Thanks for all the good info.

I'm looking forward to your VirtualDub tutorial and the ISO, and I'll be getting the ATI 600 USB card.

My workflow for the comparison of results with and without external TBC was very simple:
I went directly from S-VHS recorder (JVC HR-S7700) to DVD recorder (JVC DR-M10) using a S-VHS cable and recorded a VRO file.
Then I went from S-VHS recorder to TBC to DVD recorder using S-VHS cables again and recorded another VRO file (I didn't change anything else).
According to GSpot both files are MPEG2, I/L, TFF, PAL, 4:3, 25 fps, 50 fields per second, same sar, par, dar...
Then I made a series of jpgs of parts of both VRO files with TMPGEnc Plus 2.5.
The jpgs of the file recorded with external TBC all show interlacing.
None of the jpgs of the file recorded without external TBC show this kind of interlacing.
See the first attachment for an example of the recording with external TBC, the second one for an example of the recording without external TBC.

I made this comparison a couple of more times and with different movies.

From what you said the question is not, why I see interlacing when using the external TBC, but why I don't see it when not using the external TBC.
However, I liked the non interlaced looking version, because I could get nice still images with it.
