let me keep this simple:
I edit my own videos (about 3 per week), however I'm too busy working during the day to do more, therefore I buy the odd video off CC (btw they haven't all got big logos on them), this makes my job easier and means I can get a decent nights sleep (as to avoid editing all night).
I'm virtually alone in being able to bring a "show", yes a show (which 2000 people attend) where I have a unique selection of remixes (many of my own, some from CC). All of the videos I play have replaced audio.
There are others doing video, but there aren't many mixing it up in the fashion I do because they are just playing plain old MTV style videos with little mixing involved.
I hope that's ok for you, and I hope we can be friends again.
Respect

Yes. I do have red ones that came with my 57 but that's it.

its like tattoos and piercings... they used to be the edgy individual way to express yourself....
now if you say to someone I have ZERO tattoos and Piercings; than your the freak.
I HAAAAAAAAAATE logos, and even more than HUGE GHASTLY LOGOS...
words....
ones that are from the song.... like "go go go put your hands up"
ya know we pay MORE for videos than we do for music, yet music doesent have audio blasts throughout the song (unless your using bad mixtape rips)
I know alot of remixers will drop a little ID before the track, or at the 1st verse.
but do we really need huge logos all the time?
to the point of we have the "AM" Feature for music.
so the industry peeps at serato at least know trying to remain a little exclusive is
important in a competitive market.
wheres our "AM-VIDEO" Feature that allows us to wipe unneccessary text off videos for the biters! hahahahah

well regardless of where you got the video hopefully you paid for it in promos or dues thru record/video pools or other forms..... all that really matters is that your crowd is feeling you that's the bottom line as entertainers/Djs/Vjs. Remixes or Originals its what you do with them that makes the difference; timing, location, and energy. Now if you did your own remix and your crowd is feeling it then its your own self pride "Knowing that you did it"

@ Steve,
I predicted your response correctly, "we were never friends" do you think I don't know this? This shows that you don't offer a hand of friendship to people you meet; you'd rather think bad of people who don't see things as you do.
I told you I do have competition, but not elaborate competition (a bit like you in this debate).
On a regular night I play 70-80% original/standard stuff, however I also do a remixes and mash-ups night which is quite popular with the young ones, it's a fun night.
My aim is to put nights together which don’t reflect your average nights viewing on MTV, maintaining familiarity whilst applying manipulative skill.

Did I mention I'm from the UK? And I do lots of dance music, dance music involves a lot of remixes by nature, hell most new releases anywhere in the world are technically a remix.
I started off mentioning remixes because I assumed everyone would know about Promo.

the only reason to put your logo on for too long is advertising to other VJs who might

but other VJs might...and these peeps are hoping they will seek them out

Its not done in music services or pools...so why videos?

Yup - we did have a series called Mix EssentialsIntros and Outros, Acapella Videos and some powersets
Not a whole lot of support from djs on that series back then....
Funkytownstopsix - appreciate the facts and opinions - just FYI (and you probably know this) but the watermarking changed to intermittent and to lower left corner
Henry GQ - we do create intros and outros and those Mix Show Edits (as we call them) are included in those Powersets.
Every video we, or any pool tweaks - be it our Mix Show Edits, Powersets or just adding an intro/outro or speed effecting to retrack the clip to a different audio track - needs to be approved by the label. People seem to forget that.
As pools we don't own the rights to the video - so we can't tweak it any way we see fit regardless if it was just adding a watermark or a full blown mashup. (Which would need approval from all labels involved). A lot more mixes then you expect don't get approved.
AHH yes I remember receiving a promo copy of that series I was wondering where it went...too bad was some good stuff back then when no one was doing it.

yeah, I look at it this way.
worst case scenario: Im out $10.00 a month.
there's certainly been week long stretches where I cant use anything they offer.
Ive been in smashvids for about 2 weeks now and like it alot.
it seems to be a "slow time" for videos, i dont see much new content anywhere.
but they had a fair amount of stuff.
Ive been in Xtendamix for about 6 months.
Its good, occasionally the quality is a little low, but fair.
there extended videos are very well done, and they get alot of content I
never see anywhere else. (which is both good an bad... I generally dont use that cheese-vocal house in the 137-142bpm range)
I hit Strictlyhits, CrooklynClanVideo & YourRemix once a week for usually 5-10
mash's, Breaks and video edits...
you REALLY have to use the preview function. You'll find that certain remixers are
very formulaic, and some just do way too much, or way to little.
I also buy occaisional Promo Only issues... but not as much as I used to.
I also am doing about 1-2 of my own edits a week, if Im lucky.
thats my spin on things. hope it helps someone out.
So, on the average week I get anywhere from 30-100 videos from all those sources
usually about 10 will be "I have to play this"
another 10-20 will be "early night or I know someone wants to hear this"
the others just sit in the library in the "rather have it, than someday need it"
there was a few weeks back when I ended up getting about 160...
Sure some of these are the same videos I already had, but I replaced some of my original conversions from dvds with pool service versions.
last week I trimmed my collection... went from 750gb to 490gb if that tells ya how much shit I really had... 4/5 copies of a track. 8 versions of Pokerface & gotta feeling.
ya know, that crap.
I still found myself after the weekend says SHIIIIT i FORGOT TO PLAY THAT!
My friends who wont do video because its "too expensive" amaze me.
even with these pools Im only paying out 75-150 a month.
I used to spend that a week, sometimes in A DAY on vinyl
again, hopes this is good info for peeps.

They were like crack to me back then. then X-mix, Wicked Mix, and my fav was Mixx-It those were neat. I was able to gain allot of old school remix vinyls back in the early 90's that are rare finds now! Future Mix, DMC....Hot Traxx

Craze you were one of my idols when I first got into the scene back in 96'. You still doin mostly breaks? I'm sure you've expanded. I played with you way back with Regis of Love n Lights at a spot off Adamo. I've lost the love for the breaks unfortunately. Every once in a while I pull out and throw down some of the vintage stuff. I'd love to come check you out but It looks like you play the same nights as I do.Anyways, keep it up homey!

Well I hate to be the one to say it ,,, if you don't want them to get stolen don't put them out. Cause you know it will be stolen by someone period. It's part of the so call game everything is being stolen no matter what it is. LOL U feel like all the artist that have been sampled and the only reason the new song is getting play is because of the sample, your sample. Sucks to no end but will happen if it's out there.. I'm just saying.. This has been going on since cassette's came out and that's before 8 tracks.. : ) so that's been a long time....and it's still going strong. So it should be no surprise that some lazy bastard steals your work and claims it as their own.......it's the American way. Don't go on Crooklin Clan there are 14 mixes of the same song by different djs..... DMAN DAMN DMAN... I'm gone to bed I drank for free tonight and am a little tipsy

btw... 8thwonder video remixers DO get paid per remix.
I still think it is a shame that some of them (not gonna say it...) actually TOOK others VIDEO parts of existing remixes and used it as their own. Not cool!
And with audio... well.. unfortunately they don't regulate it as well there on 8thwonder as the other sites.

i've confirmed this with more than a few video editors on cc unless something changed in the last few months. when a video sells on cc, a percentage goes to the site and a percentage goes to the video editor. no money goes to the audio remixer, just their name comes up with the title text at the beginning.
the site i currently work with pays the audio remixer too. i might get less money, but at least it's fair to the audio remixer.

i understand some of you that said that buying 1 video at 1.29 is not too much, but thats when you have years in the game and just get the latest, but for someone to start mixing videos, is expensive, i think polls are better to start and also itunes to get the latest, my question is, when you buy a video from itunes, is it serato ready? and when you subscribe to a poll, what file are they? vob? or is there any serato ready poll? thanks for your time!

they only itunes videos that are ready are the plus "+" videos. most videos pools distribute there videos in mp4 format. that doesn't mean that they all have the same quality. itunes is good if you have a gig and need a new that just dropped. other than that there are some very good pools out there.

These kind of questions have to be answered using a scale of probability, they are most probably illegal, however they claim otherwise and none of us know their arrangements.
It's nobody's job here to deem this and that legal or illegal, except for cases where it's obvious (such as file sharing, reselling etc).

Considering they're one of the "bigger" video distributors. They should get with the times and have a download site. Not just that, because of such a high number dj's/vj's who use their product (audio & video) I believe they should have downloadable files in multi formats for all users. Audio: MP3/AAC/ect. -- Video: MP4/AVI/etc. They have the resources to be able to do so. But let them keep delivering DVD's & CD's and little by little people will look elsewhere to save time & money. Just my thoughts.

I remember spending $16 to $24 for 12"'s in 1992 in NZ so I-tunes charging $2 or $3 for a clip is awesome!!! it's just too bad I-tunes have a delay in releasing video's to Australia & NZ. I tried to buy the Duck Sauce clip from the UK I-tunes site but I was denied the sale due to the fact I live in Australia?!?
This forces DJ's who want to keep up with current music and stay cutting edge to source the clip anyway they can. Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather pay for what I use but if I am unable to buy what I need when I need it then I will source it anyway I can to keep up with the current hot tracks and stay ahead of my competitors sets......
@ Phat-Al can I ask what software do you use to remix your clips or re-edit? I have so many audio tracks I have purchased over the years that I want to put the video over but not sure what is the best way to go..... PC or Mac based program?
Cheers, Karl.

Quick Question. Would anybody pay $15 bucks a month for 20 clean video (no tags or water marks) and about 4 mash up's All HQ quality. Not crappy 8th wonder mash ups or their quality. Shit you would actually be proud of playing? The mash up would be club bangers or request from the customer. The 20 videos would consist of random stuff from old school hip hop to new school hip-hop.

not really a pool that specializes in remixes and mashups, but i like what i get from 8th wonder and smashvidz and i dont know of any other sites like those, so i thought i should ask, maybe you guys know, of course i dont play everything i download, i probably keep 1 out of 10, but the more resources i get, the more videos ill keep, i just googled mp4 dj pool and found this exclusivegrooves pool that i think no one mention above, so the more sites we can get different remixes, the less 8th wonder shit we'll be all playing lol

I make everything myself.
I would never use someone elses video material as this is really cheezy to do as a VJ in my opinion. Back in 1991 we would Vj with dual laserdisc players and mostly use import Japanese nature discs which ran 40 minutes. But that was as far as we would go even back then since there were a ton of creative tricks you could use which still to this day are more effective than any vj software tools.

Well, I finally had to email Paul @ 8th wonder...DJ Cutt seems to have taken several edits from Select Mix Country Essentials and claimed them as his own. Sigh...Seems like DJ Cutt found his club... the club of relabel-reclaimer of videos.
Heard the exact same thing with IDJ...

hmmmm free site but needs a donation of 4 to 5 dls per video? thats weird =)
oh well good try but not even preview for the videos and then again why pay 4 or 5 dls per video while you can get way better quality and alot more videos with the service that already are out there.

importantly be happy with their products

I was watching previews of videos and saw a lot of "lip flap" (as some like to call it)
** where people look like there are singing when there is no singing on the audio.
guess that is why some of the tracks are $1.49 each.

Lol, that's when your audio and your video are not in sinc. I didn't see any of that.
Here's the breakdown of the site. That site belongs to a friend of mine dj freezle From what he's told me, he's working with the labels on getting them on board with "digital street team" I believe you can get the 12inch pack for 5 bucks or you can get the individual track for a dollar. Like I said, I don't really know what's up and site is in beta testing till april so I'm helping out with some of my video edits that are also in 8thwonder. Since I have access to the library, all the video's are completely clean. No logo's, chyrons etc... Some videos have the website logo at the beginning of the video but the actual video it's self seem to be clean.
I'm just helping my boy get the word around
Peace,
EkSeL

I didn't see any of that.I think Phat-Al is referring to where a remix edit is created and footage that contains vocals (lip movement) is used on parts of the song where there is no vocals. The lips are flapping but no sound is coming out. I am guilty of this when doing intro edit remuxes, or when I'm too lazy to cut out every bit of lip movement - but then again, I'm not selling my edits.

exactly.
If you are actually in the business to sell videos (or to get your known in that department anyways) at least make them with no flaws like that. Very unprofessional. I try to take pride in my work, that is one of the reasons I spend a little extra time on video remixes/editing and make sure quality is priority one.

I also do that on extends just cause nobody can really see it if you still have another song going out on a blend, but on a instrumental video it's damn near impossible unless you're editing a video from the 90's.
I make instrumental videos because I use them while I got the MC yapping away about the birthday girl and the single ladies and your car's being towed etc... It just feels easy to have the instrumental video playing instead of looping a extended and having the same 5 seconds playing over and over.
