I'm in dvd studio pro hell! I rendered separate vid/audio files by using the dvd video stream template listed under mpeg2. I transfered the audio to aiff and they converted it to ac3 and that works fine. For the vid, I clicked on custom (mpeg2/separate video stream) and changed the vbr setting to 6,500,00 for max, 5,500,000 for ave, and 196,000 for min to keep the file within standard dvd limits.

I am getting a really bad stuttering/jumpy result in spots when we play the m2v file on an ntsc monitor from the Mac hard drive and from the dvd they made me. It looks great on the computer monitor though. They said I have an interlacing problem, but here's where I'm confused. I did a test with a friend, who has dvdit, months ago where we used mpeg2's, created from the same avi files that I'm using to make the m2v's, and imported them into dvdit and made a test dvd and it played great on my tv. There was no jumpiness at all. So, why would the m2v files have interlacing problems, but not the mpeg2's that I made? Should I try deinterlacing the m2v's? I'm using lower field first for the field order and all the other stock settings with the exception of the vbr that they asked me to change. We had the same problem with the stock vbr settings. Thoughts?

I have VV3c, p3 1 ghz with 512 ram, win 2000.

They have dual proc. Mac with OS 9.2.2 with DVD Studio Pro version 1.1 with no updates instauled if that helps.
