Welcome to the wonderful world of interlaced video. Whenever you shoot something in interlaced mode the frame is composed of two interlaced fields which are taken a fraction of a second apart (1/50th in Europe).

That's the effect you're seeing. If you're doing a lot of still frame grabs then you're better shooting progressive if you can.

For the footage already shot you can de-interlace using something like Photoshop ("Filters" "Video" "De-Interlace").

If the interlacing is only evident in one area of the picture you can selectively de-interlace by masking etc rather than reducing the resolution of the whole image (which de-interlacing will do).
