You need the overlay filter, for which you need a relatively recent
ffmpeg (read non official release) - ie most likely built yourself. You
likely also need the SoC libavfilter code patched into the ffmpeg to get
the overlay filter. The need for this may have changed recently - I
think that was one of the topics for the SoC 2011. If you do still need
it, download the libavfilter code, then follow their instructions to
build it.

Then adding something like

-vf movie=0:png:watermark.png;[in][wm] overlay=0:0:1 [out]

Should do it. There's a doc file in the ffmpeg source code tree under
doc about it.

The overlay filter and the movie source are both included in the
latest FFmpeg, no need to patch it. The movie source syntax changed,
check the updated documentation or web site docs for examples.

One word of warning. If you use a png file for the watermark the
transparency information is not used if you use an indexed png. RGB is
fine though. (Unless that is now fixed and I missed it in the commits..)

I used for testing (using the new syntax):-

ffmpeg -i in.avi  -threads 0\
-vf "movie=logo-rgb.png [logo]; [in][logo]
overlay=10:main_h-overlay_h-10 [out]" \
-vcodec dvvideo -s 720x576 -an -y out.mov

So since it's built into the latest ffmpeg, i should be able to use
any of the latest autobuilds (im having trouble compiling for
windows.. it compiled great on my ubuntu machine... but i need this on
windows for now)

Since moving to GIT the ordinary autobuilds seem to have stopped.
however I did find that http://www.shragle.com/folder/f2f83fcc had a
recent enough windows version that included the movie filter.

This might be a dumb question... But nevertheless...

I am putting a hosted end to end web content management solution for
together for a large manufacturing customer head quartered in Luxemborg
for their corporate internet websites. In this regard, I wanted to know
any license / services cost for procuring FFMPEG video conversion as
part of my solution

My bid is to be submitted on 5th of March 2011, so would request you to
kindly respond with the contact details asap.

Thanks,

Please don't hijack threads.

FFmpeg is free software and can be used under the terms of the LGPL or
GPL, depending on your configure options. We do not provide patent
licenses and make no claims about their appliccability.

See http://ffmpeg.org/legal.html for more info.

UPDATE: i just tried another version. i got the following error:
[movie @ 0x14ad0f0] Missing key or no key/value separator found after key 'png:c
:logo.png'
[movie @ 0x14ad080] Error parsing options string: 'png:c:logo.png'
Error initializing filter 'movie' with args '0:png:c:logo.png'

i guess this is just an error in my command line?

1+ (hijacking threads is bad for everyone, including you). You might
not get the attention and answers you might otherwise, both because it
offends most people and causes threaded-reading confusion.

H.263, H.264, MPEG4, AMR, AAC with all their variants are a patent
minefield. There are few organizations acting as umbrella outfits with
patent-pools under their belt, with whom you enter the commercial
arrangement to get unfettered access to the patents in their pool, but
that might not be sufficient (e.g. case of H.263 and Lucent sueing
Microsoft etc.) Basically they don't indemnify you against all patent
claims that might be related to the codec in question, but only
against those in their pool. This is a very tricky area, especially
when you are talking of a commercial venture.

thanks for all your help. i saw the example but the problem is that i
have no idea how to apply it. i searched the docs but i'm either blind
or im not looking in the correct place because i cannot find any
reference to watermarking. searched the docs on the site and in the
rar file (like i said earlier, i'm downloading pre compiled versions
of ffmpeg for windows). i'm still lost as to how to apply your
example.

this is what i have so far:
C:\Users\kosta.MANSEFV2>ffmpeg -i "Desktop\bgb_candy_alexa_trailer_
SOURCE.MP4" -sameq -vf "movie=0:png:logo.png;[in][wm] overlay=0:0:1
[out]" e:\vid.mp4

what am i doing wrong?

You are not using the same syntax as the example:-
yours below
-vf "movie=0:png:logo.png;[in][wm] overlay=0:0:1 [out]"
-vf "movie=logo.png [logo]; [in][logo] overlay=0:0 [out]"
mine above (adjusted to match your position and filename)

i dont understand what [logo], [in], [out]. this is possible i stupid
question to you guys.. but i just don't find it is explained clearly
anywhere. should i be putting paths to files here? (path to watermark
in place of [logo]. path to input video in place of [in] and path to
output in place of [out].

my latest test give me this error:
[movie @ 0x162e170] Failed to av_open_input_file 'logo.png'
Error initializing filter 'movie' with args 'logo.png'

this was my command line:

ffmpeg -i "Desktop\bgb_candy_alexa_trailer_ SOURCE.MP4" -sameq -vf
"movie=logo.png [c:\ffmpeg\logo.png]; [in][logo] overlay=0:0 [out]"
Desktop\bgb_candy_alexa_trailer_outoutout.MP4"

You are misunderstanding Tim's command line, especially what [in],[logo]
and [out] are.

Tim quoted the EXACT -vf command that you needed

-vf "movie=logo.png [logo]; [in][logo] overlay=0:0 [out]"

Which means:

  movie=logo.png [logo];
                          defines that logo.png is your overlay movie
                          and it is called [logo] in the filter

  [in][logo] overlay=0:0 [out]
                          defines that the input source file has the
                          movie called [logo] overlayed at x:y
                          position 0:0, and sends it to the filter output

Hope that's clear now :-)

logo.png should be the full path to the watermark file you want. As it
stands, it assumes logo.png is in the current directory. The bits in []
are kind of like labels. So it takes a thing (movie source) called
[logo] and applies it using the overlay filter x:y coordinates 0:0 to
the source called [in] and labels that result [out].
