Mpeg strange logo on the right top corner...

[rouch]

I´m encoding some files with WinAVI Video Converter from Divx or Avi to Mpeg and a square formed with 9 smaller squares appear on the right top corner on the Mpeg encoded file that wasn´t on the original.

It´s also happening when I´m encoding to Mpeg with Vegas Video...

It wasn´t happening before so I asume that might be because of some program I instaled, one of them could be Win Avi Video Converter...

If anyone knows something about it

Thank you, Rouch.

It's a trial version of a codec - can't remember the name right now.

I think that the elecard mpeg2 decoder add such a logo with 9 squares. If you play the mpeg with VLC do you also see the squares (it has a builtin mpeg decoder)?

[mats.hogberg]

...That's the one I was thinking of. So, the square isn't in your mpg file(s) but added (overlayed) when they are played back.

Mats it´s not what you say because I have lots of Mpeg files and the onlyones that appear the logo when I play them are the last three I encoded

two years ago I had the same problem and someone here in Videohelp told me what to do but I don´t remember who and how to solve it

Thank you

[rouch]

any solution about it?

[mats.hogberg]

Get rid of the elecard codec. (CodecSniper) I'm still pretty sure it's the culprit.
Could you post a scrren shot of it in action?

I notice something that´s important here, maybe I was wrong, because I played the MPEG file with the logo and it appeared in Windows media player but with Intervideo WinDVD player the logo was not there. I noticed all these when i tried to get the screen shot and edited the file with Vegas Video and the logo was not there too. So I couldn´t get the screen shot...

It looks it appear just with Windows media Player but only with the last files I encoded,(that´s why I thought the logo was in the file). It´s like on those files when I convert them to MPEG there´s some info aded that produces this dam logo...

if it´s this elecard codec how can i get rid of it?


Thank´s Rouch.

Control Panel -> Audio properties -> Hardware -> Select Video-CODEC -> Properties -> Properties Tab - here you get a list of video codecs, and should see and be able to remove the Elecard codec. (Roughly translated to English from my Swedish OS version) Or use Codecsniper.

I´ve done what you told me but I could´t find a codec named elecard, this is the list of codecs I have:

- Canopus DV
- Canopus HQ Codec
- Canopus Lossless Codec
- CineForm HD VFW Codec
- Cinepack Codec
- DivX 5.1.1 Codec
- Indeo video 5.11
- Indeo video R3.2 By Intel
- ir41_32.ax
- iyuv_32.dll
- Microsoft RLE Codec
- Microsoft Video 1
- msh261.drv
- msh263.drv
- msyuv.dll
- tsbyuv.dll

Thank´s

Can't see it either. Try CodecSniper.

I had the same problem with the Elecard MPEG decoder a few weeks ago, I removed it using add/remove programs in control panel.

[rouch]

Using Codec Sniper I found the Elecard codec placed in the DivX folder

I deleted and problem solved...


Thank you, Rouch
