Hi everybody,
I've bought recently the Roxio VHS to DVD 3 Plus in the intention to port a whole lot of my old VHS to MP4. Less exepnsive that rebuy all of it in DVD (specially that some are not on DVD or difficult to find).
It's seems to be working but the colors become greenish or pinky (depending of the shot sometimes it's bairely noticable) in the top of the image. I've google a lot and didn't really find a solution. I've read somwhere that's caused by bad headers or 2-head vcr but my good old Zenith VR2100 is in good shape, the video from it look okay on my TV.
Could it be caused by some colorstriping Macrovision (I've never really have Macrovision problem with this VCR) or problem with stabilisation of the picture or simply my VCR nead a cleaning (even if the picture is nice on my TV) or something else ?
Here's some exemples from one of my VHS I've tested with.

And a video without this problem using the same material (the quality is not great but it was originally the case, some silly french commercial for Manga Video)

What I want to ask you please is how do I get read of this problem. I don't intend to just cut te problematic part of the picture and trying to correct it with color correction on my PC take forever for a result not really great.
Is there a way to fix that via analogue hardware ? What could resolve the problem : a Digital Video Stabilizer or a Time Base Corrector, Proc Amps, colour corrector, repair my old VCR, buying a new one, ... ?
Any suggestion could be of great help (but keep in mind i'm not rich so i'll not buy top of the line professionnel equipment).
Thank you
