The material I was trying to encode was Star Trek TNG season 1 episodes. PAL/European release.
It seems those DVD's are not very good to begin with, and when they're encoded to XviD, they stutter a lot.
Ok, I uploaded this 30mb sample. This is not even the worst case of such stuttering, but if you look at it you will see what I mean. Especially at 35 seconds, the scene in which the captain's face is shot closely.

If someone has encoded these episodes succesfully, I would like to know how/what parameters/etc. was in use.
