Bad-looking ghosting - How do I get rid of it?

So, I'm making an AMV, right? I'm working primarily off FUNi's release of Path to Power, if that means anything. I took each of the 5 main .vob's, used some basic deinterlacing scipt in VDub for each of them (which I'm afraid I don't remember and can't post, as I've deleted the original .vob files in a desperate emergency effort to make some disk space, thus making my .avs's null and void), and have been editing smoothly for a while.

But now as I'm editing and test-rendering little chunks, I'm noticing some weird ghosty artifacts during previewing and playback I'm pretty sure they're avoidable, and have to do with interlacing methods. Alas, n00b as I am, I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. Is there something I can do while rendering or in post-production to get rid it of or lessen the effect, or will I have to re-rip the footage and reproduce my .AVIs differently?

If your working from the DVD, why not Inverse Telecine it? I'd say there's nothing wrong with the ripping or converting. If your De-Interlacing(which I reccomend against if using NTSC DVDs), that will leave ghosting. As there is the duplicate frames floating (litteraly) from the Telicine FUNi do to make a framerate of 23.976fps to 29.97fps, you'll have about six ghost a second. IVTC will make it progressive and restore it to 23fps...

I read how your picture of Goku is all dark on the timeline, and I think that is just how Sony Vegas is doing a preview, because, if it was perfect quality, the speed of it would be slow.

After dealing with a Pokemon DVD with the most worst Telecing pattern in the world, I sort of know what I'm talking about.

I wonder where Mike has dissapeared to... he knows this stuff.

Video's done now, but thanks for the advice. It'll help in the future.

Oh, and Sony Vegas has 23.976fps support, so you don't have to speed it up to 24fps like Premiere.
