I don't know if I should post this here, or in the AVISynth forum, so moderators, please feel free to move if desired.

I also know that filters aren't really supported by dvdrebuilder, but I've been reading so much about undot and deen that I decided I wanted to give it a try just to see the difference.

I downloaded the undot.dll and deen.dll files and moved them to my AVISynth plugin directory. Then in rebuilder, I went to the AVSoptions -> filter options. In the window, I entered

Undot().deen()

After running the prepare phase, I confirmed that this addition was added to my avs scripts. Encoding took A LOT longer than usual, but that is as I was expected. I opened the avs files in media player, and they all look and play fine.

Now, after encoding and rebuilding, the movie plays fine in WinDVD. However, when trying to burn this to disc using Nero, I get a write error NEARLY every time which causes the burn to abort. One time, it burned all the way through without any problems, but none of my standalones would play it.

Just for testing purposes, I used the exact same source and ran it through rebuilder again, this time removing the filter commands. Again, using Nero and the EXACT same disc (was a RW), it burned fine and plays just fine on my standalones.

Does this make any sense? Did I do something wrong? Any ideas?

There has to be some other variable that caused this. I can't imagine how undot().deen() could be the culprit. It is more likely that the changes in size and positioning caused by the filters indirectly caused some other problem -- or there was some procedural step that was different.
