I have a couple of promotional music videos of my own productions that I want to upload to youtube, but I first want to add my website address in either text or (better still) logo form along the bottom of the screen for the duration of the video.
What is the best / easiest way of doing this?
(I originally played the vidoes into my PC from analogue VHS into vob format, then I encoded the vob to mpg, so effectively I have the videos in both vob and mpg formats)

For MPEG files you can use the likes of 'VidLogo' or similar programs.
(These are shareware and leave a watermark on the screen until registered).
I haven't seen any free apps for adding logos or text to mpeg.
If the file was an AVI, then it would be simple (and free) to use VirtualDub with the 'Logo15' filter.
This gives good results and is fast.

Well, vidlogo works a treat with avi files which have a framrate of 25fps, but a couple of vobs which i converted to avi (using Free DVD Ripper) have a framerate of 29.97fps.
These I am having problems with in vidlogo. What I want to do is output as an mpg (for youtube), but the only way I can get the audio in sync is by trying to output as a .wmv - the audio I am happy with as 192kbps mp3, but the video quality is a real problem in this format.
Any ideas out there?

attar, why oh why did I not take your original advice and use VirtualDub? - what a fantastic progamme; excellent quality and laughs in the face of framerate differences !!!
One question: after adding the bmp of my logo, is there any way to resize as well as reposition it. At the moment, I'm having to define the logo size in photoshop before adding...?

Since my needs are simple (and I only use freeware) I open Irfanview at the same time as Virtualdub and resize and 'save as' at the same time.

Sorry - I just realized I hadn't extracted the Logo 15 plugin and was just using VirtualDub's own Logo filter!

WOW, this is awesome advice. Thanks.
one question. How could i take an existing .mp4 file into VDub, apply the logo, and then export it back out as .mp4 or .mov with as little quality loss as possible. What import as .mpg would give as little quality loss as possible? I knwo a few programs that could export the .mp4 file as .mpg; it stores the .mp4 stream in a .mpg container without recompression.
