Your source video has a very strange resolution. Is it interlaced? If so, the flickering is probably caused by improper resizing of interlaced footage.
But it's very odd that a 15-FPS movie would be interlaced, so I'm guessing it's not.
How exactly did you convert it to 720x480, 29.97 FPS...?

The Source file is non-interlaced and I used Virtual-Dub |

If the source is not interlaced, you should select "non-interlaced" in TMPGEnc's source options (in the "Advanced" tab).
Some "stuttering" will be inevitable, since you are playing something that only has 15 updates per second on a medium that normally does 60 (59.94, to be more precise) updates per second.
It's like playing a 3D computer game with a slow graphics card; the movement loses fluidity.
But there shouldn't be any flickering. Have you tried playing the movie created by VirtualDub (before using it in TMPGEnc)? Does it flicker, too?

Yes I have tried playing the movie in Virtual Dub and it plays great. I only getting the flickering when I encode it to MPEG2 from a AVI file. Also I already tried selecting Non-interlace in TMPGEnc |

Well, then I have no idea what's causing the problem. If the AVI file is the correct resolution and the correct frame rate, then TMPGEnc isn't doing any sort of conversion, so the resulting MPEG file should look exactly the same (minus any normal quality loss caused by the compression).
Where did you play back the MPEG file?
