Hi all of you,
I logged into this because it is a topic I am keenly interested in. While I have been making home videos for several years now, I have not ventured into the segment dealing with menus using EMC8 on my Dell 8200 computer. Each time I tried it crashed without giving any error message. I felt it was due to the limitations in the system hardware: only 512 MB ram but adequate HD 300 GB and limited video card. (Thus, I upgraded to what I would call an enhanced Dell XPS 410 to begin doing some of these things and now the software EMC8 would not complete the encoding tasks to burn a video.) However, the manual and the Help Guide was not clear in denoting the procedure.
I appreciate your dialogue in explaining how to addd menus to a simple movie. Yet, I am still confused about having to split and delete sections from the project to just to add two or three, five or whatever chapter buttons to a file. OK, I don't want to have to worry about DVD structures, in order to simply understand how to make a video, add titles, add color panels and then simply decided where to a put menu buttons to use my remote and select what portion I want to go to. Is there a simple step by step for doing this task in either VideoWave or MyDVD? Is there a link anywhere out there that may work consistently if the minimum requirements are met on a system.
Thank you for your help.
Eugene

What version of EMC8 do you have? The suite or the Deluxe version? Deluxe has all the functionalities enabled (no greyed out options). Here is a tutorial video. Check it out, especially Video Editing / Videowave / MyDVD/DiscCopier. Hope this helps.
PS: Eugene, I thought your questions deserve a separate post so I split it out of the thread that you originally posted your question.

Malatekid,
I did not respond to your question yesterday about the version. I have EMC8 Suite. I am still searching for a way to resolve my problem with using EMC8 on a this computer. I can't understand what is so technical about this installation which would cause the program to not install correctly.
Thanks for your help.

I hope someone knowledgeable in technical/hardware stuff steps in to advise if your system meets the requirement to run EMC8.

If this is the system specs? I would say it probably more than meets EMC 10 requirements.

A very common cause of a bad installation is having your anti-virus turned on while doing the install. Some of the dll do not get registered properly. Trend anti virus recent updates have caused a problem. Another cause is having more than one packet writing software on your computer - Roxio has D2D, Nero has InCD, there are others. These are programs that allow you to drag files to a disc. A third possibility are other programs that may interfere - Window Blinds is one, but there are others.
