Hello,

I have to edit a Video,

I must Crop it and later demove a Logo


Which Software is best for Beginners?
(I am little familiar with Vdub)

Whicht Codec and Settings do I need?

Please help me with short tutorial or steps to go!

I thought that Youtube disabled CABAC

However, Avidemux has a delogo filter, but crashes when i try to set it for a custom mp4 output,
i saved as huffy and then x264vfw avi with virtual dub when i used it(some year ago)

Vdub has several delogo filters, but i just downloaded them, can load mp4 with FFmpeg plugin(also quick time and Dshow, mp4 plugin not working for me).

With both you can crop and save in mp4 with Avidemux, if it work
or with Vdub in avi, or mp4 with external encoder(i never did)

or save an intermediate file and compress in mp4 with some not buggy sw.

Could you post the x264 encoding specs from mediainfo?
