Greg.
Like interlaced for a TV picture for instance. Some process download half of the sub (every second scan line) then go through the rest of the remaining lines. Some others just stream the pixels in a continuous stream from left to right in one long uninterrupted data string. This depends on camera drivers implementation, hardware type and capture software used. Some implementations are good and can buffer the stream, some others (like my old QHY8) don't buffer that well and you end up with missing lines or horizontal artefacts in your downloaded sub.

Sorry - cross post. Ray's talking about something else. Still valid explanation.
