Video white stripe, don't know how it calls

[Jelleke]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to restore the error you can see on the image.
If I would know the name from the error I could search for a virtualdub filter.
Can anyone please tell me a good virtualdub filter to restore this?

Thnx,
Jelle

No software will help this.The only way you could fix this with software would be to Crop the Video. You may get away with some enhancement but nothing that would look any better
What was the source of this Video?

[Jelleke]

The source is an old VHS!
I never tried to restore old VHS and it seems like it isn't easy.

You could try a better player.Or a hardware TBC.
How are you getting this on the computer,This could also be false MV.But I dont really think so.

I use my tv card to capture on the pc.
But it's only 1 time, very fast, not 1 sec. it's fast and away, but you see it

It looks to me more like damaged tape. Like it was stored flat instead of on the edge.

You need to get a VCR to play the tape correctly. Filters cannot fix that.

Isn't that a tracking problem?

Just a thought . . .

You could try to use heavy temporal smoothing a couple of seconds around where the white stripe is visible. You'll get a lot of ghosting, and it probably won't completely reomove the error, but it might make it less noticeable/disruptive. You would have to find a balance of how much you can remove it to how badly the smoother itself is going to mess up your video

I've never had this problem. This is just what I would try if I did. I have no idea if it would work at all.
