How to show two video recordings in one video

[DarkJediMaster]

Hey everyone I am a novice when it comes to video editing, and I have a question that is probably pretty basic.

Q: Does anyone know a program that allows you to show a main recording and then a small box of another recording in the same video? For example: 4 people are playing Super Smash Bros. and the PVR is recording the gameplay which is the main footage shown in the video, but then to the corner of the video it has a much smaller box that shows the people playing it. How is this possible?

I have seen many youtube videos like this. Here is a perfect example of what I am trying to do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw5R8_DGbBo&feature=relmfu

Also if you know how to do that menu navigation that he has in the video can you explain to me how to do that.

Thank you in advance

Every decent NLE (non-linear editor) app has this capability. It's known as Picture-in-Picture ("PIP"), sometimes known as "overlay"

Does Windows Live Movie Maker have this on Vista?

Doubt it. Notice I said decent.
