Jitter playback on DVD player

[Mylo]

I done some video in AE, short 30 second clip.

Rendered it to AVI without any compression, and then converted it via TMPGEnc to MPEG-1 format, constant bitrate on 7000 kbps.

And when I playback it on DVD player it skips, the format is fine, aspect ratio is fine, but the playback is jitterish, as if i it was made at 12 fps.

3 questions

1 - is the bitrate too high for smooth DVD playback?
2 - would it be any better if I converted it to VOB?
3 - should I convert it to MPEG-2 format which offers me interlace option (this one was rendered progressive)

For standalone DVD player playback, mpeg1 bitrate is far to high. The DVD specs say max 1280 kbps.

I would convert to mpeg2 which should also allow to use progressive source. Then 7000 kbps is fine.

I have made MPEG2 file (.mpg) and copied it to USB drive. When playing it in my standalone DVD player, the video jitters (looks like slow motion with very low fps). I have tried with 6000kbps, 3400kbps, 2000kbps. But the result is same. Even with 2000kbps video quality is blocky also.

What is wrong? I am using Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate.

Many players will not play "bare" MPG files properly -- it's not required by the spec. Author a movie DVD with IFO/VOB files.

Other possible problems if your DVD player can play bare MPG files:

The player may only have a USB 1.1 port, not USB 2.0. So it simple can't read data off the drive fast enough. Write it to a DVD instead.

The drive itself might be too slow. This isn't likely with a hard drive but some flash drives have very low read/write speeds.
