I meant to add that the signal from the camera is split: it also goes directly
to the SCART socket on the TV, which shows a much better picture with no
tearing or ghosting.
The picture that Motion displays doesn't seem to be affected by whether or not
the TV is turned on.

How many broken frames do you get in a row?
If it is a single frame - maybe setting minimum_motion_frames = 2 would
help to work around?

Thanks for your reply, Tosiara, but I'm only using one camera anyway. Some of
the configuration was in thread1.conf because I initially set it up to use the
RasPiCam as well.
I've moved the thread settings back into the main config file now, just to make
sure that there's no threading going on. But the problem is just the same.
Regards,
Chris

Your provided picture has resolution 722x578, while your thread1 config has
resolution 352x288, can you explain how that can happen?
And on the picture I can clearly see two different pictures mixed together.
How two different pictures can get into motion if you use single config
with single video source?
