Using VirtualDub - Removing Logos

[South]

first question: is there a scene in the video where the logo is on uniform black?

You can see the original here. http://bil.feber.se/2006/05/video_ferrari_5.html

No response at all,what happened?

at 2:37 in the video the ("youtube") logo is surrounded in black. take a screenshot of it, crop off all but the logo, leaving a border of about 3-5 pixels (make sure vertical & horizontal res are even numbers). open it up in a photo editing application, use an eyedropper tool to select the black colour used and paint around the logo, so that the black is uniform.

download virtualdub & the x-logo filter, open in virtualdub-- applying the filter should be self-explanatory

not sure what you want me to do with those links

i have suggested the method that i believe works best (though i use avisynth in place of vdub for filtering). if you find another method you like better, by all means use it.

but opaque logo removal requires interpolation, which just creates a rectangluar blur, i'd rather have the logo there

x-logo filter?did you mean this?i can´t find anything else.

Nothing here.

I don´t question your advice i can´t find the filter.

the avisynth filter is avilalbe here http://www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises

but for ease of use you'll probably want the vdub filter, which is attached (although an older version)

Is this ok to start with?

crop the grey border completely, and fill in the blue/whitish gap at the bottom with the same black

edit: lol just realised it was a screenshot of the editing app

well the latter applies, paint over the gap

you also need to paint over the brown bit on the left.

you open the VIDEO in vdub. then go video-->filters and add the x-logo filter

[South]

Like this maybe?

I forgot to resize the image,that´s why i couldn´t see the brown.

that looks about right. load the file, position it and click "zero". adjust the white balance (usual ranges are 230-260) so it looks good to you

Nothing works here,i have no idea what´s going to happen.
I´ve never done this before so i need a step by step guide in how to do things.

do you have the video on your hard disk?
