How to add a logo of my own ??

[Nobodydies]

Hello to every one !

I have the first elements of my new DVD (that means that I have one .m2v and one .mpa), and I can produce without problems (thanks to everyone that helped, and especially to dimmer) my DVD project on disc.

What I really want to do now is a finishing touch in my project, and that is a logo of my own in a upper corner of the film´s screen, that lasts until the end of the film. The logo can be a simple name or a bitmap, or both.
Which is the easiest method to make such a thing ?


Thank you all in advance.....

check out virtualdub - there is a filter to do logos in it.

Afterlife, thank you for your quick reply.

I will do this right away and I´ll keep you inform for the results!

It really works, but if I am not wrong it has some limitatioms!!!

I mean, in which mode should I choose to save my project ?

I don´t want to have syncronization-problems with my audio file later.....

Right now I am waiting to see what is going to happen when the work is over.....
I´ll keep you inform, but in the meantime if you have another idea share it with me!

It works, but how can we save it ? In my first try it was produced in the first 5 minutes a huge file of 10 giga (Full processing mode--->Uncompressed RGB).Of course I terminate the program after this...


In my second try it produces a 500 Mb file (Full processing mode---->REALmagic MPEG-4 Video codec ) that it was not recognisable by other programs except VirtualDubMod.

Please help......

I see your point...
I would have added it to the original .avi before rendering it to mpeg. I guess that is a last resort for you now that you already have your mpegs made, but at least it's an option. I'll keep my eye open for you.

There was no .avi at all!!

This was a recordable dvdr that I recreate from the start cutting of the comercials.!

Now I have it in two different variations:

a) In the original ready-to-burn file with .VOBs .BUPs and IFOs
and
b)In a second file created after the demux from IfoEdit with a .m2v, and a .mpa file

PS: I forgot to tell you that in VirtualDub it was not possible because it is not accepting .m2v files.
Everything I have done untill now are under VirtualDubMod.

Umm... I don't say this alot, but I don't know.
I was assuming you wanted to put this over original material for some reason. Don't think it's possible to put a logo on it without reencoding, and you'll lose quality that way. - sorry I can't help man, good luck though, and let me know what you come up with.

[Nobodydies]

Of course and it´s not a problem to ask !
I am using Decrypter for the ripping, and then TmpgEnc DVD Author for cutting the commercials.
I also use TmpgEnc to recrate my .m2v files ( sometimes I need too ! )

The last days I tried to learn Maestro or Scenarist but thats another sad story
