Hi all,
Been lurking here for sometime as I've prepared a project and got heaps of useful info. I'm working on a family project which is using a lot of 30 year old VHS as source footage. I'm capturing with a DeckLink card via a borrowed Edirol 2-channel video mixer for TBC (after a fashion). Results have generally been great but on some tapes I'm noticing these two moving helical bands moving in different directions horizontally across the screen (see attached animated GIF). It doesn't look like ground-loop interference but is it related to the VCR heads? The machine and all tapes were cleaned several weeks before started digitising.
Big question is, is this an artefact that can be mitigated either pre-/post-capture?
Thanks in advance.

Reason: Looks like the forum software messed with the animated GIF so have reattached zipped.
