Video Overlays

[shindasingh]

I am planning on setting up a live video stream for an upcoming basketball tournament, and was wondering if theres a way to add the scores and a timer on top of the live video.

I have a few *fixes* to this problem but they all seem pretty out there and involve more hardware then I currently have access to.

Basically what I have is a powerful laptop with video in, t1 connection, and a dv camera. (I can possibly get access to another high end computer if need be).

I've read up on and understand adding an image overlay using FFDShow, but couldn't find anything anywhere about a video overlay.

Also does anyone have any tips / articles on how to go about brodcasting commercials rom sponsors?

I hope someone can help and thanks in advance.
