Video processor needed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Additional program (RadioChronicleProcess) should be developed that would
process a number of recorded .wav files and produce a single video file
with a timestamp in video.

The output may be a series of .png files plus a single .wav file with
combined audio track. Those could be further passed to ffmpeg of mencoder.

The configuration file should contain the following parameters:

- Mask of files to process (the same as in rc.conf)
- Optional start date and end date to process (otherwise all files matching
the mask would be processed)
- Operation mode, output files format etc.
- FPS (in many cases, fps of 1 or 2 seems convenient)
- Video resolution
- Background color (#rrggbb), "bluescreen" #0000ff may be actual
- A set of text strings, each of them configured as follows:

-- Text string, may include date format macros (additional macro may be
introduced for "blinking colon")
-- Font name
-- Font size
-- Font style (instead, HTML-like tags may be processed in the string)
-- Font color (#rrggbb)
-- Maybe text effects like shadow or border and their colors
-- Text location (x, y)

The video API to use is still to be defined.
