short, white moving lines on top of my tv rip

[r3bol]

I just ripped something from tv and have these short, white moving lines on top of my tv rip. I tried to remove them by using a few of the filters in Avidemux, but it didn't work.
The filters I tried were Crop, Add black borders and Blacken borders.

Any hints how I can remove these from my rip with Avidemux?

Post a sample! A screenshot should be sufficient in this case.

(If the "problem" is only on the top of the video, then you can of course crop away that party with Avidemux' "Crop" filter, while adding "Black Borders" isn't helpful)

Sounds like analog line 21 closed captioning. As the Lord says, crop it.

Here is the screenshot. The Crop filter doesn't seem to work at all.

Then you're doing something wrong. That stuff is easy to crop away. Now maybe a video sample, if you can't figure it out yourself. And together with the sample, what script are you using? Or doesn't AviDemux show you the script? I don't know as I don't use it.

Seems this was my problem...

That are the "hidden lines", that carry the Teletext, CC for amis, copy protections and so on. They won't appear if the capture was correctly done.

Unless the station airing the program is still using primarily analog equipment, and has a fault somewhere within their setup that shifts the image down. I've seen this happen on local TV quite a bit (especially at smaller stations where the equipment is out of date and the funding is not available to hire a proper engineering department). If the material is true interlaced material, I recommend cropping the lines out and replacing them with the same amount of black lines (to avoid blending part or all of the scanlines together and screwing up the interlacing), unless you're dead-set on deinterlacing regardless of the source. Make sure you re-add the black lines at the top of the image, or add all but an even number of lines at the top and the remainder at the bottom (this ensures that field dominance is not messed up, of course if the device you are targeting requires the opposite field dominance then you would need to make that an odd number instead).
