Tom,
What you are seeing is interlacing artifacts, sometimes called
combing or mice teeth.
This website explains it well.

Another issue, Even if you are outputting to a tv, most of the time you
still have to de-interlace on playback.
most video playback programs can't output fields, and most video cards'
tv out can't sync to the video stream.
so what has to happen, is
captured video ----------------> playback program ------------> video
card ----------------> tv
interlaced
de-interlace
re-interlace
Hope this helps,
- Richard
