I've started to make films recently using linux and I've been trying to find the best mpeg2 encoder for making DVD compliant video. After reading the news groups for a while, I realized this is one of those never-fully-answered, and always-asked questions. I decided to at least do some looking around beforehand to help alleviate the eye-rolling.
In my experience, doing proper preprocessing of video streams before feeding them to the encoder makes _much_ more of a difference than switching encoders. I like to use MJPEG Tools for encoding to DVD format, because it includes some really good preprocessing tools.
I am planning to release a GUI frontend to MJPEGTools 1.7.0 which you might like to use. It allows the user to interactively build and store preprocessing pipelines that are optimized for whatever video source you need to encode. It is targeted at encoding DV video files to DVD compliant video and will be similar to my DVD authoring wizard that was released some weeks ago:
