    I there Im puttting videos on google video and would like to put a logo on the finished video i.e like the old Mtv one.
    The camera I have is compressing the videos in AVi so I need something that can read this fairly easily.

    Most editing software will read AVI's, it depends what codec the camera uses to compress it.

    to get a logo onto a video i would create the logo in adobe photoshop and remove the background or leaving it transparent (so the logo wont show up on the video on a black backround or whatever) then you just gotta transfer it into the video. it really depends which video editing application your using to create your stuff, the process is simple with some, and not so simple with others unfortunatly

    To make a logo, you need to make the image in Photoshop, and make an alpha channel. The editing software normally won't read a transparent background, it will replace it with a random colour. The image needs to have an alpha channel. And has to be the correct proportions. 720 * 576 for 4:3 and 1024*576 for 16:9

    768x576 for 4:3
    1024x576 for 16:9
    squish down to 720x576 if working in a non-square workflow..

    and as lump correctly said, alpha channel, do not rely on photoshops transparency.
