Page 1 of Encore 450 Region 1 playback

Does anyone have problems with blurry drag lines coming across the screen when the scene changes on Region 1 dvds?

It happens on the only 2 region 1`s I`ve got, Clerks and Chasing Amy. It`s usually on the extra scenes/trailers and not the main movie. I know they were both transfered from LaserDisc and it could be this.

Also when playing the films, it seems that a bit of the top section of the scene is missing. It`s hardly noticable, but I`m a big fan of the films and have seen them a number of times. It just be the LaserDisc transfer to DVD or maybe something else.
