how can I add a line in a video and play it with implay command?

I want to play a video in which I want a line at a location in the full video, How can I do that. I want to use 'implay' because other methods take a long time and they don't have that many playing options.

Mohit - why don't you just read all frames of the video into an mxnx3xk array (assuming true colour frames), insert the line into each frame, and then pass this to implay?

Thanks for the suggestion but, I have more than one hour video, storage of that much memory is a problem (It shows an error). If I do this frame by frame using 'for' loop then it will take more time.

VideoFileReader, modify the frame, VideoFileWriter to write the frame. Afterwards you are left with a movie file you can play with implay
