Video looks choppy on DVD
I filmed a wedding with the Cnanon GH10 in 24fps and 1080p cinema mode.
I have edited the project and finished, I render it as MEPG2 in 23.976fps however when I watch it on a DVD some of the video looks kind of choppy especially when it cuts between frames. Is there a reason for this? should I be using a different fps ? or what other info do you need? -

What are your render settings?
What burn speed did you use? Are you using a fast burn speed with a cheap DVD player? You may be seeing the DVD player’s error correction kick in.

Burn is is set to auto… and it’s not a cheap burner.. I have tried it using Vegas Pro DVDA and Nero Pro DVD Burner

Does your mpeg2 video play smoothly on your system if you bring it back into Premiere and watch the source monitor?
If the answer is yes then:
Check to see if you exported a low enough bitrate for the video to be DVD standard.
Check to see if your DVD authoring programs are recognizing that your 23.976 video needs to use pull down (dvd player does reverse pulldown). Every NTSC is truly 29.97 so your authoring programs may be adding frames in some kind of preconversion or your DVD player may not like 23.976 material so…
Check in another DVD player.
Burn disc at a lower speed.
Burn a disc from the middle of the spindle to minimize using one that may be affected by light rot.

hmmm should i render it as 29.97 or 30fps?

If you shot 23.98, then you should edit 23.98, and create a DVD file at 23.98.
If you encode your mpeg2 file at to high of a data rate, some DVD players will stutter.
Unless you’re talking about motion stutter which can be seen with 23.98 footage (as with fast pans or quick movement) and that has nothing to do with the DVD player.

so what does motion stutter have to do with and how can I correct it?

[Paul Gilmore] “so what does motion stutter have to do with and how can I correct it?”
I believe Chris was asking whether the issue related to playback or properties inherent to the video clip. There is no use troubleshooting the disc burner if the stuttering is caused by a quick pan played at low FPS; you would need to edit the footage.
