I figured out a way to hook up my modified XBOX with virtual DJ and use the XBOX Media Center Visualizations with the output of VIRTUAL DJ.....OMG it is awesome and I'm getting visualizations that go to the beat of the music while putting no added stress on my CPU. If anyone has a modified XBOX let me know and i can post a how to on this....

If you have XBOX media center on your modded box you can go into the settings and play streamed music....
what you need to do is either hook up your xbox and virtual DJ to the same router or you can just hook them up directly with a crossover cable. What you then do is broadcast your signal to your local network in VDJ and you set up the ip address from your computer in the xbox media center to be streamed.
Heres the thing i'm trying to figure out though now.....since it is streamed it is on like a 3 second delay.....I have submitted a request from some of my friends in the xbox media center scene to see if there is a way around this delay but i think its more of a VDJ thing since i think VDJ is compressing the signal before it broadcasts which is where the delay is coming from....I'll let you know what i find....

NAWTBOY, I also use a modded xbox as my whole house audio/video/photo setup. You can also use a Windows Media Center PC to do the same thing. I use xboxmediacenter on my hacked xbox, and he is right - you can stream to the xbox and use the visualizations in xboxmediacenter.
Hint - this will work with any music software that can stream to the xbox, not just VDJ. NAWT,.. you need to minimze your read ahead buffer on your xbox so the visualizations will be more in sync with the music. Who cares if it drops a beat or misses a frame since you are not actually listening to the stream from the xbox, just watching the visual.

Read the F.A.Q. at:
http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/
There are chipless mods that can be done with the Xbox. Depending on your desires and skill level, there are all kinds of xbox mods that can be used. Some require opening the xbox up. I've done 3 different methods of xbox mods (including a modchip), and I like the hard drive swap trick the best. It's the most reliable way to do it, anyone with fair computer knowledge can pull it off and if you back up your xbox hard drive, you can even return it to it's original state if you ever want.
Did I also mention the mod allows you to do things like run Linux? I have a modded second xbox that runs Gentoo linux and is also my firewall at home. You can plug USB devices into the joystick ports (which are really just funky looking USB ports) if you buy (or make) the adapter cable. My firewall has a second ethernet adapter plugged into the front ports, as well as a USB keyboard and mouse - something you'll need to connect to your xbox if you want to do any serious hacking on it.
Ok, for a DJ forum,.. are we officially off-topic yet?

What a great idea guys! I often thought about how to get a line-in facility on the xbox in order to use those great Visuals of mediacenter. This also brings me on another idea: You can 'record' your live set on your xbox while it is generating Visuals! Superb man.
Hey i mod xboxes myself, anyone need xbox-mods?

all i do to your xbox is opening it up, soldering a modchip onto the mainboard, and closing it again.
I can put the xboxmediacenter on it if you want (recommended)
and if you got a bigger HD, i can fit it into your xbox as well. it has to be 3,5" and IDE.
There are loads of extra features you can do with your xbox after it is modded:
* Play DVR-r backups
* Play games direclty from your BIG harddrive
* download gamesaves from the internet
* use Xbox Mediacenter!
that last feature is the most important one (to me ;) it plays ANYTHING (Mp3, avi, divx, mov, asx, ogg, wav, mpg1, mpg2, DVD, VCD, SVCD, broadcast-streams(internetradio)... anything!
check this website for all the things you can do with xboxmedicenter: http://www.xboxmediacenter.de/
i charge 50 euros for a mod (all in), i have been modding xboxes (and playstations) for more than 2 years. I do 'proper' clean installs, they never fail.

hmm, good idea,
download demo,
buy x-box for xxx $$
let it be modded for 50EUR
(maybe without delivery)
and you can broadcast.
It's much simplier to broadcast within VDJ :-)
it looks like it's not the problem of money you don't have.
it looks rather you want to show how "McGyverish" you are...
Don't forget to use SPDIF connection between your computer and x-box in order to have best quality.
how much time you spent reinstalling windows or uninstallig the demo you have. I think if you are so smart you can easily earn some money by servicing your neighbours pc's.

I think people are losing the point of why i brought this topic up......The point is to have cool visualizations and not have your computer doing all the work. There is a whole community based around making visualizations for the xbox media center so there are thoasands to choose from....
And yes....it is fun trying to get it to work to :)

NAWTBOY yes it's a good and understandable idea but my point was
regarding brennan11@nastyuser.com
and it's truth that it wil lower your usage even if using it for broadcasting.
