Are you sure your anti-skip option is off ?

If so try in absolute mode. For serious scratches, absolute is the mode you should choose, It is still flexible enough to allow hot cues, etc.
Make sure that you don't change the software pitch slider (must be 0% on software)

W'ssup guys,
I have Pro Licence. Updates are set to "Yes." I have been getting updates until b1932. You guys are talking about b1944 and 1946. I still have 1932, even after rebooting my MAC (Pro i7 OSX Lion), VDJ 8, or after just completely shutting the MAC down. Why is this?

Go to options, look for GetBetaBuilds & set it to yes

Thanks man. I'll do that.

You can always use the pitch slider in the Timecode player and this is the recommended way if you are using timecodes.
If you change the pitch in the software while the timecode is playing you make the actual song shorter or longer in time, while the timecode does not shrink or expand the same way of course. Remember that timecode and internal playback are two totally different worlds.
To be accurate, VirtualDJ is now smart enough and actually it will allow to set non zero pitch in the software but you should not do it on the fly during playback. The next time the needle skips physically VirtualDJ will calculate the new offset (because of the pitch change) and this will look like a drift, while it is just 'maths' for the software.
For the same reason you should not change the software pitch slider if you loop from a Timecode cd, this will change the loop duration too.
Again you can change the timecode pitch.
Now If you ask me why we allow to use the software pitch. It has some great advantages, for example you can use sync while using timecodes. This is a big plus for non scratch dj's who don't care much about things like sticker position or drifting.

Just in case you did not know, this was resolved in the last build.

OK but when u move the pitch slider on the turntables the pitch slider on the software move right so that normal.and I did that so when I do a fast back spin it go off the marker completely .I try this on Serato DJ same back spin and harder spin that the needle came off the record and I put it back it was still on the marke so no sticker drift on Serato DJ so why when I do it with virtual DJ 8 it get off the marker so sticker drift not good yet for vdj and I did the setting u told me to do .

I never get quick updates on my mac - I always have to log out in vdj and log back in to get the updates.

He means when in absolute mode do not touch the pitch slider on the software only control pitch from the turntables... I really do see an improvement with drifting.... so far with CDs in absolute mode every CUE takes me back to the exact spot and also backspin takes me back to markers I have set

I personally don't use sync when using TT nor do I adjust the pitch in the software - I use the TT pitch.
I think the dev team should just focus on the user base here requesting stuff be fixed not "scratch dj's who don't care much about things like sticker position or drifting". I think most of those guys who don't care about drift etc - use controllers or just a straight laptop anyway.
So respectfully - please could we focus on the skillset that is here please.
The methods you are proposing and are currently enable in absolute mode does not work well - I prefer Relative mode - since it less likely to skip and I can use my whole vinyl.
SUGGESTION : Have a pure ABSOLUTE mode - Like your competitor - In this mode there is no CUE points - LOOPS etc. In This mode you can set you cue points etc but you can't trigger them.
You guys have a Smart Mode - Which is basically should be a cross between absolute mode and relative mode. You really don't need absolute mode to be "smart" and act like a smart mode. The problems is some of the stuff you implement in absolute mode "math" wise with offsets may seem cool - but on my end it is not - my reaction is more like "what the bleep" - because the software is not acting as how an absolute mode should or how I am accustomed to real vinyl to work.
SUMMARY/SUGGESTIONs : Devs - Make it easy on yourself
1) Have a pure relative mode. Relative mode as is as almost good just need the drift to be fixed
2) Have a pure absolute mode.
3) Smart mode - let it be the only hybrid mode - Put all the fancy offset in this mode.
4) Focus on the timecode users reporting here - not the other users who may exist somewhere..

I did a gig last night and didn't get any drift.... maybe work needs doing on the vinyl side of things but all my tests show no sticker drifting
XGL is right though you guys shouldn't redefine the modes. Absolute should function like absolute, relative should function like relative and smart should be a combination of the both. Unless you guys want to be different from your competitors, if that's the case I understand but some may not like it
