Yes you can. But I must qualify that by saying that there are some things
that you can not do well in Movie Maker when compared to other software.
If you want to switch between camera shots thats quite easy...you simply
cut each original video into clips and apply the clips in the order that
you want together with transitions and effects if needed. I could offer
more help if I knew exactly what it is you want to do.

For a good example of a Movie Maker video done with 2 cameras, look at the
MovieMaker Gallery at neptune... the 'Dancin' Queen' video in the PapaJohn
Expert Zone section is one I did for a wedding dance scene in August. I had
my digital camcorder on a tripod facing the stage, and walked around with my
analog one.
I redid this video for an even better version for the 7 page tutorial in the
current Winter Special Edition of MaximumPC on newstands in the U.S....
(PC-HOW-TO). The tutorial is pretty detailed in taking you through how to do
it.... and the included CD has my source files...
The special edition for the MaximumPC magazine is included on the CD that
comes with it.
I guess what I need to work on is having one sound track follow though the
entire movie like it does in this.
one other use for a second camera also is for shooting other short clips
you want to add in to the production later.. This is called the 'B roll'
( I have been reading too many magizines).
I think the take-off on this one for the MaximumPC tutorial is even better,
but the editor asked me not to put it online until the magazine stops being
sold on bookstands.
I may have to go to the fry's electronics mag. rack tonight and get one!
I do not know if the rest of the folks here have a fry's electronics in
their town but it is like a huge supermarket sized building filled with
computers and electronics but also has coffee and food to eat in the cafe!
you can literally stay there all day....
used to dream of having a place like this when I was a kid in the 60's....
