With HDV 'in the Blu-ray box' I would like to test if it possible to use 
equivalent procedures for DV to SD-Blu-ray video.

That is continue as an alternative to the 2021 thread here:
https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/pipermail/cin/2021-December/004268.html

Blu-ray compliant MPEG-2 SD video with LPCM audio
-------------------------------------------------

1) Encode DV to MPEG-2 video and copy PCM audio as is to a VOB/MPG format:

ffmpeg -i dv28.dv -c:v mpeg2video -refs 1 -bf 2 -b:v 25M -maxrate 25M
-minrate 25M -bufsize 45M -muxrate 45M -dc 10 -c:a pcm_s16be -f vob 
dv28_25mbps.mpg

2) tsMuxer
As FFMpeg (then) would not allow to mux PCM or remux MPG to M2TS, I 
tested tsMuxer,
see the attached screenshot: tsMuxer_SD_M2TS
Input file:  dv28_25mbps.mpg
Tracs:       MPEG-2 video stream and LPCM audio stream
Output:      dv28_25mbps.iso

------------------------

Using Mediainfo to compare the source dv28.dv ffmpeg input file with its 
output file dv28_25mbps.mpg (intermediate) and with the resulting 
dv28_25mbps.iso, show that the interlaced dv video was changed to 
progressive VOB/BVOB dvd video.

-----------------------------------

That is, suggestion how to merge/customize the newer ffmpeg HDV to 
Blu-ray procedure
ffmpeg -i hdv.m2t -c:v copy -c:a pcm_bluray -mpegts_m2ts_mode 1 output.mts

for SD-DV to keep it interlaced and get dv28_25mbps.m2ts muxed directly?

------------------

I did a first try with the following line, without taking care of 
25mbps, but got lost the pcm audio to a privat stream (change mode?).
Additional the vido is not kept interlaced.
