Here is a simple solution for using ODE in an environment with a variable timestep, like a game with an update function that takes the time elapsed since the last call. I just used this method in a game I am working on and it works very well, reducing the jitters significantly.

cache = 0
timestep = .01

update(time_elapsed)
{
cache += time_elapsed
while(cache >= timestep)
{
~normal simloop of ode using 'timestep' here ~
cache -= timestep
}
}
