The hardware unit is a Sharp DV-RW550 - it's only a year or so old

have any other VCR's so what it sounds like is I"m going to have to
buy something to get this project going. I'm glad I asked now because
I had already done about a dozen DVDs this way and most of them are
having the problem.

Any recommendations on a VCR?

Mike is right. This is something you can't 'fix in post'

Does your VHS playback machine not have tracking contols? If not
find one that does. It might just solve all your problems although
if the picture is actually rolling you should first check the
vertical hold control on your monitor. That might be all that's
wrong.

see if you can find one with a tbc (time base corrector) as well. maybe
a s/h studio model from a duplication facility. they shouldn't cost too
much and they might have better output options, s video, even component
on some of the higher end models.

Thank you for the recommendation. I've posted to the Wants ads on
Craigslist.com - let's hope something pops up.

Regarding Ken's comments - yes the Sharp website is messed up. I
called Sharp and spoke with their tech support - they apologized for
the problem with their website and offered that they no longer sell
these devices and so they are not likely to fix the navigation problem
with the website. They couldn't even supply me with a user manual....
