None of these methods really satisfy me. They either leave remnants of the logo, or blur away all the detail. One more thing I'll try is to composite the logo out by replacing the lower right region with the same image from one of the VHS dubs (I believe Jaiman Tuckuh came up with that idea a while back). I'm skeptical that these logos can ever be killed to my satisfaction, but if this is anyone's specialty, feel free to take some of the stills from earlier posts and see what you can do with them.
The first 3 look worse than leaving the logo in.
The "BRAVO" lettering looks solid black here, it looked transparent in earlier screenies. So a logo-removal filter wouldn't work worth a damn anyway.
Yeah, I suggested using compositor functions to remove logos. It would work fine, if the other source is good enough, and color-matched & stuff. The caps of the other channels would work a lot better than the VHS caps, for the scenes they have in common. The VHS caps might not be good enough, but they're worth a try. I know how do it, but I don't have the time or disc space. At least not in the near future. (Sounds lame, but it's true).
P.S. I've got a lot more to talk about in another post, but I'd like to mention the fourth still (above) is from a TMC broadcast I captured. You'll notice it's a little over-saturated. TMC broadcasted the theatrical version, and left in some material cut from other broadcasts (The Mariner urinating in the cup). The audio won't be usable, since TMC is a Spanish channel (imagine my surprise when the Narrator announced "Mundo Aquatico!") I also did a capture from USA, which looks the same as the Bravo version, except a little less noisier and brighter. There are no major quality differences between these, but it's nice to have options for those shots when a huge animated Bravo add pops up and covers half the screen!

Wow! More scenes! Those have to go in. You could get the theatrical audio from the dvd, assuming it's the theatrical cut.
I didn't realize the theatrical version had scenes that the extended one didn't. Maybe I'll find the time to compare them side-by-side.
Those other versions would be perfect for replacing scenes that have logos, or doing logo repair!
Does TMC have any logos? Or have them at the same times? Same postition?
Is USA's (permenant?) logo in a different postition on the screen?
If they have logos in different times & positions, then that'd be ideal for repairing with compositor methods.
Ya mean the Bravo cap has those irritating animated "bugs" popping up? Ick.
TMC stands for "The Movie Channel" (premium channel) on my system. Ohhh... maybe Telemundo?
In any case, if there are any logos left, then that's the breaks. It'd be nice to get rid of as many as possible, though.
