There IS such a plug-in, and you can download it online. It is not a
magic wand, but may help. It's only ten dollars! I think however it's
only for macs:

I would try to play the tape out thru a DVCPro deck, it has the widest
track pitch of all the DV compatible decks, thus your best chance to
recover all the signal.
If this plug-in can't work for you, because you'er not on macs, you
will need to look at one of the compositor softwares like Combustion,
shake, etc. or a paint program like matador or Aura. You'll be cloning
picture information from adjacent pixels, or using a vector mask to
take nearby pixels, duplicate them and apply them on top of the damaged
bit of image, like the clone stamp tool in photoshop does for stills.
it's painstaing work. Another way to try this without the compositor
is to freeze-frame the last good frame before the dropout, output that
as a still, then re-import it and use wipe patterns or masks to layer
it like apatch over the bad part of each frame.
best of luck. Do check out the digital heaven site, because these
plug-ins are amazingly priced and perform as advertized. I am a happy
customer.
