.MPG file crashed my SSL

Woodstock 3:11 PM - 8 December, 2013
I was running Serato w/ Mix Emergency tonight and I loaded a .mpg file instead of my normal mp4 or mp3. As soon as I loaded the .mpg file my music stopped and SSL crashed a few seconds later. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

yep. I dont know what the fix is and if there is any. I just stay away from file formats that are not MP4

It seems that .MPG files are not fully supported by some DJ software like Serato or Mix Emergency. Using .MP4 or .MP3 is generally safer to avoid crashes. Converting video files to a more compatible format usually fixes this issue.
