OK, need a little clarification first.

 

-If you render a Frame, say to a TGA file, is it OK or does it have the distortion?

 

-The image you attached is captured from the AVI file you made?

 

Assuming that the TGA render is OK and the attached image is from the AVI, my first guess would be Compression Artifact from the Codec you are using to make the AVI. There are many Codec's and each has it's strengths and weaknesses.

 

For the BEST quality there are Uncompressed Codecs, but the files end up being too large in most cases. You would however, want to use this type if you were planning on editing or manipulating the AVI in some kind of post processing, because you will end up with more distortion/artifacts after processing.

 

Many Codecs also have parameters that can be set to help control the Quality versus Size.

 

I'm not an expert on what Codec or what parameter settings to use, there have been a number of posts with suggestions.
