    I was able to get my hands on a Panasonic AG-1980 and for the most part it seems to be working OK except I've noticed some distortion during playback. When the playing a video in Virtual Dub the bottom of the screen has some horizontal lines. It doesn't matter what tape I play old, newer, home video, commercial the distortion is always there.

    So I was wonder if anyone had a good solution for this. I'm guessing the VCR needs cleaning or the heads need to be realigned...or something. I've never cleaned or repaired a VCR before.

    Attached is a screen shot. You'll notice at the bottom of the video there are some video lines that are offset to the right.

    Thanks for your input!

    Overscan....it won't be on the final video.

    Consider it a way the video and the VCR talk to one another, nothing else.

    You won't see it in a DVD authoring program's output (as a DVD).
