When I play a commercial DVD, new or old in VLC, the motion is not smooth. How may this be corrected?
Thank you.

This problem has been present since anything after version 1.0.5. It is even present in the 4.x.x nightlies.

Not confident they understand or recognize the problem.

It is very doubtful that you can infer this from the little information there is on this topic.

Also, the details are too vague to act on.

Problem seems to stem from DVD framerate 29.97fps being different than a 60HZ PC monitor. 29.97 doesn't evenly divide into 60. And the resulting jitter shows up in any panning scene. Other players handle it fine.
