Right-click on the event that holds the picture and enable Reduce Interlace Flicker. If that isn't enough, add a Gaussian Blur, vertical only at about 0.002.

Are you by chance watching your DVDs on an old 4:3 CRT?

Oh... I almost forgot... if you are using all still images then render to DVD Architect 24p (progressive) and eliminate the interlacing all together.

"Jittery" can describe a lot of different things, so I can't provide specific suggestions. However, this old post may help:

Still photo flicker reduction

Wow... thank you all. Just one other note. These pictures are actually screen shots of a website with text on the pictures. (So... low rez). That text was crazy!!!! vibrating and killing your eyes to watch. Played around with a bunch of the suggested settings you all suggested here and by far... the biggest difference was when I rendered "progressive scan." Wow... flicker gone.

Also went through the tedious task of going in to properties of each photo and checking "reduce interlace flicker." That helped a little but was still pretty jittery until I rendered progressive scan.

I read about these "scripts" that can supposedly change all my photos to "reduce interlace flicker" at once. Do I need a special program to run that? I've never used one of these scripts and don't know where to find such a thing.
Any suggestions?

I'm using Vegas pro 9.

You should be able to copy the first clip/pic. Then right click on the second one, 'select events to end' then right click, paste properties.
