DVD-Lab discs play back jerky on Playstation 2

I originally posted in the players section, but after some more testing I believe the issue to be with authoring.

It's as if the PS2 is thinking the video is 23.97 fps or something. The reason I suspect this is when I play the video in slow motion, I can see it play 12 frames and then skip 3, and repeat. What this does is cause a slight jump in the video twice a second. And rather than ~30fps, it's showing ~24 and skipping the other 6.

I made a test disc with the following video sources, and every single one exhibited the same problems:

• TMPGEnc - No Audio
  TMPGEnc - Bottom Field First - No Audio
  Vegas 4
  Vegas 4 - No Audio
  Direct MPEG2 capture from Hauppauge PVR-250
  Hauppauge Capture, edited by Womble MPEG VCR
  Vegas 4 - No VirtualDub (Opened recording from PVR-250 directly)

Anybody here using DVD-Lab, do your discs play back smoothly on a PS2?

What media. Try TY or Ritecks.

I have tried Taiyo Yuden, Ritek, Fuji (Ricoh)
It's not a media problem.

For what it's worth, I've discovered that this problem is limited to DVD-Lab 1.3 (and probably earlier). The 1.4 beta versions do not have the problem. Smooth as silk.
