newbie please help

Hi all

I have copied my old silent home movie video onto a DVD. Using my stand
alone DVD recorder/player and my VCR.

Okay, now what?

What I want to do is make DVD's for my kids. But of course these movies are
silent.

I would like to use Windows Movie Maker (which came with my computer) But I
would like to have songs playing in the background (so it is not so boring
to watch)

What is my next step and please explain how to do it.......................

Thanks in advance.

yes you can, windows movie make will give you an option in the time line to
select a sound file, what you can do is add a sound file to your colections
and then drag it into the time line in the second row where it says:
audio/music :)

Refer to my comments in Microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers.

In the future please do not multipost as you have done. It
is better to crosspost (same message to different newsgroups
at the same time.)
