Footage artifacts

For some reason my footage is coming out choppy in some parts and with just large chunks of artifacts...I thought maybe it was just the software having a little trouble and once I output it to a better format it would be ok...But it comes out looking the same. What the hell is going on? I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with my camera, is there anything to suggest?
 
Also, when viewed through the camera's LCD, everything appears to be ok.

It's a z1u and I've tried premiere 2.0 and Vegas 6.
 
I think the way you're importing to your timeline is the problem. Ask this question in the premiere forum section.
 
I wonder if it's because it's native m2t. Most NLEs need a DI (direct/digital intermediate) to edit HDV properly. For Premiere or Vegas, I like CineForm's stuff (www.cineform.com). Only downside, the clip's size goes up from around 10-13 gb for an hour of native m2t to around 40-50 gb for an hour of HD (DI), depending on the quality you set.

Yeah, but that's hard drive space well spent.
