Want a feeling of nerd accomplishment? Do what I do. Swing out to Rifftrax.com and buy a riff. It's the guys from MST3k and they sell you their commentary to play while you're watching the movie. The most I've ever seen one go for is $4. If you buy a riff for a movie you already own, the hard part is pretty much done.
Then it's just a matter of ripping your own movie, extracting the sound track, mixing it with the riff audio, re-encoding it and slapping the whole thing back together. It sounds really complicated, but it can all be done with freeware and some kind soul has typed out step by step instructions for the confused. The hardest part is waiting for one step to finish before starting the next.
It's pretty cool to know that you've made a disc that nobody else has and you did it the fair an honest way. Now I can watch Plan 9 with commentary by one of the guys, all three or the original soundtrack in all its glory. Definitely worth the effort.
