DVD presets should always have -target *-dvd option

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Set DVD PAL (4:3) preset or similar (not HQ one).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output should be compatible with such a program as dvdauthor.
Now output is not fully compatible: no NAV packets, e.g.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu Jaunty

Please provide any additional information below.

I see in trunk that '-f dvd' is added into DVD presets. This is much
better, but not fully right. With '-f dvd' I see that bitrate value in
resultant video is not right generated; mplayer says that it is 0 kbyte/s:

VIDEO:  MPEG2  352x576  (aspect 2)  25.000 fps    0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s)

I think the right solution for all DVD presets is:
1. First option is always -target (-target pal-dvd or -target ntsc-dvd resp.)
2. No more options '-vcodec mpeg2video' and '-f dvd': -target sets them
automatically.

Example of correct presets.xml (for trunk) is attached.

Quick question.

Am I correct in assuming that no code change needs to happen, but the default
preset's need to be amended?

Yes, no code change. Only presets should be corrected.
Here is the full discussion about this issue in the forum (between me and the 
user):

I disagree. If you use the -target option it negates a lot of other options 
that would 
make the higher quality conversion impossible. I know of other users who use 
the high 
quality dvd options just fine with such software like DVDLab and Adobe 
Premiere. In 
linux the high quality dvd preset were created Gmaq, and he uses them 
effectively with 
his distro of AV LINUX http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html. If you wish to use 
just 
the straight dvd -target options you can use the pal dvd fast. That's all it 
is, "-
target paldvd" and an mpg extension.

As far as I see high dvd quality options have this option (-target *-dvd) 
already.
But low quality have not, and that is I am speaking about... That is, low 
quality dvd
options need that option, just like high quality dvd options have it now.

And, if the -target option is set first in the command line then it doesn't 
negate
any other options because ffmpeg applies options sequentially; so, any next 
option
beats any previos.
