| I'm looking for a way to capture two video sources in real time. One being a full screen video feed , while the other is a PIP of another video feed. These would be captured to one file. I'm looking for a filter or a program that might get me closer to acheiving this small miracle. I also thank you a head of time for any suggestions. |

| This is Totally Impossible to do they way you are explaining it...What Might sort of work is to capture Both sources seperately into 2 seperate Files, then use a Simple File Player to Play one of the Videos in a Big window and a Different File player or the another instance of the same file player to play the second video in a Smaller window and put the Small window in the Corner of the Big player window, so it looks like a Picture in Picture , then use a Screen Capture Program to capture Both windows Playing Both files..It seems in theory that this should work But in reality it might not cuz you will need a Lot of CPU power and Drive speed, but it is worth a Try... |

| Thanks Minion.....man "totally impossible" .....well I thought of your way, but I was looking for the killer app that might do all those steps in one step.....Guess $1000 Multiplexer or Quad is the only solution.... |

| Wouldn't it be straightforward to capture both videos, then use your favorite NLE to accomplish this? I haven't done this specifically, but the Media Studio Pro tutorials describe how to overlay videos onto each other ... But you're probably looking for a way with the same quality to cost ratio as VD  (i.e., infinite) ( i know, i know, that's not technically correct).If this is a one-time thing, and they're not more than say 20 - 30M videos, let me know and i'd be glad to take a crack at it ... be a fun learning experience. |

| I think there aren't any TV Tuner cards that can tune in to two different frequencies at the same time AND capture them as well. |

| With two capture cards it would be possible to build a DirectShow graph that allows you to do this (provided you can find (or write) a DirectShow filter that will place the image of one input at the correct place in the other). |
