    Out of curiosity, what's the thin horizontal line we see in a VHS audio spectogram in upper part of both channels?

    Picture please - i can imagine various lines in spectrogram - my first bet will be horizontal deflection frequency (for 50Hz systems this should be 15625Hz)

    Yeah I've seen that too on VHS, both the mono linear track and on the stereo HiFi track. Also seen it on other tape based audio recordings. Not sure what it is.

  5. It looks like the video's horizontal sync pulses leaking into the audio. As pandy pointed out 15625 (625 * 25) Hz for PAL. ~15734 (525 * 29.97) Hz for NTSC.
