Probem rendering NTSC 60i footage to pal

I have video shot with a GoPro Hero HD camera that I want to render to pal.
The video is 1280 x 720 and 60i. I used Neo Scene to transcode the mp4 video to an avi file. I have edited the video and speeded up the footage - first by raising the playback rate to 1.6 and then adding a velocity envelope to initially 147% and later to 300%. The video is going to film festival in Denmark that wants submissions in PAL.
The rendered PAL video has a ghosting effect - each frame of video seems to have a ghosted image of a previous or later frame. I tried super sampling but that doesn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions how to render without getting the ghosting effect?

The footage is 60p not 60i.

To get rid of the ghosting, right click on one of the clips, click on properties, and then "disable resample". After you do one clip you can "control c" on the clip, select the rest of the 60p clips, then "paste the attributes" on them all at once. That is a lot quicker than changing the properties on each clip one by one.

Thanks Laurence for your advice. I tired disabling sampling but I still have the ghosting. Disabling sampling did work on footage shot at 30p and rendered to 25p pal but the problem persists with the 60i footage. Maybe the problem is with 60i video?
