Though playing the vid that may just be a distraction.

Looks like the early part is duped but the later part mostly isn't.

Maybe it's intended by the camera eg. the early part is lower motion or 
lower light level.

Either could be a factor - you could experiment taking other scenes 
varying motion or light levels and see if there is a pattern.
