Mosaic video effect?

[stunner21]

I am having trouble finding a program which will allow me to take multiple video sources and put them into the program to then make up one overall video from these sources in a mosaic like effect. The best example to explain this would be in Tupacs video changes. I have a program which works for stills but I have yet to find one which does videos. Does anyone know any program like this? I would try doing it manually in after effects or avid but it is a very tall order and I don't know if it is even possible to do manually.
Thanks in advance.

Actually, there is a tutorial over at the creative cow website to do just that in after effects. It's the video wall tutorial.

Hmm thanks for the links that will be a new way of doing things but that isn't quite what I wanted. I need to get that video wall to display a video made up from all the small videos. Watch the 2pac video towards the end to understand what I mean as I don't know if what I'm saying is 100% clear.

OHHHHH ok i just saw the video....its just a video wall and a picture behind....as it zooms out the transparency of the video wall is decreased....so make the video wall....lower the transparency and stick a picture behind it....and if you look closely on each of the videos after it zooms out, there are only a few different videos and they are are all just repeated over and over again, spred out
