Video noise reduction has advanced from stand-alone broadcast quality boxes to almost exclusivelly software fixes. We have several options for each here. However, you must be aware of several things:<div><br></div><div>Noise reduction improvements are mostly a subjective science.</div><div>Some luminance and chrominance noise reduction improvements can be seen on the scope.</div><div>Some programs will have trade-offs. The heavier the noise reduction setting, the more objectionable the undesirable side affects will be i.e. motion smearing and ghosting.</div><div>The more horsepower the computer has, the faster the rendering. But an entire program of sixty minutes can take all night to render on even the fastest box.</div><div><br></div><div>Median video noise reduction can do miracles on herringbone, static and other issues. And every program or standalone box has different ways of doing things. It just depends on how much time and money you have to experiment.</div><div><br></div><div><div><br><div>

<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Over-the-air recordings have those artifacts recorded in; they are part of the recording and cannot be easily removed. Over-the-air herringbone IS RF interference. The only way to deal with RF interference is to filter it before recording takes place. Once the herringbone is recorded onto the tape, it’s part of the recorded video and cannot be separated from the quality video you want. I am not aware of any software that can fix this either. Sorry.</div>
