hello I am shooting snowboarding on a new HVX in 720p/30pn
I filmed 20 hours on the camera with no problems at all. Now, recently my footage has started looking really strange. The only thing that looks smooth is what is in the centre of the frame. Everything else has serious ghost trailing or sillouetted movement around the subject's body. Especially during higher action shots. Its not a blur like a shutter speed issue
I have tried all kinds of different shutter speeds and that has not helped. It cannot be the cold, I have filmed for two years in much colder weather with the DVX in the past
Has anybody else experienced this?

Can you post a clip or frame showing this issue? That may help in the diagnosis.

This can happen with an incorrect pulldown removal or a bad transcode to another codec. What is your post workflow?

Unfortunately I cannot post a clip because I don't have a website or something that i could use to post it on. I could, however email something to you..? Could I do that?
im seeing this problem actually when I play the camera directly through the compontent out cables into the tv, so its not in post.
