Interlacing on ie1394 firewire Camcorder

[Don Bloomfield_]

Has anyone else experienced bad interlacing problems using a live feed from a dvcam? I'm using a P4 1.8GHz lappy with radeon 7500 mobile card, and a JVC Camera (giving input happily with no film in) Looks good, except for the picture becomes a weird interlacing nightmare. Looks like it takes field 1 for the first 10 or so lines in 320x240 then field 2 for 10 or so, then field 1 again, and it looks like a weird horrible interlacing effect Not what I want for smooth video on a projector.

Can someone give some advice please?
