In regards to the jitter,

if you play it in xine (/ kaffeine / xine-based player), and then press "i" (turn enable / disable the de-interlacing) do you see the jitter? I tend to do the interlacing tests in xine rather than the dvd player to observe the jitter. (saves me $1..) You may need to choose an appropriate de-interlacer, (one that doesn't just show the odd / even fields).

After mplexing the m2v & the ac3 (mp2 in your case) into a vob, I have used Restream under wine to determine the field order that is written in the header of the mpeg file, (would be cool if there was a similar program under linux!, but it seems to run under wine suitably..)

Official site seems down, but you can get it from: http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=Restream, and http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/showsoftware_restream_246.html.

If it's set incorrectly (i.e. progressive or top-field first), you can use this program to "flick the flags" to reverse the interlace order specifications... But I think its best to tell the encoder the order rather than change it after, but it is a good quick test) (mpeg2enc I believe actually has an option to specify the field order, but I'm on a machine without mpeg2enc loaded at the moment...)

Also note that the way the interlacing settings work in cinelerraSVN, is that there is a "project wide specified interlacing", and a per-asset based interlace specification, (right click the assets in the resources dialog box) If these don't match, and they are both either odd or even, then the default is to lift the projector up (or down-- can't recall) by 1 pixel when compositing all the tracks. Also for yuvmpeg pipe, the header sent also specifies the "project wide interlacing setting". I know for a fact that ffmeg ignores this header setting, (I learnt the hard way, and found the bug using Restream) I have since been using mencoder where you can explicitly specify the field order..

I tried yuvdeinterlace and that gave me a video with tons of blocks.
It's simply horrible, and I didn't even bothered about burning a DVD and
testing it on my standalone DVD player.

Still no clue.
