I capture a TV show with my Pinnacle PCTV Deluxe (USB hardware MPEG2). Then I use DVD2AVI and open .d2v with Avisynth DGDecode 1.0.12a filter -> MPEG2Source("c:\capture.mpg").
When I use any deinterlace filter that analyses frame separately, or use SeparateFields() the color of the Even field is very different of Odd field. For example, in the first frame Odd is pink background and Even is red background, but after weave() the background is the same of odd field. Second, third, fourt... frames sometimes repeat the problem exactly, sometimes don't have problem and sometimes the problem is inverted between frames.
The only way to deinterlace is blend frames, like FieldDeinterlace(blend=true) or AlignFields(mode=2).
If I capture from composite and I don't have this problem. Anybody have this experience and have some tip to use Bob in this video?

I had this problem too with my PVR-250. I solved it by installing the latest drivers for the card.

Pinnacrap... The original drivers have the same problem. I wll cry :(

edit:
I don't believe.... I found a way to resolve the problem. I used this script:

ConvertToYUY2()
FixBrokenChromaUpsampling()
ConvertToYV12()
