@PatRam I have the same setup as yours. The embedded information is the subtitles that QGroundControl makes when I record the video stream. I recently answered this question on another post: Potholes Reservoir, Washington - #6 by btrue
Here’s the quoted version here for convenience:
@AmphibPS Yes, I have only used QGroundControl. The reason why it looks different is because I use QGroundControl to record the video stream, then later when I edit the video I use the free program HandBrake to burn the .ass telemetry subtitles into the video and convert it to a H265 .mp4. I have 2 Ping Viewer windows open on a second monitor that I use OBS to record that screen. Then it’s easy to use Davinci Resolve to sync all of the views and overlay the Ping Viewers and GoPro views over the main video.
To record videos with QGroundControl there is a drop down list on the right side. There is a red record button in the “Video Stream” (I think) menu that that records the main ROV camera stream and also produces some .ass subtitles that has the telemetry that you see in my video. VLC automatically plays the subtitles with the video as long as the subtitles are in the same folder as the video, but they need to be burned into the video in order to share it. https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/master/en/FlyView/FlyView.html
This is my control setup in action. I also have a moving blanket that I pull over my head to block the sunlight because my laptop doesn’t have a bright screen:
