i was trying to use this app and when i go t full screen it covers the other program up. is there a way to allow the pip to stay in front of the video. here is a video of what im trying to do.

I downloaded the PiP app, but it doesn't seem to be working that well on my computer - as it flashes dark areas if the screen updates areas beneath it. Allowing the PiP window to sit above MixEmergency shouldn't be a hard problem to solve. I'll have a look into it later today.

Okay, had a look at the problem - it's essentially just a problem with the level at which the MixEmergency full screen output is at. I'll add an advanced option to the preferences to lower the window level, as I think that it would be best to keep the current level as the default (i.e. most people want the MixEmergency window on top of anything else that might pop-up on their desktop). The fix will be out in MixEmergency 1.2 - which isn't too far away now.

Not around my mac to try this but did you guys try changing the encoding options? It flashes when in front of VSL too but when you change the encoding options to apple h.263 it worked fine. Not sure if that'll work for M.E. also

That seems to have fixed it for me.

MixEmergency 1.2 is out now - so this should now work (though you have to enable a preference on the advanced panel of the preferences).
