Forum: MAC Version Technical Support - Topic: Seeking help from VJs using VDJ 6 Windows via boot camp XP installation on a Mac.

I long for the video effects and text capabilities of the Windows VDJ. So I set up a boot camp install with windows xp. No matter what i do the video freezes cold after the first mix. Tired new drivers for the video. Played with the video settings.

Sound works with DJio... but I can use my Presouns Firebox for audio.

My Mac is a Jan 2008 using Snow Leopard 10.6.1 with 4 GB 67 Mz DDR2 SDRAM,
video is GeoForce 8600M GT with 256 MB VRAM

Has any one figured out how to make the VDJ 6 work in the XP Boot Camp environment. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I have VDJ 6.0.2 and Windows 7 running fine under bootcamp.

Have you installed the drivers from your OSX disc in Windows??

yep. Did that I may try a reinstall. Also, I may try the removal of boot camp and another reinstall of xp. -- However, you've got me thinking I ought to spring for Windows 7 and give it a try. What Video Card does your mac have? My MBP has NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT:

Chipset Model: GeForce 8600M GT
Type: GPU
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MB

Updated the Windows VDJ software to 6.03. Same problems. Think this whole thing is related to Geforce 8000 M GT graphics chip.
Maybe next step is to spring for Windows 7

you are correct, you really need at least direct-x 10 for it to work right with this card.

i have almost exactly same specs (xp via bootcamp 3.0) and videos run fine!
try downloading K-lite codec package and install it (choose lots of stuff without player).
also get into task manager and kill a process called bootcamp.exe

did that change something?
