Music Videos

Hi everyone,

I'd like some advice if anyone does this. I subscribe to a promo music video service that sends me a DVD each month with the latest videos.

I'd like to incorporate the videos into my show and wonder if anyone uses kjams to do it?

Do you add your videos to your library and then to a play list, or do you add into itunes, or maybe something different.

I am currently using cinematize to rip the DVDs into self contained mov files.

Does anyone do this sort of thing, I love to hear from you.

Paul

yes i do that. i use HandBrake. then i bring them into kJams and make sure they're tagged nicely. i only use kJams since it's all integrated and will show who's singing the song etc.

Thanks for the reply Dave, I like the idea of keeping it in kjams so the next singer shows, i didn't think of that!

Can I ask how you keep your video files separate from the karaoke files, is it a case of making a smart list of mp3's when it come to printing books?

i don't separate them, they're all karaoke.

Hey dave,

A quick question on this, I have been ripping my videos from DVD at quite a high resolution as they will be shown on a big screen in my venue. What settings would you recommend?

Thanks
Paul

HI Dave,

Sorry to go on about this subject, I imported some ripped music videos into kjams for a show I recently did, and although the videos played no problem, there was no sound with them, any idea why this is.

When i play the mov files outside of kjams they play with the sound. I ripped them as self inclusive mov files.

Thanks for your help
Paul

could be a number of different things.
please send me one of the files that has no sound.
make sure your audio prefs have chosen the correct audio out hardware
make sure your volume in kJams is up
make sure your system volume is up
make sure you ripped the audio into a single stereo track
if you're confused just call me today or tomorrow:
