The original capture may be untouched; but if the brightness/contrast were set wrong when the capture was recorded, it won't truly represent the source laserdisc. If you play the disc itself on a properly calibrated TV, are these lines visible then? Some adjustment may be required to get a good "grey scale" - if the contrast is set too high then you lose the division between very light grey and white.
