The command line is ok, the problem has to be related to the media may be?
I remember the DVP 642 manual saying that only DVD+R(W) media are
supported. I though it was simply propaganda, but it can be the cause
of your problem. Try to use DVD+RW media. Try a different DVD-RW media
(a RW media burned many times will show defects at some point).
Check also that the avi burned in the DVD is identical to the encoded avi
on your hard disk.

I'm thinking about a media problem because I have never seen choppy video
with the encodings I have done.
