What a detailed request....

[hardrock]

I think there's not too much to detail about it...
it' simple, I want only to add to my VCD file some text and logo

The best way I found is to add text to the avi file before conversion. I am assuming you want to add text over the top of your video. Ulead video studio can do this.

hmm, for example you could gives us the information, which video editor you are willing to use or which encoder. Does "text" mean subtitles or is it one text line, that appears the entire running time?

[hardrock]

I'm currently using TMPGEnc encoder...
I want one text line that appears the entire running time

Since TMPGenc comes with a limited number of filters, you have to use a video editor like VirtualDub, Avisynth, Ulead video editor or Adobe Premiere. I will try to explain how to do it with Avisynth, because it is my favorite editor / frameserver.
First off there is no native Avisynth logo filter, so we have to use Donald Graft's logo filter for VirtualDub. This filter works only with RGB colors.
If you have installed VirtualDub, copy the filter to the VD\plugins\ subdirectory. Anyway you can copy it whereever you like.
Create a logo (24-bit-depth windows bitmap).
Write your Avisynth script.

avisource("E:\matrix\matrix.avi")#replace with the correct
  \  path\filename
BicubicResize(336,152,0,0.5,2,72,716,432)
AddBorders(8,64,8,72)
ConvertToRGB#if the source is YUY2
LoadVirtualdubPlugin("C:\Program Files\VirtualDub-1_4_10\plugins"
  \  +"\logo.vdf","VD_Logo")#replace with the correct path\filename
VD_Logo(16,16,255,1,255,255,255,0,"e:\pics\logo2.bmp",0,0,0,0,0,0,0)
#what does it mean? In order: position x, position y, alpha blend,
  \  transparency yes/no, R,G,B,tolerance,filename,animate yes no,
  \   start,duration, loop,fadein,fadeoutend,fadeoutlength
ConvertToYUY2

Here you will get a full color non-transparent logo, that appears from start to end.

If you want to add only a text line, you can use Avisynth's subtitle filter.

avisource("E:\matrix\matrix.avi")#replace with the correct
  \  path\filename
BicubicResize(336,152,0,0.5,2,72,716,432)
AddBorders(8,64,8,72)
Subtitle("made by hardrock",16,16,0,1000,"Arial",24,$FF0000)
Subtitle("have fun",16,46,0,1000,"Arial",24,$FF0000)
#what does it mean? in order: text, position x, position y, 
  \  1st frame,lastframe,
  \  "font name",point size,text color as hexadecimal
  \  RGB values but start with a $ instead of #. If you want a 
  \  2nd or more lines, youhave to chain several subtitle
  \  filters together.
ConvertToYUY2#if the source is RGB

Save the script as *.avs and load it as video source into TMPGEnc. Make sure you disabled the direct show multimedia file reader plugin.
Hope it helps.

Oh man, it's so hard to do
but, i'll try..
thanks anyways

You can use VirtualDub and the logo filter. Maybe you will find that the easier way because it is a GUI. This is pretty easy editing and you can frameserve with VD to TMPGEnc. Avisynth is the way to go if you want to do more advanced edits and frameserve.
