If this needs posted somewhere else, let me know…
Anyway, I have an HD copy of Shag The Movie, but it has a transparent MGM logo in the bottom right corner, can it be removed or is it stuck there? I am not experienced with removing logos and need someone who is to let me know. Thanks.
In theory it should be removable. I remove logos for Japanese TV stations from TS dumps I encode all the time (mostly Nittele and Animax), but I rely on logo masks other people create.

Thanks for the info, Molly.
I'm one of the people who provides Molly with such logo masks, if you need help with it. ^_^
EDIT: Here's a sample (sorry, no comparison :<) of delogo'd ITV4 Batman I had handy. The ITV4 logo was at the top left corner. http://imgur.com/a/IL2gd (Ignore the replaced FOX bumper.) The less grain and less macroblocking there is, the better it works. Another important factors are 1) how and with what settings the delogo mask was made and 2) the opaqueness/transparency and the colours in the logo.
That Batman logo removal looks good, that is what I need to do. I will try to post a screenshot of the logo I want removed later. The logo is a transparent MGM logo, should that be pretty easy to remove?
I'll be able to better judge how well it's removable when I see (a) screenshot(s). To make the actual logo mask, the video source file is required though, at the original resolution and without any quality loss and such; so preferably a cut, but non re-encoded file. About 15 minutes of footage tends to do the job, and if there's places in there where the screen is completely pure black, that helps a lot too.
There is pure black in the very beginning of the film, I will work on getting you the screenshot soon. That way you can tell me what can be done with it.
I'll be best be able to judge it with a screenshot during a not too dark scene.
Yes, I meant I'd get a screenshot of a bright scene. I was just pointing out that there were pure black parts in the movie at some point, as you said that helps when masking it.
