VirtualDJ is able to decode several formats natively with its audio and video decoders. The Codec tab
identifies what file types (by extension) use what specific decoder for play in VirtualDJ.
At install, VirtualDJ includes the some of the common sound and video file extensions. If, VirtualDJ is
not already associated with a specific extension for an audio or video codec then select the ‘Add’
button. Enter the extension and then select from the several available decoder engines that VirtualDJ
is able to use as a decoding engine.
Determining Appropriate Selection for a Unique codec
If the VirtualDJ MP3 or Video decoder is unable process a certain file then that unique encoded format
(codec) can be assigned to one of the other supported decoders. Ensure the appropriate CODEC for
that audio or video type is installed to the operating system and the file is playable in one of the
supported decoder applications listed in the VirtualDJ Decoder drop-down. Then assigned that file
extension type to that decoder.
