Congratulations to Meek.tv for winning the Intel DJVJ Battle competition at Cargon in London! Resolume has always been their weapon of choice and it's paying off. They take home a laptop loaded with software (including Resolume) and the latest <strike>AMD</strike> Intel processor. Check djvjbattle.co.uk for video's of all the entries.

Hi, my name is s749. I will be serving the resolume.com website from now on. My old friend TIGER was getting old and tired so he could not handle the growing stress anymore, therefore Bart and Edwin have asked me to take his place. I will do so with much joy, I'm very young, have more RAM, a much bigger RAID array of hard-drives and a faster processor so I can serve all those php pages and videos about vj software, codecs, midi and all kinds of topics -that I have no clue about- with the greatest of ease. Yours, s749

We are proud to present the first footage pack from Superstar VJ Anyone called NeonBuzz. Lovely gritty analog footage that might make you famous too.

From green to yellow to red to purple to blue to cyan to green to yellow to red to purple to blue to cyan to green to yellow to red to purple to blue to cyan to green to yellow to red to purple to blue to cyan to green to yellow to red to purple to blue to cyan to ColourOverLife.

Forget about enjoying the finer things in life, this footage is banging! Built for Resolume's BPM playback it doesn't get more techno then this. If the DJ is picking up speed this is the one to play. This set is going to be exclusive, only 50 will be sold, so be quick.

Sometimes you just need to enjoy the finer things in life, like listening to Ricardo Villalobos instead of Jeff Mills or to Belle & Sebastian instead of Body Count. Drink a nice Merlot instead of cheap Lambrusco. Subtle differences make all the difference ;-)

Resolume version 2.41 does not add any grand blow-your-pants-features but makes your life just that little bit more enjoyable by being more stable, a little faster, a little nicer.

So go ahead and download, it's a free update again!

VJ collective Eyesupply have released another footage pack that you can add to your footage library. "LineDancers" is inspired on the latest iPod nano ads but there is not a hint of DRM in sight here. Just extremely vibrant lines dancing with the stars.

What codec to use for the compression of video files is an issue that's always under much debate among VJ's. For the last couple of years the general consensus is that a M-JPEG codec is the best choice for VJ-ing. With the PICvideo MJPEG codec you get the best balance between fast performance and image quality. It's most versatile codec for Resolume. Download the free evaluation!
