Default Pixel Burn

"John" wrote...
I have an issue with my Canon ZR MiniDV camcorder. I have one pixel
fairly central in the middle of the screen that is burnt out.
Unfortunately it is showing in all my footage. Is there any software
that can get rid of this noise afterwards when I am transferring to my
computer and editing?


Which editing software do you use? You'd be better off using a semi-pro or
better editor, with which you can create your own mask or filter to hide the
dead pixel.

If you get rid of it during capture, you'll be introducing another
compression cycle into the workflow, which is not good - the improvement
from getting rid of the pixel will be offset by the overall drop in quality.

Viewers typically see past such distractions, anyway. That's why so many TV
companies get away with their logo "bug" on screen.
