You don't have to do that. There are some easily available players
that can display two videos at the same time. With different
resolutions, all multiplexed into _one_ file/stream.
The one who told me about it said that the Matroska container
supported it (MPEG used in DVDs supports "angles", so Matroska
is not the only one) and that vlc could play it. He said he
tested it, and vlc showed each video in its own window, in synch.
How do I create such a file?
Can I edit both video streams in cin?
anyone have any better ideas?
To avoid funky solutions you could pan and zoom with the
Compositor's to blow up the parts that have too small writing.
This means extra work, for sure.
It is extra work that results in a video that makes me sea sick. maybe with
enough work it could be done so that it both looks nice and you don't loose any
detail. Before I did that much work I would increase the res of the camera
footage and cut back and forth between the two. This might make a considerably
bigger file (how much bigger, and how big is too much is to be seen) but it is a
more acceptable work/results ratio.
But putting both streams into one file and having the player deal with it is
much more preferable.
