www.venuevj.com has stopped providing Videos due to licencing issues.

www.7digital.com > 99% of their video content is DRM protected!! and therefore incompatible with VDJ.

as for most of the above, youre paying for subscriptions which pays for upkeep of their servers, but it doses not licence you play the videos publicly within the UK. As a UK VJ, your safest appoach to Video DJing is to buy into a DVD service, as all the discs are fully licenced with the www.VPL.com

There may be different laws in America or other countries.
 
From all those in the lists above I belive only 4 are licensed for you to legally play in a public performance the US.

promoonly.com
rockamericamusic.com
screenplayvj.com
jonestm.com

Note: I have one source for videos, Promoonly. Currently my subscriptions cost me just under $2,000 per year.
I'm very unhappy with what I pay for videos because less that 1/2 are actually "useable" videos. But I insist on high quality licensed for play videos.

Venuevj hoped to change it where you could LEGALLY download licensed videos (only what you wanted withou the fillers) and obviously that crashed and burned.

 
The Europe PromoOnly produces their own monthly chart hits series, and they have most of what i need on that disk. but the American PO disk is different.
 
Yeah Euro PO and US are total different, just try playing to a US croud from the euro disc "Fu*k Me" they think 117BMP is techno and do the funky chicken dance to it! I feel drowsy and have fallen asleep playing for them re playing all the hip hop n rnb.

www.venuevj.com has stopped providing Videos due to licencing issues. Typical PCDJ venture if you ask me, all they ever do is fail.
 
Charlie Wilson, your comment is not on topic but I will play along at leaset for one response. (MY BAD)

High speed techno (140 bpm plus) peaked here were I live in the late 1990's and has never recovered. I use this stuff to get the bar cleared at closing time. Hard core hip pop and R & B has been the dominant force for the past few years although I see the harder hip hop crap on the decline. (Thank you all)

I'm hoping the two will meet somewhere in the middle but please don't bash Americans and our music.
Remember this:

We gave you Buddy Holly and Elvis, you responded with the Beatles.... we both got it right.

You gave us "Punk Rock" and we responded with "Grunge"... we both got just what we deserved.

We have you "Milli Vanilli" and you gave us "Boy George".... one is in prison and one is dead.

Extremes will always be around, I'm waiting on the next Beatles with Buddy Holly as the "5th" Beatle.

 
Renee,

Nice reply I enjoyed it.

My take wasn't off topic! I just woffle a bit but then so do a lot of people on hear it's great.
 
sorry to hijack, but isnt Milli Vanilli a german popact from the 90s, produced by Frank Farian, a famous german pop producer? One "singer" ,Fab Morvan, was french and the other one, Rob Pilatus, a german. The voice behind it all was Charles Shaw, a us army soldier who was in germany at that time.... not trying to front, just had to take this point :D Be glad that they´re not british ;)

I do believe Milli Vanilli may be still going in other places than th UK/US, but you cannot forget the start of Milli Vanilli's career. They got someone else to sing their first records, and when it came out about this, it was the end of Milli Vanilli un the UK.
for the fans > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milli_Vanilli

RIGHT>> Back to the video topc....
 
Hi Mark and others. Thanks for the long list! So far I've only used smashvidz.com and Mixmash.com.

I was a bit surprised when you said that mixmash videos were licensed for playback in public places already (I though I need to start buying them again if they are!) So I went on the mixmash site and checked the FAQ: http://www.mixmash.com/cl_Faq_n.aspx The second question is about public performance, they say that a public performance license isn't inclueded with them. Just thought I'd mention it cos I bet you'd be pissed off if you got into trouble when you thought you'd got your back covered!

The "voices" behind Milli Vanilli were 2 guys (don't know their real names or where they were from ) who called themselves "Numarx", the had actually released the 12 single of "Girl You Know It's True" and "don't forgrt my number" and neither one hit, the producer came up with the two athletic looking dancers to play "milli' and "vanilli" when live performance were required...they also reproduced the original recordings and bumped it up from around 88bpm to 98bpm and they both became huge hits....still pop classics in my opinion.

I never understood why people got so upset, the music sounded the same, the vocals sounded the same and the girlies got to fantasize while watching those two studly dancers and that is what drove most of the sales...I harkin it to being a group, total act, from the audience perspective who cares who was really singing as you went to see the show...as long as they printed the correct names on the paychecks I don't think anybody minded!

MixMash, and the other DVD services are licenced for providing you the Video Content, so you are automaticaly covered to play those tracks on a video screen, however, you need additional licences...

you need you venue to have ...

PRS > licences the venue to be able to have atleast a jukebox or other music performances
PPL > needed by the venue to play music recordings
Entertainment Licence > The venue needs this it they show any sporting event on a screen, has karaoke, has a DJ...
Pro Dub Licence > Something new for DJs the licence us to 'copy' the CDs and DVDs that WE DJS HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR, when we put them on our harddrives!!! this is in dispute with the DJ unions vs the PRS.

Do a google search for more information on the above, dont ask me, i dont make this up.
 
Just another site I found

www.solly4life.com

right... so was it an act or a song? For vdj ok, for just music (dj)...?? right... ;-))


http://www.pro-music.org/Content/GetMusicOnline/stores-Europe.php
 
it was a song performed by a "group" (or if you prefer the term "act"). Journey still continued to tour after Steve Perry left, Chicago after Peter Cetera left, how many different singers has Van Halen had, do we know who the singers are for Daft Punk?, Alan Parsons Project was always different singers, CCR without Fogerty, if Circ De Soliele changes out a gymnast or two from the original acrobats is it not still Cir De Soliele, etc. etc, etc,

If they advertise a specific performer i.e "Janet Jackson" and then they have someone else show up to sing that is wrong, but Milli Vanill was a group and they did not say "MIlli Vanilli Starring....."

If I book a nightclub event using a company name and don't name the Dj then any Dj who works for me can show up and do the event, it's only if I book the event under MY name (or Dj name) that I had better be the one there performing.
 
Hey guys:

You can also add www.xtendamix.com to your list of sources. It's fairly new, and has a lot of dance, house, hip hop and reggae that are hard to find and that no other sources have

www.xtendamix.com
 
Try dtvideos.net, great edits and remixes.
 
There is a brand new site called www.VirtualRemixes.com. They offer Party Breaks, Extended, Mashed & Remixed Music & VIDEOS. Their videos do NOT have any tags or watermarks.
 
I did not see yourremix.com on that list. I miss Milli Vanilli and still throw them in a set every now and then. At the time, they were the hottest thing on the planet.
