If you want to know what others have found out of the DVD Player take al
look at: http://www.vcdhelp.com/

Selvar Nair. Is correct here. 

The lower the quality factor better, but mpeg2enc needs bandwith to
create good quality. If you don't have that bandwith it is better to
request a lower quality.

With a VBR Stream you cannot exactly control the length of the stream. 

If you want a stream with a exact size prediction, you have to use a CBR
(Constant BitRate). If you use VBR (Variable BitRate) you can only say
that the stream will have a max size, but it is likely that the size is
smaler. 
And MPEG2 is a VBR Stream by default.

If you denoise, I hope you also use --interlace-mode|-I 0 because else
mpeg2enc will spend time for motion estimation for a interlaced video
you don't have any more.
