to see the distortions on your system.
Then, just disable mpeg2 smartrendering and you will see that the distortions will disappear.
Here is the procedure mentioned in the above quote:

-put http://members.chello.at/lorber1/test.mpg onto the timeline at 00:00:00:00
-cut the clip at 03:20 in 2 parts using the scissor
-insert a "fade to black" transition with a duration of 1 seconds at that cut position
-smartrender to a new mpeg file, it will have a distortion at the end of the transition.
-render again but disable smartrendering: no distortions can be seen
I did the same now and you can see the distortion in
http://members.chello.at/lorber1/test1.mpg
Please let me know your results
I acknowledge that there is something wrong with your video in the link given
http://members.chello.at/lorber1/test1.mpg - it appears somewhat jumpy.
What I also observe though is that if I follow your instructions EXACTLY then there is something missing namely the 1 second fade to black transition.

I did as you requested and imported YOUR mpg2 file. When prompted by VideoStudio to alter my project settings to match that of the video to enable smart rendering I selected Yes.

I made a cut at 03.20

I inserted a 1 second fade to black transition.

For the next part I will pass no comment other than to provide two links.
Both of these files are created with the setting "Same as project settings"

01: MPG File with Smart Render Enabled
02: MPG File with Smart Render Disabled

Interestingly the file sizes are all different.
File with smart render enabled = 7,790 KB
File with smart render disabled = 7,278 KB
Original unedited file size = 8,883 KB
