Comment:

 Your input sample is high-bitrate MPEG2. It is possible to re-encode your
 sample so that the output file has less than 3% of the size of the input
 file, depending on the used codec and settings. (Unrelated but
 interesting: Even using highest quality MPEG-1 re-encoding, the size was
 still reduced to far below 10%.)
 dvvideo has a defined bit-rate (defined by the specification, not the
 FFmpeg developers) that cannot be changed. This bit-rate is (even) higher
 than the bit-rate of your input file.

 For future questions: Please remember that this is a bug tracker, not a
 support forum, see http://ffmpeg.org/contact.html for the ffmpeg-user
 mailing list.
