![]() I check my "favorite" folder and it lists 6520 music videos and that is correct. However, when I open up the software, the skin only displays around 75% of my folders. Both are intact and appear to list all of my virtual folders. I have checked the two database files (I have a D: drive where I keep my music videos so there are two database files). I like the improvements and the new look but. Could VDJ reporting a corrupt database make Windows believe that the hardrive could have an issue i.e.Hi, Just installed version8 (build 1897.765) on a Windows 7 32bit Laptop. Having checked Windows Event Log on each laptop this happened on the Windows 8 VDJ7 laptop around about the time it corrupted the database. I believe that this is because the VBR track appeared to be over the max load time until it was analysed? However VDJ6 will scan anything without issue? Plus I am concerned as to why Windows 8 has marked my hard drive for a Fix and Check Disk. mp3", but scanning the file on it's own resolved this. Plus when I batch scanned new music for BPM (VBR from Amazon) on VDJ7 every now and then it would stumble on a particular track and stop with "critical error in file. I still believe VDJ7 must structure the database differently as everytime I "link" a video to an audio file on either the VDJ6 or VDJ7 laptop, when I play it on the other it removes the link. not from any particular part of my collection. Last night when I was working using the XP laptop with VDJ6 (I still haven't got the Win8 VDJ7 laptop reliable enough for work yet) I checked my "recently added" and noticed that I had some old tracks and some recent tracks in there, which is what was lost when the database corrupted and got re-added. I use my own system : Music Video CDG VCD Visuals Then split the music folder into date folders when I add music and the video is Mixmash and Promo Only so uses their folder name structure. My music is not on the internal drive, it's on an external USB and I dont use the standard Windows My Music structure. And make sure you backup you database before you change anything, just in case something goes wrong. find: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\My Documents\Music replace: C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Music your filepath might be a little different, I don't have XP to check so make sure you check the filepath in the browser before you change it. The filepaths changed from XP to Vista so you need to open the data base in a text editor "notepad" is fine, and use find and replace or ctrl + h. Two questions, firstly is there compatibilty issues between 6 and 7 which can corrupt the database? Secondly would a "corrupt database" cause Windows to flag the disk as "dirty"? So I ran check disk from within Windows and it cleared the "dirty bit" and fine since. So I queried the "dirty bit" (When Windows marks a hard drive to say it needs check disk running) and it came back as "Is Dirty". I tried it on the XP laptop and Windows ran check disk on boot up, found no errors,but every boot up check disk would run. ![]() ![]() However the next time I booted up the Win8 laptop Windows told me there was a problem with my hard drive and it needed to be scanned and fixed. ![]() I "fixed" the database, but add to re-add lots of tracks. Then the other day I connected the hardrive to the Win8 laptop running 7.4 after using it for a gig on the XP version 6 laptop and it told me the database was corrupt. I can re assigned the "link video", but when I play it on the version 6 XP laptop it dissapears again. When I play audio files which have "linked video" on 7.4 Win8 the video link which was assigned in 6 WinXP dissapears when I load the track into the deck. I recently aquired a Windows 8 laptop and this has VDJ Pro Version 7.4 on it. All my music/video is on external USB hard drive. I have been using VDJ Pro version 6 (latest update) on Windows XP.
