    DJ Tips and Techniques DVD - Update

    I'm just waiting on the the final OK from Ill Vibe Collective on the DVD so we can officially launch the new product. Downloads will be available for purchase also when I find a suitable merchant partner.

    You can now access the videos by going to the DJ Tutorials page and scroll down to the "DJ Equipment Tutorials" headline.

    They are still password protected.

    NOTE: Continue to use your current password UNTIL A NEW ONE IS ISSUED To You. Your username will remain the same.

    Download all of the videos at the new location.

    Playing Videos From Your Desktop

    In order to play the 'WMV' files from your desktop, using your mouse, simply right click on the file name and choose 'save as'. This will prompt you to save the file on your computer.

    Once it's saved on your computer using your mouse, double click on the file where you saved it and it will play back in Windows Media Player.

    DIAL-UP USERS

    If you do have dial-up internet access I suggest you get a download manager such as SmartDownload from Netscape.
