Up until now, I have used the KDE3 version of kdenlive, and I still am (forced 
to) using it. So, to create DVD's, I have exported a DV file from kdenlive, 
and used this to create VOB files:

ffmpeg -threads 3 -deinterlace -top 0 -i test.dv -target pal-dvd -aspect 
16:9 -sameq -pass 1 -passlogfile test.log test.mpg

ffmpeg -threads 3 -deinterlace -top 0 -i test.dv -target pal-dvd -aspect 
16:9 -sameq -pass 2 -passlogfile test.log test.mpg

I am not even sure that is the right way to do it, but it has been giving me 
visually pleasing results.

Now, trying to render directly from the westly file that an export scripts 
from kdenlive0.6 produces, I have tried this command line:

inigo test.westley resize=hyper in=0 out=40206 progress=1 -consumer 
avformat:test.vob deinterlace=1 top=0 target='pal-dvd' aspect=16:9 sameq=1

However, this produces output in a file called "pal-dvd", which is not what I 
expected, and which appears to contain artifacts and has a pretty low bitrate. 
Also, I am very uncertain on how to get multipass. Could you perhaps shed 
some light on this - and why I get a file called 'pal-dvd' in the above 
example?

Regards

Mads
