Here's the dealio...I have a mpg video and used Divx to DVD. It worked well but the video was a bit jumpy. I being a perfectionist just wasn't happy so I did a 2 pass conversion to SVCD with Nero. Quality was better but not perfect so I did another 2 pass conversion from SVCD to DVD with Nero. Still a little jumpy. Is there a way I can take the mpg file and convert it to DVD and make it seemlessly smooth or am I spitting in the wind?

You'll need to give more details before anyone can really answer your question. I'd start with this:

1. What's the resolution and framerate of the original MPG file?

2. Are you making a PAL or NTSC DVD?

I am not sure what the resolution or framerate is or how to check it. I would be greatly appreciative if you tell me how. I am making a NTSC DVD.

Open the original file in virtualdubmod.
Select File, File information, and post everything you see here.

If the file is 25fps (or 23.976) and you're doing a framerate conversion to 29.97fps (NTSC standard) the video can get jerky.

Yup, that's a PAL video.
Encoding to NTSC (changing the framerate) has given it the jerks.

I have one method, there are others...

Encode it to NTSC (720x480) aspect, but keep the framerate at 25fps.
Download and install DGPulldown (free).
Load the encoded mpg, and select 25 -> 29.97 fps.
Author the dgpulldown.mpg

The method rebootjim mentioned is the same one I use. It works very nicely with a minimal amount of effort.
