Pop-Ups/Info Ticker #1029

Here is an example of how the end result would work:

Let's say you are watching "Far and Away" with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. 
You get to the part of the movie where Tom is asleep naked ona bed with only an 
upside down bowl covering his "man parts". Nicole is beside the bed and gently 
lifts the bowl to get a peek at his "stuff". Right at the peak of the scene a 
ticker bar drops down from the top of screen and the text "During this scene 
Tom secretly removed the towel that was covering himself under the bowl to get 
a more honest reaction out of Kidman..."

Here is how I would imagine making it work:

Go to MovPic Config... tab to the library.... find the movie you want to a 
pop-up to... right click movie and choose "Add Pop-Up"... a new window appears 
where you can place the time and text for the pop-up... save or add another 
pop-up

This feature is coming out built into DVDa/BRs and is becoming quite the rage. 
Each DVD/BR has a file with the text and times, and those could be imported or 
people can create their own. I have seen 1 that had the pop-up info built into 
the video, but not many. All digital copies that you can get have the info file.
