Concerning horizontal line color.mpg the grey lines defect stays/moves across a large number of frames, is difficult to repair it.

Using FixRipsp2() 4 times I was able to obtain this, not satisfying for all frames:

some small result:

Here the script, it's very "heavy, you may want to split the operations using only 2 FixRipsp2() calls at the time:

# interlaced  fields TFF
# problem: horizontal stripe
# solution: repair with FixRipsp2

# FFmpegSource
loadPlugin("C:\Users\giuse\Documents\VideoSoft\MPEG\AviSynth\extFilters\ffms2_87bae19\x86\ffms2.dll")

#video_org=FFmpegSource2("horizontal line color.mpg")
#video_org_trim=video_org.trim(10,100)

video_org_trim=AviSource("1_rep_sequence.avi").convertToYV16()

# plugins directory
plugins_dir="C:\Users\giuse\Documents\VideoSoft\MPEG\AviSynth\extFilters\"

	# FixRipsp2
Import(plugins_dir + "FixRipsp2.avs")
	# RgTools
loadPlugin(plugins_dir + "RgTools-v1.0\x86\RgTools.dll")
	 # DePanEstimate
loadPlugin(plugins_dir + "depanestimate110\DePanEstimate.dll")
	# FFTW
loadPlugin(plugins_dir + "LoadDll\LoadDll.dll")
loadDll(plugins_dir + "fftw3_20040130\fftw3win32mingw\fftw3.dll")
	# DePan

	# MVTools

### separate fields
video_org_trim_sep=video_org_trim.AssumeTFF().separateFields()

### select even fields
video_org_trim_sep_even=SelectEven(video_org_trim_sep)

### select odd fields
video_org_trim_sep_odd=SelectOdd(video_org_trim_sep)

### repair
video_org_trim_sep_even_rep=video_org_trim_sep_even.FixRipsp2().FixRipsp2().FixRipsp2().FixRipsp2()
video_org_trim_sep_odd_rep=video_org_trim_sep_odd.FixRipsp2().FixRipsp2().FixRipsp2().FixRipsp2()

### interleave
video_interleaved=interleave(video_org_trim_sep_even_rep,video_org_trim_sep_odd_rep)

### weave
video_restored=video_interleaved.Weave()

return(video_restored)

For a similar problem on a file captured by a friend in the past, we also experimented a frame by frame restoration with Photoshop, where you can rebuild the corrupted lines from adjacent lines or lines from previous frames. Result was better but still not excellent. The first frames were good, but in the latest the proportions in the body of the girl and the table were altered. If you switch fast between the 2 images you will see. More work would have been required!

good result:

bad result:

Not really, I did not solve the problem.

About the bad frames in the third video a quick fix is replacing them with previous or following frames (very basic AviSynth script). Some frames have bad color, must be fixed with restoration.

loadPlugin("C:\Users\giuse\Documents\VideoSoft\MPEG\AviSynth\extFilters\ffms2_87bae19\x86\ffms2.dll")

video_org=FFmpegSource2("bad frames.mp4")

video_frames_replaced=video_org.trim(0,34)++video_org.trim(34,34)++video_org.trim(36,37)++video_org.trim(37,37)\
                    ++video_org.trim(39,116)++video_org.trim(116,116)++video_org.trim(118,129)\
		    ++video_org.trim(129,129)++video_org.trim(131,209)++video_org.trim(209,209)\
		    ++video_org.trim(211,303)++video_org.trim(303,303)++video_org.trim(305,316)\
		    ++video_org.trim(316,316)++video_org.trim(319,319)++video_org.trim(319,409)\
		    ++video_org.trim(409,409)++video_org.trim(412,412)++video_org.trim(412,492)\
		    ++video_org.trim(492,492)++video_org.trim(494,585)++video_org.trim(585,585)\
		    ++video_org.trim(587,597)\
		    ++video_org.trim(597,597)++video_org.trim(599,599)++video_org.trim(599,599)\
		    ++video_org.trim(601,610)

return(video_frames_replaced)

Result here: video_restored.mp4
