Ok -- does it sound like I"m on the right track though? NTSC (29fps - I did find a patch for the fps) 544x480 and I get messed up video that looks like horz or vert sync is way off.

Yes, if your dvd player does not support a resolution like that then you will have to re-encode it to a standard resolution like 640x480 or 720x480. You will need an mpeg2 encoder for this job.

I'm simply making a single movie on a dvd -- no menu or anything. It works in all my computers, my kid's cheap dvd but not my home theatre.

Have a look at http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/dvdauthor_howto.php for all your dvd authoring needs. It amounts to quite a bit of work in the end but it's the only way other than getting a player that supports non-standard resolutions. You'll have so much fun with interlacing you didn't think it was possible before :)
