Question about re-authoring a DVD

[Tubular]

I have this one DVD and the picture seems to hiccup or hesitate every couple minutes or so, but the audio doesn't pause, it keeps playing fine. These are single layer discs, so it's not a layer change. I seem to remember this having something to do with an incorrect field order or something? Is there an easy way to fix this in TMPGEnc or similar without re-encoding the video? Thanks

Try to demux and mux it again. If it doesn't help then only re-enecoding may help but not always...

Very good encoder, and tool for correcting video errors (structure) has VideoReDoPlus but it costs up $40. Some people like MPEG Video Wizard but it not always produces full DVD compatible mpg2 stream, and the quality is visible lower than VideoReDoPlus, imo.

Thanks, I'll try to demux and re-mux. What do you think about Nero or DVD Shrink for re-encoding and fixing errors?
