Well since we are on the subject I have seen this. My sony combo dvd/vcr
needs absolute perfect brand new dvds not to have these artifacts but it
will accept non-standard dvd resolutions while my toshiba dvd palyer needs
720x480 otherwise it will not play correctly but it will read a dvdrw with
fingerprints that has been erased 100 times...

Also if you have a hauppage card and it has dma problems you will get these
artifacts as well. I have had this problem as well. Setting my hauppage card
to work in PIO mode fixes that.
