Yeah, my suggestion would also be just that: support superimposing using
the background of an OGG/Theora video. We already support playing those
videos for the Laserdisc emulation. It would be good enough (at least for a
first implementation) to have that as a background video to superimpose
on.

asiga: what would you do with this feature? What kind of possibilities are
you thinking of? (Such examples may motivate someone to implement it...)

Please consider implementing this old ticket. I used a NMS8280 for years,
and I'd love to be able to have it emulated on openMSX. 

I just saw that the NMS8280 video hardware claims to be emulated by
blueMSX, and I believe blueMSX is open source, so it would be possible to
take a look at how they did it. 

Btw, if you implement this, don't try to "connect" it to any host video
capture device, like blueMSX seems to do (they seem to require that you use
a TV grabbing card on the host). Don't do that... it's system-specific, and
not too useful. Instead, connect it to generic video files, such as MPEG,
motion JPEG, or whatever (don't worry about supporting too many codecs
either... just support one video format, and we users will convert to it if
necessary).

By using video files instead of system-specific video capture hardware, the
possibilities of this feature would be INMENSE :-)

Please, please, please, implement this!!!! :-)))

We could also include the Sony HBI-V1 digitizer.

Some information about that is here:

A first idea: implement code that can use the (scaled)
output of another window as input video source.
