Hi, as a follow up to a thread of scuba board: https://www.scubaboard.com/community/threads/subsurface-4-7-6-and-subsurface-mobile-2-0-1-released.555591/page-3 <https://www.scubaboard.com/community/threads/subsurface-4-7-6-and-subsurface-mobile-2-0-1-released.555591/page-3>
There, somebody wants to overlay his underwater videos with a mock up dive computer display showing the current data. This got me wondering if there would be more general interest in such a feature. After a bit of googling around, this should not be too hard using a subtitle format like SSA (https://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/subtitles/ssa.html <https://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/subtitles/ssa.html>): This is a text based file format that allows to show text at specific times in a video and there are even some drawing primitives as well as image display included. And ffmpeg is able to read that and render it into a video stream. As I myself am not a videographer (have not even taken images underwater), I wonder if there would be any demand for such a feature. I think we could simple export dive data to such a file format, not necessarily rendering a faux dive computer but just showing the information as a text for starters. Any feedback appreciated! Best Robert PS: Does anybody object to asking a similar question in the Subsurface facebook account as I guess that would reach more of our users rather than just developers?
