VHS capture glowing lines moving in image?
 

I am trying to figure out what might be causing a couple of Glowing Horizontal Lines moving vertically up my VHS capture.

I have included an example. Both the raw HuffYuv Avi capture and a compressed mp4 file. Both show it pretty clearly.

It isn't something that will correct using tracking or TCB.

I cleaned the heads of my VCR using my Head Cleaning Tape, but may do a deeper cleaning opening it up, but was curious if anyone recognizes this issue.

This was a shrink wrapped pre-recorded professional tape.
Connecting directly from VHS player to Capture Device.

I tried with another professional pre-recorded tape, and I see the same behavior.
It happens for the entire tape.

I am testing out a recently acquired JVC SR-V101US VCR, and trying to verify it.

Definitely looks like a VCR issue.

Any thoughts on what is needed to correct it?

That's typical electrical interference.

It could be picked up by anything:
- the capture computer
- the VCR
- any wires in use

Common causes = microwave, stereo, cell phone, cordless phone
It could be coming from within your home, the neighbors house, or even a mile away from an illegal transmitter.

Never over-clean VCR heads. Those wear and ruin from both use and cleaning.

Thanks.
That looks to be it.
I pulled the vcr away from the rest of my electronic gear and it cleared up.

Speaking of interference, is it a good idea to use a filtered power line conditioner when capturing, as opposed to plugging your recorder and VCR directly into the wall outlet?

Use a UPS, not a wimpy "conditioner" or "surge protector". :congrats:

All my computer and electronic equipment are plugged into UPS’s
So, no issue there.
Thanks
