What is this line on widescreen films?

What causes the "clear" line right underneath the top bar on widescreen films? On some films, when the image goes through the line, it becomes slightly distorted.

It most likely has to do with compression to 480i/p. You don't see this with 1080p discs.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with edge enhancement.

I always though it was due to the tape/transfer.
