Apparatus is disclosed for processing incoming scanning lines of video information having a nominal bandwidth for use with a bandwidth degrading path, such as magnetic tape. A preprocessor includes a preprocessor comb filter for comb filter processing of the incoming scanning lines to assure the presence of spectral gaps between energy groups in the spectrum of the video information. A fold over circuit folds over high frequency video components of the video information about a predetermined folding frequency to provided folded video. A low pass filter filters the resultant folded video to limit the spectrum thereof to be not greatly in excess of one half of the folding frequency. A postprocessor includes an unfolding circuit for unfolding the signal from the path about the predetermined folding frequency. A postprocessor comb filter processes the unfolded signal to eliminate unwanted alias components therein resulting during the unfolding process and provides a resultant video signal closely approximating the bandwidth and content of the original video information.
