If you are capturing from VHS you do not need to capture any higher than 352 By 288 pixels, because of the nature of the VHS resolution, theres no point of capturing more horizontal lines than there actually are, my advice for getting the best quality is to either capture at 352*288 or 640*480 Then resize to 352*288, and if you have enough Hard Disk space (and a Damn fast one too!!) then always capture in AVI first, then use a the best encoder possible at the highest setting such as a two pass encoding process.
Capturing in AVI is not always possible because of two reasons
(1) Eats your Hard Drive, (it takes up huge space) example 352*288 sized video clip of one minute will take up aprox 222MB!!
(2)Theres a 2 GB limit on AVI file!!
My personal view as to why your getting these interlaced pictures is because your capturing two higer resolution, capturing at higher does not mean better quality, its all about the source quality remember the Universal Rules:
Garbage in Garbage Out!!
And one more thing, use Half D1 mode for your VHS to Converted file before buring the DVD,
and if your from the UK please dont bother capturing other than 25FPS (Its the PAL standard)
Hope this has helped
If you have lots to cature (ie in excess of 3 hours per VHS) then consider capturing to mpeg in realtime, trying using Ulead VideoStudio 6 (highly recommended for this job)If you play around with this software you will find that it will do the whole VHS to DVD process, with out the need for external software, it will even author DVD for you will menus etc..
Hope this has helped !!, please reply back!
