dual audio tracks

[Guest]

I am looking for a way to include narration (as recorded by my microphone)
AND an audio track (set at a lower volume level) simultaneously. Is there an
update to the windows movie maker that I can download, or user friendly
alternative software?

Thanks. This will allow both the narration and the music right? What is the
difference in saving as a wmv movie or an avi movie? I have nero software
that is supposed to allow me to burn as a dvd when I am finished. Any
recommendations?

==========================
DV-AVI is usually recommended if
you plan to burn a DVD. For e-mailing /
sharing...the .wmv format creates smaller
files.

NeroVision Express might be worth
a try. There are many to choose from...
Nero, Roxio, ULead, InterVideo WinDVD
Creator, ProShow Gold, etc. The software
you choose must be compatible with the
..wmv and/or .avi format.
