Look at the bumper, bottom-most corner. There is still interlacing in the "no TBC" image. Indeed, it appears to be a field offset, and that's it.

This can vary capture-to-capture, too. It's a thorn in my side, whenever I do separate captures and try to re-merge in the middle of a scene.

If you want nice still images without interlace, use the built-in deinterlacer filter (Yadif option) in VirtualDub 1.9.7 or above, and then copy a still from output frame to clipboard (VIDEO > menu), and that should get you an image. It may still take some hunting across a few frames for a perfect quality still, but that will get you one.
