Lines on an mpg episode

[victoriabears]

Can you please look at attached. I use either Handbrake or TMPG Mastering and would like advice if anything in these softwares can improve the lines wavering through the clip, it looks like may be signal problem lines?? Many Thanks

Don't think you can fix that since the interference is bouncing up and down,looks like a type of grounding problem that can be fixed if you can you can find that problem and capture again.

ah cheers, yes i thought it was "embedded", luckilly is only 1st 4-5 minutes of a 45 minute episode.

You might play around with Defreq (AVISynth plugin).

If you remove all the dup'licate frames traditional noise reduction may help
a little. Some of the frames have a split about third of the height from the bottom
Where the two sections are not aligned.

I've never heard of this show, is this a surviving episode?

That's interesting the article says the entire second series survives.
