Default Re: interlacing problems with capture

I have a PAL camera(sony DCR-PC5E) and have the settings in Premier on the same PAL settings. A solution to this problem would make me sleep properly once again!

Hmm..not quite sure what you consider the problem to be here. You are viewing interlaced footage on a non-interlaced monitor. This will show as jagged edges, particularly where there is a lot of movement. However, when you export this to DVD and play it back on a TV set it will not be noticeable. If you intend to export it to a PC file format of some description then you will need to deinterlace the captured footage. I am not a Premiere user and so can't help you with the settings but am sure someone who can will pop along.
