Hi,

IMHO -w 1500 is rather small bitrate for dvd-mpeg2. As you use
--export_prof I suppose it will set a better default, so skip it.

-b 128 is IMHO ok for mp3 abr, but it is probably a littel small for
layer2, I think the default --export-prof setting (?228?) will be
better, skip it, too.

There is IMHO no need for -N, -m, -ext, too. Just give -o GOUNA (no
extension) and you will receive the same results.

Further it could help to use --dv_yuy2_mode as I don't know how your
distributor is compiling libdv.

In general:

When you use --export_prof avoid using other options changing the
defauls --export_prof gives. At least scaling/cropping the image will
break the reasonable defaults set by profile usage. This is probably
true for other options, too.

By setting --encode_fields b you tell the encoder that the stream
will be bottom field first (which is AFAIK true for all dv data)
I don't know about Tom's MoComp but deinerlacing the stream and
advicing the encoder that it will be feeded with a bff stream, is
IMHO somewath strange. I would skip this filter, too.

Last not least:

You have to make sure that your dv stream is dv2 avi or (prefered)
raw-dv. Transcode can neither handle dv1 mode streams nor any
proprietary extensions your $BestDVImplementationOnEarth
(camera buddled) grabbing software will offer.

No, but if you follow above given hints, mplex will happily mux the
streams you received using -f 8.

I am not that familiar with ffmpeg. To get a dvd compatible stream
from your input I would use:

transcode -i oi001.dv --encode_fields b --dv_yuy2_mode \
          -y mpeg2enc,mp2enc --export_prof dvd-pal -o GOVNA

and mplex it later. As I suppose your original stream is already 4:3,
I skipped --encode_asr, too.

HTH

BTW: I scrolled the manpage of my transcode 1.0.2 a little while
     writing this. At least in the secton about --export_prof there 
     are still some command lines quoting -V which is IMHO only true 
     for older versions.
