VJamm Classic was one of the first video samplers to be comercially available - it is still good software and remains fast and stable - it has some unique features such as support for MJPEG hardware such as the DC30 and broadcast systems like the DPS perception.
please see the VJamm 2.5 review for details of the current VJamm version

VJamm is simply a new kind of instrument which lets audiovisual samples -'avi clips'- be played with. It is like a piano for sound and vision. With the addition of real time functions like speed up, slow down, reverse and loop, the user has a lot of control . The very fast response of the program and the inclusion of Midi support mean that rhythmic audiovisual collages - whole video pieces where the sound and visuals are perfectly in synch - can well be constructed. This is a difficult concept to communicate; see the Coldcut/Hexstatic video 'Timber' which illustrates the av cutup idea using images and sounds of striking axes and saws to create an audiovisual groove.
