I have the Dragon Strike VHS tape transfered to DVD, but the picture has an odd problem at the very top, for some reson the picture gets wavy. This is not noticable on a TV as that part of the CRT is inside the TV casing, but on a computer, it's visible. Is there a way to fix this, aside from cropping the darn thing?

Distortion on some lines at the bottom of the picture is head switching noise, and is quite normal and normally cropped out.

I've seen other posts about problems at the top of the picture, and I think it's specific to the tape/player. See if the same effect occurs on different tapes played on the same player, or try this tape in another player.

I've tried the tape in another player and you can just see it there at the top of the screen. So it appears to be the tape.
