You may just need to force the correct field order.

Try avisource(...).assumebff().separtatefields() and examine the motion. Does it go backwards at all? If so try avisource(...).assumetff().separatefields().

That did it! Thanks for the advice. I'd have never figured that out on my own.

I'm done with side 1 now. I'd like to encode a few minutes worth and post it to get some opinions. Does anybody know where I could post a raw file or should i just upload it to vimeo?

I'm only using the composite tooted average now because I was seeing too much dot crawl in the s-video captures. It looks like this is going to be raw other than the toot and ivtc.
