remove logo from dvd

[ferry]

Hello, I have 2 movies in DVD-Video. Each of them has a logo, probably it was captured from TV. Can anybody help me to remove that logo, but don't loose that DVD-video format. I don't want to compress them into avi through some filters in VD. thanks

With those conditions, no.

You will have to extract the video stream from the DVD (demux), run it through virtualdub or avisynth filters to reduce the impact of the logo (you probably won't completely remove it), then re-encode the video. This video will then have to be remuxed back into the DVD structure.

If you use avisynth or virtualdub correctly then you will only have to re-encode once, after the logo has been reduced.

Demuxing the video is relatively easy, putting it back will be more difficult, but is doable. DVD Remake Pro might be worth looking at. Otherwise, search the guides for editing or replacing movies in a DVD structure.

And can you help me to remove the logo from mpeg2 movies?

Search for lgog removal or delogo in the forums and you will find many posts, includig some long and detailed comparisons and instructions on how to do this. There are a number of steps, and you may have to search for each individually.

Start with demuxing mpeg2 video from a DVD (vob2mpeg is a good place to start)

The look at dgindex for frameserving mpeg2

virtualdub and delogo or the MSU logo removal filter to clean it up and frame serve to your encoder

I don't know what would be best for putting the video back into an existing DVD structure, but if you are patient, I am sure someone will come along with an answer.

The only logo removing filter that really works is delogo. If your logo is an alpha-blended logo, it should be able to remove it pretty well. As stated by others, you will need to reencode the video however.

I have had terrible results with the MSU logo filter, so I don't suggest it at all.
