I joined this website simply because I was having difficulties finding the answer on google. I'm trying to find out how I can make a video in video, or at least the program that would allow me to do so (I'm referring to like how the news does it, when you have the announcer talking, and they have a preview window in the upper corner). If someone could direct me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
You can do this if you have (a) VirtualDub and (b) AVISynth.
Install AVISynth and run VirtualDub.
Create a text file called test.avs from the lines below and drag it into VirtualDub (the locations of your files will be different).
Select 'Video' 'Direct Stream Copy' then 'File' 'Save as AVI'.
Hope this helps.
EDIT:::to keep the size of the output file from being too large, you should compress using a suitable codec (DivX, XviD?).
Choose 'Video' 'Full Processing Mode', then 'Compression'.
main=avisource("C:\Documents and Settings\Superuser\Desktop\video cd1.avi").ConvertToYUY2()
pip=avisource("C:\Documents and Settings\Superuser\Desktop\video cd2.avi").ConvertToYUY2().bicubicresize(120,80)
Layer(main,pip,"add",255,20,20)
