Basically, I am having the same problem as this guy:
http://forums.cnet.com/5208-13973_102-0.html?threadID=365199
But there's not much help there, so I thought I'd post a thread here.
There is no software I can find that will encode this without problems, and only Windows Media Player play it OK, and the display on the camera is fine, but any other software makes many blocks and artefacts. I have tried many methods and codecs to work with this - Sony Vegas, Avidemux, XMedia Recode, Mplayer, VLC etc.
I am using Win7 home x64, 4Gb RAM, all updates, fast AMD quad core processor, also tried on Win XP etc.
Is there some way of "fixing" the interlace on these files before editing them? Even the "cut and copy without transcode" mode of Avidemux can't handle it.
Here's 5Mb of example file, raw from the camcorder, untouched.

Play in Windows Media Player and it looks fine.
Anything else, or try and edit in Sony Vegas...hopeless.
No reply from Samsung to help request.

I know next to nothing about this type of file so I cannot be of much help - but I opened the file in VirtualDub and AviDemux using an AviSynth script.
In the script, any line beginning with # can be omitted.
It's a text file saved with an .avs extension.
Haali Media Splitter and AviSynth are installed in my PC.
To open in VirtualDub, drag the .avs file into VirtualDub.
To load in AviDemux, locate and run AvsProxy_GUI (in the Avidemux installed location).
Browse to the .avs file then click 'Create Proxy'
#script starts
DirectShowSource("C:\Documents and Settings\Superuser\Desktop\small.mp4")
#change the above file path as required
#uses installed AviSynth

# installed Haali Media Splitter

#ends

Do you think this is any better than what you get with your players(I used VLC and played it back even at 1/3 speed and didn't see artifacts)?:

My earlier post referring to Avsproxy in Avidemux should be disregarded:Avsproxy doesn't support audio.

Hello again;
thanks for the suggestions. I tried various things, but with the help of Mulder of Avidemux fame, I was able to try a new version:
The installer said version 2.5.2.5660
On the official site, I thought I was going to have to make my own build, but some quick googling found this:
http://avidemux.razorbyte.com.au/
I downloaded the R5830 and it worked perfectly! At last!
