A few years ago I started work on Xv like you. I tried to document my effort,
at least the introduction. I was a beginner by then, but some of the contents
can be of interest to you:

It explains overlay vs. textured video.

Textured video probably makes more sense in the context of Glamor (assuming
overlay is feasible at all).
