Hello,

I am capturing from a sony DV camcorder via a firewire card (into premiere) ... I have done so successfully for quite some time ... Suddenly for some reason I now have AVI files that have an interlaced problem ... this problem is not noticable when played back from the timeline of Premiere ... only when viewed on the TV or after a file has been encoded via Tmpgenc (encoding is definitely not the problem).

When there is motion on the video the fileds appear to do some strange things ... it is like a flicker or a stutter. Still images are fine ... it is definitely motion related.

I have checked that it is Field B first (DV) ...I tried reversing the field order ... I even tried encoding via field A. The only thing that prevents it is deinterlacing with virtualdub ... blending the fields effectively solves the problem.

I do not want to deinterlace ... and indeed I have not needed to in the past (output is for DVD).

Obviously the field order is the probelm ... I have tried frameserving from premiere with all different options (A, B , Neither) and encoding with Tmpgenc with all different options ... and still has the same problem ... I can only guess that the actual capture is to blame ... but I have not changed the capture settings either.

Strangely it is not every capture .... It will do it once then not for a while ... then it will do it 6 times in a row.

There have been no major changes to my operating system.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
