1. Normal vinyl isn't time coded.
2. Final scratch uses time coded vinyl... Don't know what Ravine uses tbh. Think it might be Serato?
3. DJ equipment shops.
4. Yes.
5. The two most common ones are Serato and Tractor. You will need all the hardware, software and the time coded vinyls for one of these programs. They are generally sold as a complete package.
6. Not much to tell. You plug your decks into a computer through the provided hardware and you then use the time coded vinyl to control audio files on your PC.

Yo!
Good to see you're learning how to mix! It's a great hobby!
Lets see now...
1. Normal vinyl is pressed with music in most cases whereas timecoded vinyl is pressed with a sound signal. If you listen to it, it's much like a high pitched whiney tone. The computer reads the signal and with a little magic, it lets you play Mp3s on your turntables! Ludicrous!
2. I'm using Serato Scratch Live. Final Scratch is balls and is no longer supported by the people who make it.
3. If you're in the UK, try HTFR.com but if you're in the US, try Agiprodj.com...if that place is still open. They do great deals. HTFR i'm not too sure about, have heard some dodgys about their prices and service but look around. Oh and if you're an aussie, can't go past Storedj.com.au or DJWarehouse.com.au. If you're ordering from them, make sure you call up beforehand and haggle over the phone. Don't pay list price.
4. Yep. CD Players work too.
5. The program comes with the set. If you buy Serato Scratch Live, it'll come with the sound card, USB cables, two timecoded vinyls, two timecoded CDs and software. It's pretty standard fare for any Vinyl Emulation Systems (That's what this type of technology is called).
6. From my videos you probably would have gathered that i love it very much. It's all i use and hell, without it, my sets just aren't as good as they could be. Go to a shop and try it out. Any DJ store worth it's salt will be trying to sell these things like mad. It's the new revolution in DJing. Give it a shot.

Traktor Scratch is even better.
If you're on a budget, you can use Ms Pinky with any sound card..
Google is your friend.

Hmmmmm.
If you are wanting stabilty disregard that statement, but if you enjoy the blue screen of death of the doomed beachball on mac sure Traktor is better
