I've imported my video to virtual dub and it seems to be adding these weird horizontal lines to it.

Here is a screen capture from the source:

Here is what it looks like in virtual dub (and what it looks like when I save the AVI):

To really see the affect focus on the green circle in the bottom right corner.

Any thoughts? I'm using DXTORY to record the video and PIX Video Codec.

Whatever virtualdub's using to decode the video is horribly broken
Screenshot of the file information dialog in virtualdub might show something of interest

Pix video codec looks like just a mjpeg codec, so you could be using one of many to decode with

Fields are swapped -- use the field swap filter, or change options on the decoder if you've got a third party MJPEG decoder installed. This is due to a historical ambiguity in the way that fields are marked in MJPEG streams. IIRC, when the Microsoft MJPEG decoder came out, it was backwards to the way that everyone else was marking the fields, and that kind of made a mess.
