Counter on DVD screen

First of all, i tried to do a thread search for an answer for my problem, how can i do this in future.

I am trying to remove a time counter in the middle of a movie or at lease hide it

The only way to do it is to blur it out, or crop the video, which would result in loss of picture/detail. You would have to remove the entire picture that has the counter/below it.
Do you want to watch the movie on your computer/media player, or convert it to a DVD Video?

 

Thanks cyprusrom

There is software to blur it out ?

 

You can try and use VirtualDub with a logo filter included in VDub or logaway( http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Logoaway-Download-113610.html )
In Avidemux, you can use DeLogo filter(it doesn't completely cover the obtrusive image).
Here is how it would look with Avidemux:

.
With VirtualDub you can probably cover the entire timer with a black strip.

Code:

"OPTION 1 Blur rectangles (Virtualdub)
(Blur advantage, limited to rectangle, easy
- Ctrl+O -> Edit\01.avi
- Video -> Full Processing Mode
* Video -> Filter -> Add -> logoaway
- Click "Show Preview"
* Define your box location:
- Modify "Logo Border Position" X = Left parameter, Y = Top Parameter
- Modify "Logo Border Size" X = Width, Y = Height



OPTION 2 Solid color rectangles (Virtualdub)
(Traditional, easy)

- Ctrl+O -> 01.avi
- Video -> Full Processing Mode
* Video -> Filter -> Add -> fill
- In the lower left-hand corner select your color (typically black).
* Define your box location:
- Click on the each side of the display pane to drag vertical/horizontal parameters to the box.

You could try and crop it instead, see how you like the result. Just do a small sample.

 

Ok great, its not great resolution size already so i will try virtual dub to try and blur it out

Thanks again

Cheers Dan

 

I tried both programs but i am having a problem finding how to blur out the counter

 

This may help, don't know, never used either VDub but result looks identical to me: http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/260207-Remove-Spoilers-Logos-etc

 

Thanks Misty

Cyprusrom had a good idea of downlaoding another copy it was easieer, with no counter, will update thread
