Hi,

I think you have interlace sync issues. If you are running MythTv with 
25Hz output frame rate the 50Hz fields can be either in sync or out of
sync. When there is motion in the picture all is smooth when the fields
are in sync. If they go out of sync you will ge a lot of motion jitter.
If you are able to set "Bob" de-interlacing, this may fix the issue for
you.
