Question

This question may sound a little bit complex or ambiguous, but I\'ll try to make it as clear as I can. I have done lots of Googling and spent lots of time but didn\'t find anyth

Answer 1

You could use OpenGL to do the trick. Please note however that you will need to have to render steps, one rendering the first video in a FBO and then the second rendering the second video, using the FBO as TEXTURE0 and the second as EXTERNAL_TEXTURE.

Blending, and all the stuff you want would be done by OpengL.

You can check the source codes here: Using SurfaceTexture in Android and some important information here: Android OpenGL combination of SurfaceTexture (external image) and ordinary texture

The only thing I'm not sure is what happens when two instances of mediaplayer are running in Parallel. I guess it should not be a problem.
