I’m going from a Sony PD170 video camera to the computer using a 4 to 6 pin IEEE cable. The computer is a Dell Studio XPS 8000, Intel CPU, 2.80 GHz and 64-bit Operating system. The distortion looks like a tracking problem. Kind of looks like watching video through water. Seems to be more noticeable on footage with pans or subject movement, which made me think it may have happened during filming and is something in the camera. But when I play the footage on the camera, it looks fine, no distortion I can see.
