Flickering in DVX Footage

Probabely I have been at the wrong forum with my question, since I received no answer:

I am about to finish my short shot with DVX100 BE in 25p. I captured the material with Premiere Pro 2.0 on a progressive timeline and interlaced either. Unfortunately I found some annoying flickering in some of the pictures, see example stream, 3.88 MByte: http://userpage.zedat.fu-berlin.de/~tzuern/flicker.mov (right-click download).

The first it has some flicker at the road curb and the roof of the buildings (left upper part of the picture). The next stream shows much flicker in the roofs, and the third one has some flicker in the yellow lamp and on the edge of the blue of the blue settee.

I figured out that the flicker always occurs when panning horizontally. But should this really happen when filming in progressive mode? If so, is there any way how to eliminate flickering in post? I tried Remove interlace flicker at Premiere, but ithe result was not sattisfying.

Thank you for any help!
 
Was this shot with THIN, MED, or THICK lines (under scene file)? The whole thing looks blocky, it's just obvious around those high contrast edges.
 
It was shot in THIN mode, detail level and detail coring were set to +2. I used THIN mode beacause I learned with Barry Greens book, that it offers you the most possibilities in post.
 
Yeh, it doesn't have the level of detail I would expect in THIN mode. I looks overall very blocky. I wonder if it has something to do with the Preview settings or Render settings in your NLE. Maybe post a raw DV-AVI file of a few frames or a second of video, so we can check it out.
