 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!
