I was wondering if there are any good logo removers for TV Captured material for VirtualDub or AVISynth. By good I mean that I want it to not blur the place where the logo was or I don't just want a solid box of color there. Fading the logo into the background is ok, as long as it's not that noticable.

Logoaway, here: http://www.republika.pl/vander74/virtualdub/
It works in Vdub, not sure about AVIsynth. It can blur or use a solid colour box, you choose it in the settings. Use the preview screen to set it up."Art is making something out of nothing and selling it." - Frank Zappa -

DeLogo is the ONLY one that works well. It's the filter for semi-transparent logos, and the only one of the lot that can remove Alpha-Blended logs without doing more harm than good.
Take a look at the following URL for more info.

I've had fair success using DeLogo 1.3.2 from Karel Suhajda.

If the logo is fairly transparent then it removes it quite well. On more opaque areas it reverts to the "blend/smear" tactics, but with some practice and experimenting it can usually be made not noticable.

Logoaway does MUCH more than a black square!
Easier to use than delogo.
Another you may want to try is called region remove, although logoaway blends better, and done right, you can't even tell you used a filter.
It's especially good on those translucent tv station logo's (usually in the lower right), although I have used it to remove chinese hard coded captions with good results (if you fuss with it a bit).Cheers, Jim

The OP want's the impossible.
We have all suggested our opinions on the next best thing.
Just to be redundant, done right, logoaway won't be noticable.
If you truly want the video with no logo, wait for the DVD and buy itCheers, Jim

I think Logoaway can only process the whole video, but you can set delogo to turn on and off as needed, so you only process the part of the capture that actually has a logo, not the whole capture.

Even those "world's dumbest videos" TV shows only put a blur over the date stamp and they've got more resources than us. (Excepting possibly those members that actually work in the industry.) Logoway, IMO, does about as good a job as the blur in the video shows. It may not be to your liking but you can try it and see."Art is making something out of nothing and selling it." - Frank Zappa -
With patience, logoaway can do much better than the world's dumbest video editors
Most TV station logo's are translucent anyhow. It's the opaque one's that are more difficult, and of course the larger the logo, the harder it is to hide.Cheers, Jim

I have only once or twice seen a good logoaway job, but I have seen countless dozen of sloppy jobs. Just leave the logo. You are so used to seeing them, you forget them after a while anyway.
