Don't know if this is an individual skin issue or a VDJ set-up issue, but I use DJ Format's VMIX 5.3 skin and Supacon's Video Vision skin and would like to be able to not have the browser window showing as I use tag & rename as my browser (works MUCH better, and it properly tags and reads my video tags which VDJ does not). As it is now it is irritating as it brings one over the other as I click them (blocking out the view and controls of the other as it falles behind). I would like to have the "plyer" section open all the time on top and tag & rename open all the time below it where the normal browser section would be....anybody know if this is possible and how I do it if it is?

You can, but be aware you will lose the effects, samples and plugins sections too...
Edit the skin XML to remove the browser section:
<browser>
...
</brower>
For completeness I would remove the button sections since they will no longer do anything:
<button action="menu" value="0">
...
</button>
<button action="menu" value="1">
...
</button>
<button action="menu" value="2">
...
</button>
<button action="menu" value="3">
...
</button>
...and I would also remove them from the skin bitmap.
You could also edit the skin size to then shrink the window borders if you wanted:
<Skin name="..." version="." width="1024" height="768">
Like I say, you will lose a lot of functionality...

Scott

thanks for the info, don't really want to lose the other functions so I guess I'll leave it as is and pray VDJ reads video tags in one of the next updates.

Whoa, video tags?
I'd love to see some of that action. Generally I use foobar2000 for it's very sophisticated abilities to deal with tags, and it's database functionality... It's very customizable so I even have it set up to show and even sort by BPM, key, etc.
I'd love to be able to do that with my video, but i've never known how. I'm transcoding my videos now from the original VOBs into x264 in matroksa containers, which should be able to support tags - that would ROCK if virtual DJ allowed me to do that.
e-lectric, Tag & Rename will handle video tagging functions? Can I import stuff from a database or spreadsheet and mass tag a whole whack of videos at once like I can with foobar?

i've said it before and i say it again, i would like it to have the same function as mixmeister whereby whatever you write in the browser tag window is wrote to the original file, for me that would eliminate the nightmare of anything going wrong with the xml file.

Tag & Rename can handle video files. You can pull the tags from the filename by setting up macros, so if your files are named in a specific format you can autogenerate the tags.
