The only problem with iTunes thought is the DRM. While Promo Only runs their encodes off a lot of poor BetaSP dubs, iTunes almost always requests the more expensive Digibeta.

All of their content is full NTSC square pixel res (horizontal resolution is always 640, vertical depends on the clip's aspect ratio.) They also use some of the best masters avaiable. I'm doing contract work for them now at a post house, and I can tell you their specs are very strict. ITunes videos are some of the higher quality videos available. think of itunes videos as the same thing as playing a 80k mp3 in the club. Itunes videos are crap.they might look okay on a tv.but it will look like shit when u put it on a projector. We don't want to all be playing the same thing now do we. Remix the audio, then format your video over it. In the spirit of Serato, creativity is the goal. PSS.There are tons of illegal places out there to get quality video too, so just spend time looking around and you can find just about anything.

PS.Having Promo Only right down the street from our studio helps a lot too. I have a feeling once 1.8 comes out, this is going to be the big problem, because of the fact that video is so easy to get these days. Dont embarass yourself by playing low quality YouTube promo videos thinking you look cool. If you're going to use 1.8 when it comes out, make sure you use DVD quality videos. I wouldnt suggest just playing any old video. We have the ability to convert to any file type once Serato announces the compatibility type. We use imovie and Final Cut to do mash-up video edits for our own remixes. We run everything into a Rane MP2016 Rotary Mixer which give us plenty of channels.

We run 2 macs, 1 with Serato for audio while we play ambient video & logos and 1 with Numark Cue/NuVJ for the music videos. We use Promo Only, Rock America,, as well as some forums and blogs for exclusive promo content.
