Hi all

First of all i would like 2 say a BIG thanks 4 all the info and guides that can be found hear for everything related to video stuff as this has helped me out manny times in the past

this is my first post so please move this post if this is in the wrong forum

i have some video files of days out , xmass , new year , partys etc etc.
i can convert and burn them to a vcd but is it possible to have two video files playing at the same time like xmass on the left side and new years on the right side , then burn that to a cd so as you watch it you can see xmass on the left of the tv , and new years on the right .
kind of like two people playing a ps2 or xbox game in split screen

i hope someone will be able 2 shead some light on this

Combining two or more videos together into one is called "compositing." It is usually done with a Non-Linear Editor (NLE), which is a software program which lets you edit video.

Just about every NLE lets you composite videos like that. Go to youtube and search for "split screen", "compositing", "side by side", etc. along with an editor name. Like "premiere side by side". Some examples:

Finding an editor that still support VCD might be a problem!
