Record Movie
VirtualDJ can record the session using the Microsoft MPEG4 codec installed on the computer
as part of the Windows Media Player install. The Microsoft MPEG4 codec is used by default
because it's the best codec to be used in live scenarios. For example, with the Divx codec a
video can not record if the size is greater than 320x320 whereas Microsoft MPEG4 codec can
record at least at 1024x768 and more.
Click on “Config” to access the configuration settings for video recording.
Record From –
• selects the recording source for the audio layer, video layer is always the Master Output
of VirtualDJ’s video engine.
• Auto-Start – checking this box will automatically begin the recording when the first track
begins playing. If not checked then manual activation of the recording will need to be
activated using the “Start Recording” button
File –
• Path – provide the path and name of the file where the recording is going to be saved.
• Prompt if overwrite – checked will prompt to overwrite when trying to record to a file
that already exists.
Once the choices are set, click “OK” and then “Start Recording” when ready. Press “Stop
Recording” when finished with the session.
When finished recording the file specified in the File Path field can now be burned to a
CD/DVD or immediately used as a track in VirtualDJ..
