Again short on time. Do you use the 350MB avi files? Because I think you place the mask outside of the 624x352 of the image. I also think you get at the edge even if you are using a High Definition avi. There is also no need for the LoadPlugin.
You should see a blurred spot on the left top corner, that is the mask that will blur the logo. Also did you change the jpg-pic I uploaded to a bmp? 24x depth? Otherwise you are asking for a bmp, when you only have a jpg and avisynth doesn't recognize it. I think xlogo only works with them, so you have to change that.
First, the jpg I had was not saved as a 24 bit bmp (I'd used the 256 one instead not knowing it made a difference) and then I adjusted where the logo fits and well it worked.
final code that worked for an AVI 350mb file was this.
apparently loading or not loading the plugin didn't seem to make a difference. the bmp and the position apparently had more of an affect.
I also noticed that you can't use this logo remover on ever scene because you see the big blurry blob. (luckily spn is kind of a darkish show...) But it worked! :)
Again thanks for your help and I hope some of what I've asked and ran into helps with any updates of your tutorial.
I just followed the instructions that came with the filter, so I never tried another format for the mask. So it must be a 24 bit bmp, anything else won’t work? Right? If you make your own bmp the blurred spot should be only eight pixels bigger than the original logo, there must be a 4 pixel black edge around the white. Sadly the CW logo is huge compared to other networks.
You already adjusted the alpha level of the mask with your change to 3. That would be the last thing that needed explaining once it worked. And I agree, you lose all the detail there, it’s most noticeable, when there is an extreme close-up on the right side or Sam’s flannel shirts suddenly grow a greyish spot instead of squares. But on a dark scene, it is pretty much perfect. I also feel that your eye isn’t automatically dragged in the corner, the blurred spot is so much easier to ignore in favour of the white, if you mix up the new eps with your DVD source.
I hopefully will get to write this tutorial in the next two or three weeks, you’ve been an immense help, Amothea. I know that most people work with avis and I’m certain that things like the position or the 24 bit bmp wouldn’t have occurred to me otherwise. Thank you so much!

Re: unrecognized exception error
Okay so try this one:
AVISource("C:\Users\a\Desktop\eigene MVs\mygirl-astarte.avi")
converttoRGB32 xlogo("C:\Mixed\Supernatural\Season 3\cwlogo2.bmp",68,64,5)

Re: unrecognized exception error
I haven't changed the depth of the bmp. I just opened the jpg and saved it as a bmp. I didn't change anything else about it. I can check that tonight.
Will let you know how the test works out. Again thanks for your help. :)
