I would recommend not declaring a bitrate at all if using -target
ntsc-dvd. You are using a preset for NTSC DVDs which is already
declaring various average/min/max bitrates within the DVD spec. I
think the PAL preset averages about 6Mbits per second from my
experience and produces very nice looking images.

Totally agree.

Just for info: For the ntsc-dvd target, ffmpeg sets the max rate at
9000000.

Only use target for progressive though - it will make a mess of
interlaced especially when the source is 422.

Maybe an "i" suffix on all the targets should be considered that scales
interl=1 and adds ilme/idct. Or maybe a warning only to
use -target on progressive/deinterlaced content would be easier :-)
