Annoying lines at top of my footage

I've been following VicBonds dvd ripping guide to a T, but keep having this problem with my clips. It seems that every time there is a major change in the video there is one frame with an annoying white line at the top of the footage. I have a few pics as examples, please tell me if you know what I can do to fix this.

BTW the script I'm using is right out of the guide (I'm new to this if you can't tell.)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
MPEG2Source("F:\DVD2AVI\evaclip1.d2v", idct=5, CPU=4, iPP=true)
Telecide(post=4, order=1, guide=1, blend=true)
Decimate(quality=3)

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u94/ ... elpme1.jpg (frame with the line)

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u94/ ... elpme2.jpg (next frame the line is gone)

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u94/ ... elpme3.jpg (Another frame with the line)

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u94/ ... elpme4.jpg (Next frame without)

Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks.

Crop(0, 6, -0, -0)
should be close. play with it. may want to crop off the black boarders in the sides as well

add on LanczosResize(640, 480) after all of the cropping

It's quite common with cel anime. Usually I find that the frame after it is a duplicate (as near as dammit), without the lines at the top, in which case you can effectively duplicate that frame and replace the ugly one.

It's not something worth cropping, just edit around those odd frames, then it saves the aspect ratio getting messed up.
