Title Remote is set in the Properties panel for the Disc. It determines which menu gets activated when the Top Menu or Title Menu button is pressed on a DVD player’s remote control.
Each menu button has a properties sheet in the Properties panel. Button number one is the default button. The default button is the one that is highlighted when the menu appears. Use the Properties panel to change button numbers.

Do you have any kind of USB stick/thumbdrive attached?
Do you have a CD-ROM or CD-RW drive attached to your computer? If so, try disabling it through Device Manager temporarily and see if that helps.
Finally, read all of the posts in this Adobe U2U Forum post

That is not possible with DVD-Video. The DVD-Audio spec allows it, but not DVD-V.
This is not an Encore limitation; it is a limitation of the spec itself.
For an excellent example of how to “simulate” this using audio that is sufficiently repetitive with no large dynamic or tempo changes, please explore the menu system on the “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events” DVD.

[Kevin Emehizer] “I have made my button compositions into Encore buttons from inside of AE”
Everything you have detailed about your workflow seems correct except for the above quote.
Make sure the subpicture layer(s), the ones with (=1), (=2) or (=3), are invisible in AE. Either delete them outright or turn off their visibility.
Use Photoshop or Encore to create your subpicture layers. Remember that they are 2-bit graphics, so no fair using fancy layer styles or effects in PS.

It depends on your project. 4:3 NTSC DVDs use 0.9 and 16:9 NTSC DVDs use 1.2

Some things to try:
1. Try different blank media types – +R to -R or vice versa.
2. Try different blank media brand – Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim are best.
3. Try creating a disc image in Encore, then burning the image to disc using the freeware ImgBurn.
4. Try updating the firmware for the Panasonic players. If they are Panasonic DVD recorders then you have my sympathy. My old Panasonic DVDR sometimes would refuse to play even commercially mastered DVDs, never mind about burned DVDs.

Recompression will always reduce the quality of the clips, sometimes critically.
Unnecessary compression should always be avoided. I would not consider recompression in Premiere just to reverse field order a smart use of a generation of quality. Better to fix it at the source or in the original transcoding.
Exactly how to do that in FCP or Compressor is beyond my ken. I will say that if it is at all possible, your editors should start a new FCP project with the same field order as the source video, then make sure that the transcoding also respects the field order of the original.
I am not surprised that high-motion clips from an interlaced source play back jumpy on a computer. The real test of whether you got the field order correct is when you play back high-motion interlaced content on an interlaced display device. If the motion in that case looks smooth, then you have the correct field order.
