2) SD ProRes.mov, 422 (HQ) 10-bit video with LPCM stereo audio :)

The source video files I want to convert to Blu-ray compliant MPEG-2 SD video with LPCM audio are: 1) DV25.dv, 720 x 576 (PAL), 50i 4:2:0 video with LPCM stereo audio and 2) SD ProRes.mov, 422 (HQ) 19-bit video with LPCM stereo audio
The purpose is to get better MPEG-2 quality using higher (highest) possible bitrate than for DVD video. (Yes, I have tested h.264 via Cin-GG)
Here a sample ffmpeg command script found for HD video with PCM (Blu-ray not mentioned): https://gist.github.com/avoidik/153879c06afdcaad8d69b38bcc00abb7 # with PCM 16-bit audio (uncompressed), constant video bitrate with specific bitrate tolerance
ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" \ -c:v mpeg2video -pix_fmt yuv422p -refs 1 -bf 2 -b:v 50M -maxrate 50M -minrate 50M \ -s 1920x1080 -aspect 16:9 \ -c:a pcm_s16be -f vob \ "output.mpg"
for SD files replace '-s 1920x1080' with '-s 720x576' or omit this part {better} .
'-b:v 40M -maxrate 40M -minrate 40M'. for 40 mbit/s fixed bitrate. for smaller bitrate just replace numbers. -f m2ts for mpeg2 transport stream. most likely remove -pix_fmt part. -i your file (ffmpeg hopefully will detect its type and codecs automatically) keep -c:v mpeg2video part I do not think you need mp4box for further conversion, as name suggest it mostly deals {at output end} with mp4 format, not mpeg2 transport stream (but you mentioned putting pcm in mp4, so I researched this part too) try tsmuxer (gui) next (not sure if Appimage works for you, if not try their linux build from their github - tags - assets (there you need to expand 'assets' arrow/triangle to see various binary and source archives).
Suggestion to FFMpeg command to convert the actual SD video files Blu-ray compat? And if LPCM has to be muxed via MP4(Box) first, a guideline is welcome?
