re-encoding to mpeg 2 for dvd problem

[mgzr1400]

I recently purchased a dvdr drive and I am trying to convert a 1.2gig mpeg1 movie to mpeg 2 using tmpgenc. When i convert it and author it, the movie comes out very jumpy and the audio is out of sync. I am quite experienced in divx conversion using gordian know and tmpgenc, but havnt done much mp2 conversions yet. Does anyone know what im doing wrong and could it just be a simple bitrate or ntsc/pal conversion mistake? cheers guys for any help!

"ntsc/pal conversion mistake?"

If this is what you're attempting to do, it is certainly the cause of your problem...
