Does this show up watching on your pc off the hard drive? I'd say If it works on pc it's either the media used to burn (blank disc you burned it on), burning speed (8x vs 4x) or the dvd player at your TV. A lot of players are extremely picky with backup copies for different reasons. Afew I've noticed
1. DVD±R or DVD±RW there are four different types of discs right there and some players only like one of them some like all. And once you find the right type disc use only good ones, not the cheap store namebrand types. Many Afterdawn members prefer Taiyo Yudens for quality and price. Burn them at 4x or slower.
2. My older player is very picky and hates when I compress main movie too much. You never said how you burned a copy so cant help there but you probably used an encodere like DVD Shrink or Nero so get rid of the movie parts you dont need and get a good compression ratio (70-100% for me)
if you are having a problem w/ this as I would you would need to provide more details they are key we need to know prog's used media burn speed and much more
Deadrum33 gave all good advice but if you want precise help feel free to post your system specs as well as any log's you might have.
I am burning at 2x on DVD-Rs. My dvd player plays those just fine. The movie itself is not compressed at all. I am burning on Sony DVD-R's. I back up w/ Shrink and burn w/ Decrypter.
If not already give the quality adjustments in shrink a go! this will impact the output of shrink greatly the deep analysis will spread out the compression to the portions that can better handle it and the adaptive error compensation will pay closer attention to artifacts produced during compresion I think the smooth setting will address your issue but try it out this will add some time to your encoding but should be well worth it!
I'm assuming the copy on the hd plays w/out the flaws as was mentioned by Deadrum33

If the movie only is less than 4.38 gb and doesn't require any compression then you can rip with DVD Decrypter in movie only mode then burn it straight from your hdd to a dvd therefor bypassing a transcoder.
