Stories  not behaving: stills seem to be the erratic culprits, but why?

I have a 16:9 project (in DVDSP 4.2.0) with a series of short video clips. Between each one on the timeline I have a menu (Button Highlight, infinite wait, still is 1 second long) I also have a 3 second still before the next video clip. I have created a story for the "Play All" function. This plays a clip, then jumps to the 3 second still then plays the next clip and so on (ie skipping all the menus and their infinite waits). This worked a treat in the previous version of DVDSP, but is all over the place now. Sometimes the video freezes for 3 seconds, while the final 3 seconds of audio plays, then jumping to the next clip, which plays fine. Sometimes the still appears but is heavily pixelated with green bits.
The stills are all 853x480jpegs
Any suggestions??

It appears that part of my problem is an ongoing drama with DVD Player (reported elsewhere) but the weird part is that I have now determined that the issue is NOT with the chapters, or the stories or the buttons over video, but actually with the stills! These are all jpegs and are 853x480 so shouldn't really be that taxing should they? Is there a different format that might work better? The DVD plays fine on other machines, but of course it would be nice for all of you to be able to enjoy my work on your Macs too!
