Default Why is picture not smooth?

I have VHS tapes that I would like to convert to digital and store on DVD video discs.

I've tried the programs "Virtualdub" and "iuVCR" and recorded a few minutes for testing. I use this system:

P4, 3 gigaHerz
512 MB ram
250 gigabyte harddrive
ATI Radeon 9800 (Theater)
Capture resolution: 720*576
Source is PAL

I've encoded the uncompressed AVI files that I recorded to mpeg2 like I usually do to 9mbit (8.5 sometimes) (I've done this with my miniDV camera as well with perfect result). I've used the program Adobe Premiere to encoded the video.

But when I look at the video in my stand alone DVD player on the TV the video looks bad when it's moving. For example when someone walks or a car passes by. It is not smoth at all!

What is wrong? How could I get a better (smooter) picture like the original VHS?
