Frame Rate issues in AVI to DVD conversions [Archive]

Lately, I have been trying using D2S to make AVI to DVD conversions but running repeatedly into, which I think, is a frame rate issue. The resulting video plays with "mild" jerks or bumps. In other words, the video does not play smoothly and with the same speed as in the original AVI source. It looks like the video is playing a tad bit slower than normal.

It might be the same issue which others in the forum have called "Staggered Video."

AVI source was 640 x 272 XVID with frame rate of 23.976. I am using D2S with default settings except changing AVISynth Script for resizing and I am using the latest D2S version.

Can anybody suggest anything?

Here is my D2S log file just in case:
