Motion Artifact "Lines" in Captures

[pcdweller]

My captures on Debut are suddenly showing motion artifacts (this was never a problem before). It appears small in the initial capture, but the lines become very broad & distorted when rendered into a DVD.

 

The settings haven't changed from the time of my last good capture.

 

I set the field order as "Upper Field First" in the DVD render. As far as I can tell, Debut has no field order settings. Resolution is 640x480 (though I've tried others but no change), NTSC, bitrates: 2500 average/4000 max.

 

I've removed & reinstalled the software, done system restores, tried different video capture devices, but no change. I've searched online for possible solutions but haven't found anything yet.

 

(The attached images show the artifacting in the original capture & the rendered DVD.)

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks.

To Update this: this was a matter of some new software that accompanied a different video capture device resetting some of the parameters that were previously set on Debut, and had to be located and reset. "Deinterlacing" was the key setting for solving this.
