The original tool was built by MakKi back in 2003.
The tool was originally made for AviUtl, being only used within Japan, and is all in Japanese language. It was used to remove the half-transparent TV station logo from captured analog or digital TV programs. But it should also work with other logos as long as they are static and half-transparent. I've tested against Pilot's Eye Bluray Disc and it worked very well. Some porn video that comes with half-transparent logos from their publisher can also benefit, but I never tried.
I have translated the logo header file so you may check that for detailed structure.
Basically a LGD consists of a magic, a name, meta like w h posx posy etc, and the body which is array of actual logo image.
The image was in 12bit Y/Cb/Cr format, which is sometimes called as AviUtl YC colorspace. Alpha channel is recorded for each channel, so it's actually Y/A/Cb/A/Cr/A format. The YCbCr color space is different than what we use as YUV, and during computing, the original Delogo AVS plugin has to convert pixels to AU-YC, remove the logo, then convert them back to YV12. I have re-written the algorithm and it no longer converts data back and forth.
To create a LGD file, the only possible way is to use AviUtl (in Japanese).
A Chinese tutorial about how to use the Japanese plugin is available here. Knowing both Chinese and Japanese is recommended to read the tutorial. I've also built a website for
my collections of LGD logos these years so far.
