Ffmpeg keeps watermarking my videos

[jriker1]

I am using a copy of ffmpeg that comes with a program called BadgerIT as it's already there. It is putting a SVCD2DVD watermark on the video every so often. I like the version as the newer one doesn't take the same commands as I was told to use for converting my yuv video. Can share what I'm doing if it would help. On my iPad now so don't have the full list of params I'm using. Is there a way to kill the watermarking on this copy?

Thanks.

post your command line, it's probably way easier to convert the syntax of your ffmpeg to the current syntax then trying to modify a binary file.

For reference I have an mkv file I created with the source video, ac3 audio, and idx/sub forced English subs. I wanted to burn in the forced subs as my xbox cant display them otherwise.

I have a LOT of hard drive space so doing everything uncompressed until I am ready to convert to the final format.

First I embed the subs into a yuv file:
mplayer -vo yuv4mpeg:file=file.yuv "d:\Conversion\2 - Working\mission\mission.mkv" -vobsub "d:\Conversion\2 - Working\mission\eng_forced" -nosound -slang en

Then I convert to an avi. Not the final output but converting to something my main encoder can handle:
ffmpeg.exe" -s 1920x800 -vcodec rawvideo -i file.yuv -s 1920x800 file.avi

This command with ffmpeg now gives me video frame errors and doesn't start. Related to the -s


Right now doing just a -vcodec copy with no real params. Seeing a lot of invalid riff index ### > ### messages.

Oh and for reference I use expression encoder to convert to WMV because only format 5.1 audio will play on an Xbox else get 2.0 output in any other format. Expression always sees the resulting avi as 1 hour 23 minutes when the video is 2 hours 12 minutes.

Thanks.

More than likely the watermark is in the custom ffmpeg binary. ffmpeg is horrible at keeping backward compatibility of their commands, every few months something changes.

This should work with the latest build from http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ (http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/)

ffmpeg -i "file.yuv" -vcodec copy -s 1920x800 "file.avi"

mplayer already converted to raw so -vcodec copy should work.
