You’ll need to clarify which graphics you want to change.
If you’re changing graphics in the video, then the new graphics will have to be edited into the existing video (probably covering up the old ones using new, full-opacity graphics, to cover the old ones. You’ll then have to re-encode this again for output to DVD. This can yield lesser quality, depending on the quality of the original, but the average viewer may not be able to tell the difference.
If you’re only changing graphics in the DVD menu, then Jeff is right. You can rip the m2v and ac3/aif/wav files from the original and reuse them with the new disc, without losing quality. I’ve always used VobEdit to rip the disc on a PC. https://www.videohelp.com/software/VobEdit
If you’re on a Mac, I hear MPEGStreamClip will do this. I can’t test it right now, as I’m on a Trashcan Mac with no DVD drive.
Good luck!

The PC is using software to play the DVD, which could be adding the garbage that you’re seeing. I agree with Robert. Try it on a “real” DVD player and see what happens. If the flash frame doesn’t happen, then I’d safely conclude that it’s the software on the PC that can’t handle it.

I’m going to also suggest PluralEyes. Made my life 10x easier on more than one occasion.

I’m using FCPX 10.2.3. As far as I know, that’s part of the interface and can’t be changed. I don’t know if I remember when that wasn’t there. I agree that it does look like wasted space, but until you mentioned it, I haven’t really noticed it.
