Hi,
and welcome to the crazy and easily addictive world you're possibly about to enter: videos.
There are tons of different video programs you can use. Adobe Premiere, Pinnacle Studio etc... There's also this free program - Windows Movie Maker 2 - which works perfectly fine as well: both me and Lynn are using it.
Winows Movie Maker (v.1) is a difficult one: it doesn't really give you that much to go on. So if it came with your machine or something, I wouldn't really recommend using it. But WMM2 will give you a lot. And it's extremely easy to use.
If you can't use those programs, then I suggest going to your local el. store and ask for video editing programs there.
So, if you've got all the L&C episodes and know how to load them onto your computer, then I say you're all set.

That's the biggest problem, getting the footage into your computer. You need a capture card to take it from your VCR and digitize into a file on your computer that you can edit and add text and music to.
Capture cards come anywhere from $100. external from Pinnacle Systems I think, up to huge amounts of money for professional ones.
Hope this helps

Yeah, you will probably need a new PC. I know people were making videos on Windows 98 computers a long time ago, but things have improved so much since then. It's good to go with a lot of RAM. My video maker program eats RAM like crazy. I have 223 MBs, but I would recommend at least 500 MBs, or even more. Make sure your harddrive is huge, because I often will use up 1-2 Gigabytes of space JUST to hold the clips I've imported to make a single video.
