(if this Q is covered in a thread please provide link & I'll review)

"I'm so 2000 and LATE"...just getting into the video market and need some input on converting formats - which format plays/projects the best. I buy alot of iTunes video (damn iTunes is M4V) but don't want to playback on iTunes. How do I rip/convert video to mpeg or FLV format that holds quality in picture and sound.

I'm still in the basement and won't be gig ready til fall. No rush. I have a BenQ MP610 DLP from previous work that I'd like to incorporate. I have Virtual DJ (just learning) - Sony laptop and my console is all Pioneer.

I want to learn to beatmix video the same way I've mixed CD's for the past 10years - any and all experienced help is appreciated in advance.
 
There is alot of good advice in this thread .It's something I amlooking at too but I have pushed back the date a bit since this thread
