Yes, I should have said this was going to be a purely DJ set but not I 
have expanded it to be a DJ/VJ set. Anyhow all of it is running Linux 
tools. xjadeo, vlc, mplayer, LiVes are the video components of my setup. 
Most of the work will be done with LiVes though some of the audio tracks 
I have only in mp4 format so Ineed to use mplayer or vlc to add them 
into the mix via jackEQ.


Cheers.
