I didn't take it all the way through mandvd->DVD->dvd player->TV, but 
looking at it in kino, the movements seems just as jerky, unfortunately :-(

I'm using melt 0.5.4, which I seemed I already had installed, probably 
came with something else (I'm using ubuntu 10.4). Could the problem be 
due to an outdated version? Or am I missing something?

A minor detail: players will see the files comming out of this command 
as 4:3, when they are in fact 16:9. Not a big deal, since I have 16:9 
set in the kino prefs, forcing kino to treat them as 16:9...

In any case I'm pleased to learn that what I experienced is not "just 
me", but a well-known problem with interlaced video! Would I loose 
anything, quality-wise, by using non-interlaced 25fps from now on 
instead of interlaced 50fps (if I read the setting in the camera correctly)?

I hope to get this solved :-)
