What are these vertical lines called?
 

Hi all

So I have spent quite a while recently digitising and trying to improve older videos I have. This particular one has these weird vertical lines that go all through the long video and I have no idea what they are or how I can remove them if at all?

Im fairly new to all this but not incompetant and have already run the original noisy video through Neat which didnt seem to do much with the issue of the lines.

Any advice would be most welcome as to how I can tackle them at all?

Many thanks

Personally I am not sure, but I think we'd benefit from knowing what your current video chain is and if you try a different VCR or say a commercially produced tape, do the lines go away?

Hook up the VCR to the TV, If the artifacts are there then it's baked in the tapes.
