  You don't have to do that.  There are some easily available players
that can display two videos at the same time.  With different
resolutions, all multiplexed into _one_ file/stream.

  The one who told me about it said that the Matroska container
supported it (MPEG used in DVDs supports "angles", so Matroska
is not the only one) and that vlc could play it.  He said he
tested it, and vlc showed each video in its own window, in synch.

  To avoid funky solutions you could pan and zoom with the
Compositor's to blow up the parts that have too small writing.
This means extra work, for sure.
