Capturing cartoons

[Riccardom]

I'm trying to capture my daughters' cartoons from VHS PAL and make VCD.
I have a problem with interlaced image.
Capturing at 576 rows with MJPEG Picvideo the video is interlaced but when I convert it with Tmpgenc or Vegas to MPEG1, the frames with fast movements show two images of the subject, in two different points.
If I capture at 288 rows the problem obviously disappears but the quality is poorer.
Do you think I have to:
-capture not interlaced (but from an interlaced source) ?
-deintelace during conversion (but the two images are very distant from each other being the cartoons not bound to real movements so the normal deinterlace methods don't work well) ?
-swap the field order in the encoder ?

Any help would be appreciated.

It's always me.
I made some other tests.
I captured with the DV codec from MC and even if I swap the fields, the double images are always there.
But I also tried with another cartoon, a very old mickey mouse one, and it doesn't show any doubled image.
Is it possible that the double images are a drawing technique to smooth the movements, and the VHS tape doesn't show them, while the capture makes them visible ?

If someone knows please help.

Do a search for lukes video.

He has a very informative site explaining interlacing and how to set up to capture cartoons.
