Ok, maybe I should have read some of this forum BEFORE I started my own fan edit, but I didn't :-( Now, after spending maybe 50 hours editing, I'm having a problem and I hope someone can help!

I ripped the DVD with SmartRipper as seperate VOBs and imported into Womble. I didn't rip as one massive VOB, I didn't demux first, so shame on me. I've done a ton of editing and added extra audio to both extra audio tracks. Play back in Womble is fine and I've had no sync issues.

When I make a DVD using the Womble DVD maker, as expected it only re-encodes the sections of video where I've added dissolves (so only a few bits).

Trouble is, when I playback on my DVD player, I get very studdery motion. This looks like incorrect 3:2 pulldown (or lack of), but when the next scene with an edit comes up, the playback gets smooth. It keeps jumping back and forth from smooth to choppy playback from scene to scene. If I play the DVD again, scenes that were choppy now play smooth and vice-versa.

Also, if I'm watching a scene with choppy playblack I hit pause and then play again, the playback becomes smooth! Every time.

What's doing on?? How can I fix it? I've spent so much time editing, I sure don't want to have to start over...
