Burning .avi files to play on DVD players

So, I tried to burn my copy of Densha Otoko so I could watch it on a DVD player using VirtualDub and this guide : http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?postid=335919#post335919
Then I used Nero Vision to actually burn it and set up menus.  Besides forgetting to put on subtitles, it's kinda choppy and the top of the picture shakes.  It's not choppy enough that it's skipping frames, just playing each frame slower.

What did I do wrong and/or better methods for this?  Can I just use the origianl .avi Nero Vision?

PCs are boring and only come with calculators, spreadsheets and word processors. to do the fun stuff like music, movies, and photos, you need to buy a mac.

$1099 please.
