Often times computers get confused, when you trash the preferences and restart the program, the information that got scrambled is recreated as good as new. No more confusion.

A shot in the dark (Long Shot) on your decklink preferences is it set to automatically Downconvert to SD?

Try this, find a clip on the tape that has the noise and capture it, then capture the same clip with a different name do this untill you have 4 copies of the same clip. See if the noise is in the same location (use the audio waveform setting in the time line). If the location is different then you have a problem with 1-Cables (Firewire and audio), 2-Power (if you are on the same circut as the refridgerator it will create noise) or 3 – your FCP Preferences have gone gonzo. I have seen this problem fixed by trashing the preferences It is quick and easy so I would try that first. Then I would try changing out the cables. The power situation could be tricky but if you are not using a good UPS-Filter for the system that would be a good place to start.

Best of luck

Which 4;2;2 uncompressed setting are you using? Make sure your frame is 720 x 480 and not 720 x 486.
DVD is 720 x 480. if you have 486 lines it will squeeze them together and the results are crappy. You can use compressor to crop 2 lines off the top and 4 off the bottom to solve the problem.
Hope this made sense.

One possibility, What are the dimentions of the AE Comp. IDVD likes to see 720 X 480. 720 X 486 (DI Setting) will cause artifacts.
check your comp settings and if possible go with a 720 X 480 amaphoric codec.
