You do not have your location filled out nor your computer profile etc. so you need to give more details.

Basically ... are these PAL or NTSC captures?

The short answer though is to use a tool to assist in the conversion ... I suggest using autoGK

BTW the problem has to do with interlacing and you will need to deinterlace but that can be done a variety of ways so that is why I suggest using a tool like autoGK.

Capture was done in NTSC, I assume it was interlaced
(Virtual Dub calls it iterleaved MPEG).
Is there anything I can do from VirtualDubMod to deinterlace?

Well depending on the source you might be able to do an IVTC to get it to progressive 23.976fps ... but that can only be done with some NTSC sources ... chances are you will have to leave it at 29.970fps and deinterlace.

I really think the best way to go about it is to use autoGK as it automates everything and can do an IVTC if it can ... otherwise it will deinterlace. It is very good about how it does this as well as doing an IVTC can be "tricky" plus there are a bunch of different ways to deinterlace and again autoGK does this very well.

autoGK is freeware so I would give it a try.

If you can't IVTC try deinterlacing with Smart Deinterlace (a VirtaulDub filter) using "edge detected interpolate". Oh, and be sure you deinterlace before resizing.
