DVD/DV file stutters when deinterlaced?

Hello, dear community.

I've got a really annoying problem bringing a DV file to DVD.

The DV file is interlaced and has been captured with a Sony camcorder. When I play the file in VLC or the Windows Media Player, it runs fine ... as long as deinterlacing is not activated. When I turn deinterlacing on, the playback stutters heavily.

Now I've transcoded the file with AVStoDVD to a DVD image.
When I mark the title (my DV file) as interlaced and create a DVD image, this ISO features no interlacing but stutters in VLC and WMP.
When I don't mark it as interlaced, the ISO is interlaced but runs smoothly in VLC and WMP. But when I put it into my standalone DVD player, it stutters again. Maybe because the player tries to deinterlace it?

Your help would be very appreciated. I'm slowly freaking out.
