When I open roxio creator 8.2 XE, and want to make a DVD, I click on either "create or edit DVD project", or "Quick DVD creation".  The program starts to open and the screen appears, but then a windows error box appears and says, "VideoWave 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close.....send error report or don't sent...etc.   I have tried rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling both the driver for the drive and the software for the burner.  I am running Windows XP and have about 7.5 GB of memory free.  I am wondering if maybe there is not enough memory??   I don't know what else to try.  I have been able to copy from mini DVD's from my camera to a normal DVD fine, it's just the creator that isn't working.  I'd like to be able to put more than one mini DVD onto a normal DVD and also use files from my computer to add.  Help, please.

You  mention your concern for memory, would you please post your computer specs so we can see exactly what your system has.
This software is OEM and you might need to contact the company you purchased it from for help.

Memory is a term usually used when talking about RAM in your computer.  I am making a guess that you are talking about the free space on your hard drive.  If that is so, you need to free up a lot more room or get a larger hard drive.  I recommend both.

Also, I have not heard of the version of EMC 8 that you have.  Where did you purchase it?

Bruce, I googled it and Mad Dog appears to be one of the drive mfg. that includes this software. There's not much out there on it that I can find.

Thanks, Paul.  In that case, I have no clue how the OP's version works.
