Been a while since I posted anything here, but I come asking for some advice (not necessarily a solution, as my boss doesn't seem to have the eyes for this) on a particular analogue artifact.
Here's a sample clip (in its "original" DV form): http://www.yousendit.com/download/UmNJdFdYQVNrWTljR0E9PQ
The following was shot on Betacam SP and digitized to standard NTSC DV, there's no further encoding on the clip. Anyway, if you look to the speaker's left arm, there are stray black lines flickering off of her. I've noticed this for years now (and didn't care, as it seemed to be a shortcoming of analogue), but my coworker was curious, so I figured I'd ask around. It's not rainbowing, dotcrawl, noise (at least the way we usually perceive), or some banding of any kind, so I'm not even sure how I could possibly treat this, be in it AVISynth, or before even capturing the video.
I suspect this is either inevitably analogue's fault, or perhaps the recorder (the camera itself) it dirty in some way. Any advice is appreciated!
