Try a program like VirtualDub, VisiCrop, VidCrop, Watermark Master, etc. to crop the line off the bottom.

What format are the videos in? (.mpeg, .avi etc...)

sorry for so late it is AVI...and how you crop in VDUB?

[Squadman]

Okay well can you try importing the video as MPEG? I've tried converting my sony Handycam videos to AVI in the past, although its worked sometimes, the quality has never been that great. What method are you using to import the videos from the camera onto the computer?
PS: I don't use VDub so I'm not sure, sorry

To crop in VDub:

Step One: Import the video into VirtualDub by either
1) Drag and dropping the video in the program
or
2) Going to File > Open video file... (or use the hotkey Ctrl+O) and find the video

Step Two: Add a Video Filter
1) Go to Video > Filters... (or use the hotkey Ctrl+F)
2) You will see the Cropping... button near the bottom but you can't select it for now. To make it selectable, you must add a filter. To do this click the Add... button. A list of filters will show up. If you don't want to change the look of the video just add the brightness/contrast filter and change nothing (keep brightness at normal and contrast at 100%). When you return to the filters menu, the cropping button can now be selected.

Step Three: Cropping
1) Now click on the Cropping... button near the bottom of the filters menu (it is the second to last button on the bottom).
2) The Filter input cropping window will appear with four offsets: X1 (the left side of the video from your perspective), X2 (the right side), Y1 (the top), (Y2 the bottom). To crop simply increase the value of the offsets; doing so will eliminate a portion of the video from the directions of the offsets. VirtualDub will show the preview of the video in the same window.

Step Four: Saving
Once you are satisfied, it is time to save the video. By default the video will be uncompressed; meaning the size of the video will be huge. To shrink the size, you will need to compress the video.
1) Go to Video > Compression (or use the hot key Ctrl+P)
2) Select the video compression you want. Mess around with the options if you want. When you are done, click OK.
3) Now it's time to save the video. Go to File > Save as AVI... (or use the hotkey F7). Name your video, choose the destination and click Save.
