Not sure I understand what you're doing.

Using DVDit! to encode? Or just author?

Movie stops half-way through? Sounds more like bad media or bad encode, not authoring or burning. Bad burn/author would not have even played.

Anyway, getting back to TMPGenc settings, read the guide in my signature. http://lordsmurf.hypermart.net/conversion/dvdguide.htm
It has some settings for good DVD MPEG2. Just change 29.97 to 25fps. And resolutions from NTSC to PAL ones.

This next guide is okay too, but I disagree with a few things on it, has some misinformation on a few settings: http://dvd-hq.info/Compression.html
