1766	Can't encode MPEG-2 at more than ~3Mb/s	agusdallalba		"Summary of the bug: I'm trying to convert a 720p25 video to DVD-spec 6500kbps MPEG2, but the output is <3Mb/s instead. The subjective quality is not that good, there are blocks in the background and the picture lacks sharpness. I'm using ffmpeg version git-2012-09-26-299c0b3.

The source video is a remuxed Sherlock.S01E01.720p.BluRay.x264-AVCHD, that can be easily found in P2P sites. With some guidance I can try encoding the original BluRay, but ripping it on linux has proven itself way too difficult for me and I figured it would be the same.

I originally used a much more complicated command line, but the issue is still there with the stripped-down {{{ ffmpeg -i ""$1"" -target pal-dvd -b:v 6450k -an -pass 1/2 ""$1"".mpg -report }}}

I've attached ffmpeg's reports and the two-pass log, please tell me if you need anything else, I'll try to reply as soon as I can. Thanks!"	defect	new	normal	undetermined	git-master		mpeg2video dvd				0	0
