I am wanting to create a video which plays a song in the background and as the person is singing, the screen will display the lyrics. Very similar to a karaoke disc (CD+G) but the song needs to still be played in the background.

I also need to be able to have the font of the lyrics file increased because it will be played back on a normal television and viewed by elderly people (their eyes are not that great).

I've looked at Subtitle / Karaoke editors but none seem to do what I want. Can anyone suggest any software (free or paid) that would help me do this. I will have access to the original lyrics (accessed in Word format) and the song in MP3 format.

Edit:-

Forgot to add, I want to output the actual file to either MP4 or AVI so that I can then burn it to CD / DVD to play in a normal player. Already have Nero so will be using that.

If you use Windows XP or later, Windows Movie Maker should do the job fine. This YouTube video explains how to do this.

Thanks Ad@m, will definitely look into that. Just installing the Essentials package now. I have Windows 7 Ultimate. – Anthoni Gardner Jun 5 '11 at 0:17
