HMC-150 Exported Footage to m2v "twitches" (Clip Included)

Hello Helpful People!

For some reason, when I export this Wedding I shot (720p) from FCP 7 to Compressor to make a DVD it twitches for about a minute at 2 or 3 different times in the video. I have exported several 720p and 1080p weddings prior to this with no issue. The twitch is NOT present in the source video and never comes up when I export it to QT or to mp4 via Compressor, etc. Below you'll see the link to a section of the clip (on VIMEO) to see what I'm talking about when I say "twitch".

One interesting thing about this is that I tried exporting the whole video to m2v at several different settings and there was no rhyme or reason why this is happening (see the exports below). Fortunately a couple of the exports of this Wedding didn't have the "twitch" issue so I was able to burn the DVD and move on but this makes me nervous going forward.

ALSO! I tried exporting ONLY the portions that twitched by cutting and pasting them to a new sequence and exported them at the settings below and it did NOT twitch at all. Only when the full video was exported at the settings below did the video have the twitch issue...strange.

The twitch happened in the same areas on all the videos (except the couple that didn't have it at all) and it always lasted for about a minute or so then went away only to come back later.

Again, I have done several weddings before at these settings with no issue.

Exports to DVD 2-pass directly from FCP to Compressor:

6.8mbps 8mbps max: Twitches EVERYTIME I export it at this setting (but not on other weddings)
6.6mbps 7.8mbps max: Twitches in the same few places
6.7mbps 8mbps max: NO Twitch on this export for some reason (strange)
6.4mbps 7.7mbps max: NO twitch
6.9mbps 8.1max: Twitches in the same few places



Any ideas on what is causing this for this video?

Here is the link to a portion of the clip that has the "twitch":
