Well, to describe it more technical lingo, it's like each frame leaves artifacts behind that should not be on the next frames. It winds up looking like frames are "smeared" together.

Maybe the lack of a frame to encode and add to the stream is confusing the encoder. > It could be > interlace problems, No, I know what they look like and it's definately not interlace problems.
