Logoaway and ffdShow

[syncro]

Hello,

I have been searching the forums and see quite a bit about using logoaway in virtual dub. I have found it contained within ffdShow video decoder. I am using this to decode the TV signal and would LOVE to remove logos realtime. This works, but only producing a blurry box that is almost as annoying as the actual logo. (watch disney channel!)

There is an option to use shape xy. This is interesting. I have been able to find out that a user can define the shape using a capture of a frame and remove just that. This is what I want! I have been unable to find out any more.

Does anyone know what format to use? jpg, gif, bmp? What color? Should it be the full screen or just the logo with positioning?

Basically, I see it can be done and read that people are using it but can't figure out how I can do so. Does anyone know?!

Thanks in advance!

I have yet to see any method produce better than a blurry, pixel mess. You are essentially creating a mask, so instead of the mess being a box, it will be the shape of the mask you create. jpg should be fine, but I would use png.

I have tried:

-capturing a frame
-masking the logo with all different colors
-background colors of white, black, and transparent (.gif)
-using formats .jpg, .gif, .bmp, and .png (.png causes an error in the filter and crashes it)
-setting sizes of cropped logo (and moving it in place), full screen (setting location to 1,1.



With no luck, or change of any kind.

Here is one of the test images I am using to filter. I couldn't find the color in it... I have also attached a pic of the logoaway settings I am using.

These are in .jpg to get them up here, but I have tried it in all 3 formats that it would accept. In the .gif format I also used transparent parts to test that as well.
