Solid black bar on right side of frame

[sammail]

While capturing a VHS of home movies that were professionally transfered from 8mm about 5 to 6 years ago, I get a solid black 'bar' on the entire right hand side of the frame while played through the capture device. It covers about 5 to 10% of the picture. I am using the adaptec avc-2200 for the capture and have successfully captured many hours of video with this device. The VHS in question plays ok straight to TV (no 'bar'), although the picture is some what degraded and washed out when both played straight from the VCR to TV and on the capture. This 'bar' is also present when viewing the captured mpeg file. I have also tried this capture through two different VCRs, a Sharp and a Toshiba, with the same results on both.
Would this be a copy protection kicking in? The remainder of the picture's quality looks the same on the capture and when viewed straight from the VCR on TV (no flickering or extreme brightness/darkness, but as I said, the pictures are washed out as a whole).
I have searched many of the posts here, but have not see anything that exactly describes this problem. Would routing the video through a Sema stabilizer type device remove this 'bar'? I was thinking about getting the Sema ct-2 to improve the picture quality, but I also wanted to see if anyone thought this would also work to remove this black 'bar', or if I should do something else to correct this problem.
Thanks,

There nothing you can about that all hardware MPEG encoder have very some problem becuase can't do pre-corp and re-size of the image before encoding the video in to MPEG format but when you build a DVD and play it back on reg TV set you not see thoses black bar becuases the TV dose over scan and so no it not copy protection.

Was this 8mm tape or film? It seems this tape was dubbed with a TBC or proc amp that replaced the horizontal sync pulse with one that's too far to the right. This would force the picture to the left, crop off the left side of the frame and leave a black bar on the right.

Nothing you can do about it now unless you redub the original.

This was 8mm film to VHS.
I build the DVD as SHS suggested, and the 'bar' is mostly unnoticable on the TV, it is more pronounced when viewed on the PC.
This will be acceptable enough for now, until finances allow me to transfer these films in a little better quality.
Thanks for your help SHS and edDV.
