Transitions and Issues with Transitions

I have been having an issue with some of my transitions where it appears that ghost frames show up in between frames.

It seems to occur regardless of a strait switch between clips, or if I add a transition such as a fade. One can actually see it occur in two spots (not just the samples) in the video.

Since I started shooting at 30fps (I was shooting at 24p fps) is seemed to help a lot. But is is still not perfect. As I mention in the video, I am shooting 30fps in AVCHD, editing in Premiere 7, and rendering out to H.264 at the recommended 29.97fps. Next, I will try rendering to 30fps, but I am not sure if it will work with YouTube or other video services as they always specify the 29.07fps setting.
