My brain remembers reading something (I'm guessing in this list) about video mapping with JOSM, but I now can't seem to find anything about it in the JOSM help/JOSM-Dev list/OSM-talk list. There's a few wiki pages that (vaguely) mention video mapping but nothing detailed/ specific on how to do video in JOSM (except some idea to extract each frame of the video out into a JPEG file and use the photo-mapping technique, which seems too laborious to be useable).
Can anyone point me to the thing my brain thinks it read? I think there was mention of the software using a Java library that could read AVI files, that would require the use of a particular codec, so I'm guessing that it was JOSM and not Potlatch/Merkaartor. In the absence of the info I was thinking of, can anyone suggest ways to utilise video in mapping?: I have video (AVI) from a vehicle that is synchronised to a GPS track (GPX). So, I was imagining that I could at least read in the track to an OSM editor and the video into a video player, and then look at the timestamps on the track and manually view the correct frame in the video in the video player (the video has timestamps on it). And hopefully then be able to easily move backwards/forwards along the track, whilst showing the timestamps. However, I can't seem to find a way of seeing the track timestamps in JOSM. I did find a way of clicking on individual track points to show the track timestamps in Merkaartor. I've never used JOSM before and only use Merkaartor 2 times, so I could have easily missed the obvious!
