If there is such a plug-in I could have used it when a client brought us
some tapes from his poor old going by the wayside VX1000! Same sort of stuff
all along the edge intermittently. Looked really bad and we could not fix
the problem no matter what we tried. Unless someone else knows of a magic
plug-in for this my bet is you will have to get out your checkbook and write
the bullet.
