If it is in the same location on each frame, then it MAY be dust on the filter block covering the sensor.

CCD sensors attract dust where as CMOS doesn't. Use a dust blower to clear your sensor in a dust free room.

...and if the blowing doesn't do the trick, it's probably best to send it off and have it professionally cleaned by a trained technician. The anti-aliasing filter is rather delicate and scratches easily.

You can check your cameras manual for more specifics on clearing the CCD.
