Ok, you mentioned some lines appearing over your video.
How do they look like?
Are they black horizontal lines across your screen about 1 pixel tall and separated by 1 pixel? Like a black grid?
Or are they some flashing green lines at randon position?
Or are they vertical? Or diagonal?
Man, please describe them better.
In the meantime, just guessing, if your problem is the first I described blame on your video source. If you are playing a VHS or VHS-C tape and try to capture at DVD resolution, you must understand you are inputting a non-interlaced unstable video signal to an interlaced, non-timebase corrected encoder. Ah!
If you capture from, let's say, SVHS or Hi8, miniDV, Umatic or Betacam, you are getting an interlaced signal which will fill the black lines. Anyway, the image won't be any stable at all if you don't correct your timebase. That is, simply put, you need to clean your signal. The ADS works very well if you connect its input to a TBC's output. The TBC regenerates your signal and reinterlaces it, so it becomes usable on pro-equipment. Same happens to every video capture card. If you use a TBC you won't have that smeary color effect, dropouts, grain, and glitches we VCD fans have been used to. You can find some very cheap models, usually on a PC card form. An example is DPS's The Kitchen Sync, which you can find used at very good conditions for about $20 dollars on the classifieds or eBay, (it's a dual channel TBC, btw)
