need help with video framerates

[dcapp1]

Hi. Recently I watched a movie on my standalone dvd player, and it played fine. When I played it on another dvd player it kept jumping. I know what formats work because I've played all of them without a hitch. My question is could it be the framerate. The movie is 23.976 fps, and thats what Im encoding it as? Thanks for all of your help

JUMPING?

You mean the picture shakes?

If you played fine on your standalone but not another I would suspect that you are trying to play either a SVCD or xVCD, and that this disc has trouble on your friends player because it was encoded a bitrate that exceeds his max supported bitrate. That could cause the jumping your discribe.

If so then there's really nothing you can do (save re-encode at a lower bitrate).

It could also be that your friend's DVD player doesn't support (S)VCD.

Its not really my friends dvd. It is mine, but in a different room. Like I said before it had no trouble before playing xsvcds at 3000kbps. The movie Iam trying to watch is only encoded at 950 so that I can fit it on two cdrs.
