Please help with jerky playback of DVD-R

[shhas]

I have been getting into video editing these days and finally bought Pinnacle DV500 DVD caputer card.
Prior to that I have been using a combination of Ulead Movie factory and Nero to burn my DVD-r's which are almost always playable on my standalone dvd player.

Here is the problem. Now that I have spent more to get things done faster, I have hit a glitch. For testing purposes, I used a composite caputre off my vcr(e.g. regular AV not DV)through the card (no problem) and edited with Primiere 6.0 and DV edition of Pinnacle and outputed the MPEG file. Primiere/Pinnacle outputs the mpeg files as two files: mp2 video file and wav audio file which Ulead does not recognize. So I had to use Sonic MyDVD to make the DVD. When I burn this with MyDVD, the DVD chokes past my first menu. So I tried my trusted Nero to burn the Video_TS files in UDF/ISO mode. Now it plays but the video is jerky. Every few seconds it has small but very noticable and persistent jerks to it.
I had read about field order and the fact that it needs to be lower field order with DV. Is that why my composite capture jerks? because of wrong field order?
I am at an impass and appreciate any suggestions.

If you had the wrong field order all movement would look jerky. I would say that it's possibly your framerate. If you are capturing at 30fps and not 29.97003 you will have an extra ( pause ) every time the rounding worked it way up ( 33.33 frames ) so a once per 1.03 seconds sounds about right.

I would look into your analog capture card and software. If your capture card requires use of your PC sound card for audio capture you also need to investigate it since most video capture software keys off the audio and sync's the video to it and not the nother way around. If your sound card is not accurate your analog captures will suffer.
