 Posted Wed 03 Sep 08 @ 10:28 pmDoes an external drive make a difference on your CPU when running VDJ? Which is better external drive or just a big hard drive? DJ Matt Macbook 2.4 320Gb HD 4GB Ram |

| Posted Fri 05 Sep 08 @ 1:01 pm Matt, I use VDJ both on my MAC and PC for video mix shows. I have used 2 external HDs at once on the PC, with no troubles. They were 500G and 1TB drives. Take advantage of the firewire port on the macs and use that connection, as it is the fastest. Good Luck, -T myspace.com/TerryMoran |

| Posted Mon 08 Sep 08 @ 11:45 am Hi, I'm trying to run VDJ from my Mac (Version 5.2) but run into long loading times. Each song takes about 5-15 seconds to load from the external drive (formated in NFTS). Any suggestions on how to get songs to load quicker from an external drive on the Mac? Thanks |
