Am I correct in reading your post that you want to hear the music and see the words at the same time? Yes, it is possible but your timing has to be correct. Use Video Wave to do a slide show with a color panel and add the words to the internal track. Add the music to that internal track also. Watch the demo video about adding scrolling text. You'll have to adjust the display of the text and space it out to fit. You can make a whole slide show of music with music and text on a DVD. If you want to use your computer to display rather than a DVD player, make an ISO file and then mount that as a virtual drive. It will play better doing it that way.

BTW, you should be able to copy and paste text into the internal track of the image/music.

Other than that, Dart has a program specifically for making Karaoke.

I'm wondering if midi files are supported in VideoWave? The few times I've used them I needed to run them through Easy Audio Capture first to get them into a useable format.

Sorry, I missed that part. I'm sure that there is an inexpensive midi converter out there. The OP will have to Google for it.  Perhaps one of these.

So they are AVI files with the video and the words already there?   Just try adding the avi file to a MyDVD menu of your choice and burn from there (to an ISO file and then copy the ISO to the disc.)  

Karri, don't hesitate to answer the question for the poster.  Sometimes the post gets lost or the original responder may be away from their computer for an extended time.  If you respond, then the OP get the reply faster.

  Hi Steve,
  
Knowing nothing about karaoke, I thought my only contribution to this thread would be the heads up about the midis and VW, since I had used a couple of midis, but only after capturing through EAC.
  
Once the OP came back and posted that he/she used karafun (never heard of it till then) I googled it and found that page which seemed to cover the conversion topic fairly thoroughly.
  
I could not have offered much more to a potential workflow resolution than that offered by the karafun website. I only intended to add some information that might be helpful, and I apologize if my posts appeared vague
