How can I avoid a jittery AVCHD playback from an MPEG-4 rendered to an AVCHD DVD?

My video camera yields 1920x1080, 60 fps MPEG-4 video files. When I reformat them to AVCHD DVDs, the playback on Blu-Ray players (I tried three different brands: Sony, Insignia, and Toshiba) has about a 3-5 Hz halting or jitter. I've tried using 60 fps and 30 fps for the AVCHD...same result. The raw MPEG-4 videos play back smoothly and beautifully from an SD card, either through the Blu-Ray player's USB, directly through my TV's USB port, or on my computer.

This is typical of the result of converting interlaced video to AVCHD which is progressive video and is seen at its worst in panning shots or where the subject moves across the screen.

You can reduce this effect by turning on the Apply anti-interlace filter in the export setting as shown below - you will not eliminate the jitter totally on moving objects or panning shots.
