Hi there,
I have 2 videos of the same event, 2 different angles. What software do people recommend so I can have one video as the main screen, yet I can place a smaller second video in the corner, kinda like what they do on telly sometimes.

any advice would be great!

thanks
dave

One way to do this is to use VirtualDub and an AVISynth script.
The script is a text file composed in Notepad and saved with the .avs extension.

Start VirtualDub and drag the .avs file onto the window.
Assuming that the required codec is installed, on the top menu click 'Video' > 'Full Processing Mode' > 'Compression' and select the desired codec (typically XviD or DivX).
Then 'File' > 'Save as AVI'.
Note that unless full processing and a codec is selected the video is saved as uncompressed video which are huge files.
The audio should also be compressed using a suitable codec (Lame mp3?) else it will be saved as PCM.
The script (between the #'s) is typed in Notepad:

#
main=avisource("C:\Documents and Settings\Superuser\Desktop\Office clip\video cd1.avi").ConvertToYUY2()
pip=avisource("C:\Documents and Settings\Superuser\Desktop\Office clip\video cd3.avi").ConvertToYUY2().bicubicresize(240,160)
Layer(main,pip,"add",255,20,20)

The videos start simultaneously.
If one video had extra footage at the beginning that was not wanted, it could be loaded into VirtualDub and clipped, then saved as a new file.
The file would be saved with 'Video' 'Direct stream Copy' to prevent recoding and losing quality.

Before running the PIP, the script would be changed to reflect the new file name..
