Can AE Repair Glitches in the Same Way VLC Seems To?

I have a selection of clips from a movie ripped from a live feed.  I'm guessing the reception wasn't great, as the picture occassionaly breaks up, resultig in glitches and pixelisation.

If you view the clips on VLC there's magic going on behid the scenes, removing these glitches on the fly.  Is it possible for AE to do the same thing, or am I stuck with a literal interpretation of the clips, pixel for pixel?

Aplogies for my non-technical terms.

    The easiest solution I can think of would be to open up the clip in the VLC player, make it full screen, then use Camtasia or Screenflow to create a screen capture of the movie as it is playing back. If the VLC player will fix the problems, which are probably actually caused by some corrupted B frames that cannot be successfully interpreted by the CPU in AE when it builds complete frames from the MPEG stream, then this will take about 1/10 the time that it would take to figure out how to patch the frames in AE. When you are done just render a visually lossless movie from your screen capture app.

      Ok, thankyou Rick.

      It looks like this might be my best option.

      To add to what Rick suggested, OBS is a free, no-nonsense screen recorder:
