Is this normal

I've often notice on the PC that my video seems to have horizontal lines fringing the edges of some objects especially when there is faster motion. It's almost like the jaggies that you can get in stills if anti-aliasing isn't turned on. Is this normal or is there a way to reduce the effect.

It's kind of like 'Marching Ants', right?
I don't know what this is called, but I thought I had a pretty good 3CCD camera, till I put it's phootage next to a better camera's phootage. We were unable to match the shots. We decided not to use the phootage that was shot via my camera because it was really obvious when mixed in with the other phootage. My color looked weak also.

I was told that the only way to get rid of it was to get a better camera. I hope with this thread that we find otherwise.

I believe, correct me if I'm wrong anybody, that this is just you seeing interlaced video on a non-interlaced monitor. When you print to tape (or burn to DVD), you will never see that. Or so I've been told.

Usually, as a rule, I always select the "Reduce interlace flicker" filter on video events. If for no other reason, it makes everything look vaguely filmic.
