Is there a way to make VHS copies that don't have crawling lines? Are there profesional duplicators or some type of pre amp that I need to use to pre-master for duplication to avoid this. Or is this problem something that needs to be addressed dureing the shoot?

Thanks for the help!

You need a deck that has something called a flying erase head... consumer VCR's won't suffice. Professional duplicators will indeed avoid this problem. It's not something you can address during the shoot. Hope this helps,
