You can't do that in VDJ. You need another software.

I THINK VERSION 4.0 SHOULD BE ABLE TO RECORD VIDEO MIXES. ANY BODY ELSE THINKS SO?

There's a program that is able to record your video mixes without using an external capture card, is called fraps is very simple to use since it works as an open gl from direct x, www.fraps.com
Note: you must start the program before running vdj, regards.

have tried the demo of fraps and it seems to work...
only 30sec clip since its the demo
seems to solve a lot of problems... definitely worth looking into

It would be nice if vdj implements this in v4. The fraps software works well also. Thanks for the link!

Yes it works very well with vdj, if you register the software you can record the time you want , best regards.

get a $99.00 dvd recorder, and run it inline with your video out.. that way you're not taxing your computer, and you've already got it on DVD... if you need to edit, rip it to a .vob, and chop away..
I'd never even consider recording video on the same machine I was DJing from,,, even on ther fastest machines available.

I agree with Steve Lynch.
VDJ needs to be running on it's own on the computer. And video ripping is very very gready in CPU use.
The best would be to use another computer for ripping the video.

I posted about Fraps a while back but the downside is it requires huge amounts of HDD space, close to 13GB for 80minutes! There is another program called Game Cam (originally designed for capturing people playing games, duh!) but works in the same way, it's cheaper at $10 and allows compression to WMV which will save space.

I bought a Sony DVD recorder recently, it was $280 or something.
Records in HQ and SHQ with a 60 minute recording time.
I have done 2 hour discs in standard play and been quite happy with my er ah mist kes, lol.
Much rather have it on a disc.

If Steve says it can be done with a hunnet dollar recorder, it probably can.
Maybe a link will turn up.

If you have the physical space and money your way is undoubtedly best. The advantages include not stealing cpu cycles away from VDJ, safety knowing exactly what you see on the monitor is being recorded straight to DVD format (MPEG2) and you don't have to lose hours transcoding the video as it has been done in realtime.
DVD recorders have really come down in price now, although if you want to go cheap you'll usually have to go for an unbranded make. For people in the UK you can pick up this recorder for only £70.99. Far less than the hundreds they cost six months ago. LiteOn are a good brand and do sell more expensive players with more features (e.g. HDD if you want to take a look).
The cheapest (but possibly most unstable and hardest) way is to use Fraps or a similar program. For home users, Fraps is perfectly acceptable, but in a live situation it's best to invest in a standalone recorder, it's just one less thing you need to worry about going catastrophically wrong.

Just don't put yourself out on the street with your mixed dvds playing inside, lol, particularly if you are considering demo mixes.

Well, I would rather prefer a software for recording my video mixes, since if you want to create a menu or to personalize your dvd, is much better to do it using a software and with external hardware you won't be able to do that or is limited, regards.

The hardaware solutions still capture the stream digitally, you can add a menu if you want, best to use a DVD+RW when you record and then just rip it to your PC. This is still a lot quicker than using Fraps considering you would only have to transcode a menu rather than video footage and the menu.
