add lyrics to avi file

I'm looking to put lyrics on a couple of Xmas carols for Xmas day with family, how do I do it, I've seen songs on UTube done like it and wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction...

Thanks

This is a fair and genuine question, i cant believe nobody has responded?

I never use fourms, but im so desperate to find a program like this, i joined just to ask the question...

I've looked everywhere for a tool that can:

1) Take a video file,
2) ...and a MIDI file (With Lyrics)

and produce a video that shows the specified video, with the lyrics pasted on to the video at a specified start point...

Im not looking for anything amazing... Imagine filming on camcorder a wedding karaoke, and you want to paste the lyrics on top of the recording to make a custom and personal home karaoke video as a wedding present...

There must be software out there like this, but i just cant find it... I would imagine that something like this is easy to program....

Please help me... Thank you

That is what is known as "subtitles" (either soft/overlaid or hard/burned-in).

There plenty of subs editors available here and elsewhere to get what you want.
