I need some software that will be able to convert any video type to flash and then watermark the video as well. Right now I am using the free Riva FLV Encoder which does a great job encoding the file but I can't watermark using it.

What does everyone else use? I don't mind paying

— the replies already on this thread show two different approaches: a permanent, pixel‑burned watermark (the mark is part of the video frames) and a player overlay (the mark sits above the player and can be removed if the raw file is shared). flagged the overlay shortcut; that convenience comes with weaker protection. and noted commercial converters that do both, which is fine for quick work.

A reliable workflow that balances quality and protection is: create a high‑quality watermarked master first, then do the final encode for delivery. Produce the master with the logo (PNG with alpha) or text layered on top, positioned in a safe zone (3–5% margin). Keep logos modest in size (roughly 8–12% of frame height) and semi‑transparent (about 30–50% opacity) so the mark is visible but not destructive. Avoid center placement if subtitles or important action are present. Subtle motion or staggered placement across the clip makes cropping or simple removal harder.

Final encoding notes: export the watermarked master with a visually lossless intermediate, then run a two‑pass or high‑quality VBR final encode tuned to the target resolution. Use keyframe spacing appropriate for streaming (for example, roughly every 2 seconds) so seeking behaves well. Verify the watermark after final compression on representative players and devices — heavy compression can blur or obscure small logos, so adjust size/opacity accordingly.

For batch jobs, script a pipeline that overlays the logo, saves a master, then encodes delivery files. For stronger protection beyond visible marks, consider forensic watermarking or controlled streaming rather than relying on visible marks alone.

Example pseudocode workflow:

for each source:
  master = import(source)
  master.overlay('logo.png', pos='bottom-right', margin=0.05, opacity=0.4)
  master.save('master_lossless')
  master.encode('final.flv', pass=2, keyframe=2s, bitrate=target)

if you wanted to do this for free, just convert using regular video converter with flash, and in the player itself that you build, where you drag the movie player onto your stage and point it to your video, just put a watermark above it and make it opaque. the player is compiled with it, the water mark sits on top, but then again, the video is still not watermarked if it's the video you send around alone...

just an idea.

I have found one program Flashconv. Probably it will help you. I often use this converter now because it can convert all video or part of video.

<snipped> can convert almost any videos to FLV and add watermarks to them! I've been using this program for several months and I really love it!

Member Avatar for NFS

<snipped> can easily do the job. Excellent capabilities for watermarking, plenty of extra features, not too expensive.

Try to use Watermark Master - the best soft for encoding video and watermarking!
This program is specially developed for this purpose and is able to do all that is connected to coding video and imposing watermarks.

I use program Watermark Master. This program allows to create anyone watermarks (text, logo, animation gif and create watermark from small video file, for example swf or flv), to work with any videos files (FLV and SWF)!
Very much I recommend

also VideoCharge very good soft for it!
