Hi All,
I've been searching around almost non-stop and couldn't find anything. I was wondering if there was an easy way to encode a video with a .tga logo (transparency). I need it to be in a linux shell because we'll be doing a lot of them very often.
Hope you can help.
Thanks.

so mencoder is part of mplayer, what's bmovl? I've never heard of it and not exactly sure where to find it.
Thanks.

Also, this bmovl will encode the movie with said tag, not just stream it.

MPlayer has a video filter called bmovl which allows another process to overlay images onto MPlayer's frame buffer. This filter was written by Per Wigren a while ago to enable Freevo to have custom OSD. That's when I thought, "Why limit it to OSD? Why not draw menus too? In fact, why not build the whole app using bmovl? That way we could have cool animated backgrounds a la TiVo." Unfortunately, bmovl simply wasn't designed for that. It scaled neither in performance nor features to support complex displays with cool transition effects.
So that's when I wrote bmovl2. bmovl2 does the same kinds of things as bmovl, only it's designed with a little more smarts and a lot more performance (assembly optimized blending, receiving RGBA or YV12 bitmaps via shared memory, etc.). If bmovl2 would serve as the basis for all of MeBox's interface, it had to be efficient. I had no idea if it would work, but after some weeks of hacking and tuning and getting advice on mplayer-dev, I was happy the the results.

hope this helps in the "quest" :)
