Why is the filter adding the white lines... My video tapes never did that in the 1990's<br>When i say that... once a video started to do that... you record blank video for the entire tape.  Then clean the heads on the video player and record again for 4 hours... then check another tape... Bin the old one and buy a new video tape.  Because it means the tape is old and degrading. (which could damage your recorder and player. hence the 4 hours recoding and cleaning.)
