Cutting could be simplyfied by generating a line in the 'marks.vdr' file 
each time the logo appears or disappears. These marks can be checked and 
adjusted before the actual cutting is started.

Why do we have to know about the actual shape of the logo if we are 
using motion (or a derived software) ? We could use motion to look for 
areas that are more or less constant and if we find such an area, this 
must be the logo.
