good, next step, read bugreports.html and do whats written in there (=

what higher value, wheres the output from ffmpeg?

well i guess 1920x1080 intra only mpeg2 cbr @ 15mbps is not realistic
even if you succeed to encode this in a vbv compliant way the quality will
be very poor

a few things you could try:
* remvove -bt 1 (and i mean remove, not replace it by anything lower then the
                 bitrate you want)
* is this interlaced or progressive? if its interlaced then set the command 
  line options accordingly
* -mbd 2 -flags trell+mv0+cbp -cmp 1 might help a little
* decrease framerate (and incerase bufsize 1/10 of a second at the target
  bitrateis too little, especially at lower framerates)
* increase -lmax
* try -qscale X with X someting large

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
