Server-Side: Overlay Logo On Top of Video

[SurferLeo]

I'm looking for software that will allow me to overlay a logo on top of video. The catch here, however, is that this functionality must exist on a web server.

Specifically, I need to create a web page that allows a user to upload a logo and a video segment. Upon hitting "Submit", the web server will then generate and display a new movie on-the-fly, merging the logo together with the video segment (the logo will appear and persist at the bottom right of the resulting movie).

Does any software exist for this type of functionality? AVISynth comes to mind, though I don't believe it functions in a web server environment.

Thank in advance!

The video has to be reencoded (if the logo is not just for on line viewing) which as we know is about real time business. Unless it's very small clips - would the customer like to wait for 1 hour for a 1 hour video? And that's for a one-client-at-a-time situation. What if 10 people hits you simultaneously? I really don't think this is feasible.

Provided that you don't mind the video being converted to flash the video could have an overlay put directly on the video quite easily much like the youtube videos but you'd have to have some knowledge of flash and web script writing. Also I suppose if you wrote a script for a simple web overlay it could display it over the top of the video but it wouldn't be a proper watermark that continues if you download the video at the other end which I have a feeling is what your looking for.

Actually, I'm not interested in allowing the user(s) to download the videos. It'd be online viewing only. That said, it sounds like Flash is the answer.

Any other opinions? Thx!
