Could you provide a sample image ? The image is an interlaced image and it's constructed by joining two consencutive frames, so that's what can cause some "distortion" in the image with fast-moving objects. The horizontal lines I'm talking about don't have anything to do with the content of the image, they just appear and disappear. The black lines always start from the left edge of the picture and it seems that the pixels from the start of the lines get somehow moved forwards to the center of the same line of the image. (eww, this is difficult to explain :) Mikael
