Is there a free video watermarking/editing software out there?
 

hook me up lol

all i see are trials

If you don't care about it being somewhat cumbersome, you can use VirtualDub for this task, but it only works with AVIs.

There is an unofficial VirtualDub-MPEG fork which will work with MPEGs as well.

thanks a lot!
now i just have to convert all my asf files so VD can use them :upsidedow

doesnt seem to watermark :(

i c, it has a logo filter.
now when i save a 10mb video it turns it into a 600mb avi! :warning

imagemagick can do it

You need to install DivX or some other codec to recompress it. It normally saves it 'uncompressed'. You choose those under the audio/video -> compression menus somewhere.

I think you are forced to recompress because of the overlay image, but you can try 'Direct Stream Copy'. That'll at least work for the audio.

ImageMagick.. with video? Sure you don't mean ffmpeg?

oh snap!
it was saving uncompressed lol

i am trying out different codecs and i am getting file sizes in the range of 30-55mb for a 10mb file before logo filter.

thank you for your help. it's very nice of you to help. :thumbsup

Keep trying other codecs, then, and see if it's resampling your audio. Audio is usually saved as uncompressed WAV. That may be your extra 40MB.

Just make sure you use 'normal' codecs for compression. Nothing really bizarre that people probably won't have installed. :)
