thats combing. I assume your seeing a 3:2 pattern? (3 progressive, 2 interlaced, etc etc etc)? this is called telecine and an IVTC filter would be required to get rid of it, or just deinterlace the combed frames. You end up with a 30fps still but with 1 repeated frame (due to deinterlacing the combed frames). This is most likeyl what is causing your choppiness as well. > I've tried various combinations of options and de-interlacing > filters.
