hi, I've been pushing the wonders of the "free"
software suite "avisnyth" on this list, for more
than a minute. there's is a plug-in called "descratch"
that might be able to deal w/ this. here's a link
and a description:

This plugin removes vertical scratches from films. Also it can be used for
removing of horizontal noise lines such as drop-outs from analog VHS
captures (after image rotation).
