Sb: overlay graphics on vide

To: all
I am a PC guy, mostly, but I would appreciate any help… What I need to do is take a video image, add a graphic overlay on top of it, and put this combined image back onto tape. The image is from a race-cam, mounted on the roll-bar of my race car. I am recording a serial stream from a g-analyst, a device that records g-forces, as well. What I want to do is take the raw video, convert the g-analyst data stream to a graphic, (called a friction circle), and overlay that on top of the video image. To do this on a PC would require an add-on board that costs about $1000. Someone has told me that this is what Amigas are for <g>… So: Is this what Amigas are for ? Which would be the least expensive model that could do this ? Any addons required ? Additional software ? Special monitor ? Speak to me of desktop video… Any relevant files in the Libraries ? Thanx
