That sounds like some awesome stuff coming soon I hope..but I am sure it will have to be tested thoroughly. So as of right now, does MAME currently have the ability to do such a thing with its own AVI decoder? I would like to test that function if there is a string I can add to the .lay file. I would imagine one day that file size will be limited. I can't imagine everyones PC being able to push out video and gameplay on the same screen without some performance hits. Good stuff Moogly!
