AVStoDVD Support Thread

[vinib]

Hello,

I'm converting mkv to DVD (for a friend that does not matter too much about image quality).

AVStoDVD works fine, got once a crash, but now it's working. However, there seems to be a slight defect: when I watch the end product (the DVD), every few frames, it looks like the image is jumping/vibrating. When it's a quite scene during the movie, you can see like the movie was vibrating, like if it was getting a light electric shock...sorry, I don't really know how to describe it.
How can I check frame per frame? how to troubleshoot? Also, I don't know where is the issue (if any)? I mean, don't know if it's due to AVStoDVD...

With another movie, even if an .ac3 file is created, the final product (DVD) does not have sound.
here is the log:
