You can use QT Player for this. Make a black picture of the same width 
in a drawing application, open it as a movie in QT Player.
Open your movie and layer it on top of the black frame. Add a vertical 
offset to the movie. If you movie is interlaced check deinterlace. 
Export to DV.

For better quality, try JES Deinterlacer (free).
