Ignore the dvsd  - I guess 50 or 25 mbit are both dvsd.

I tested some more and encoding a test with current ffmpeg shows that 
mplayer will work with -

  ffmpeg -i input -target ntsc-dv50 -aspect 4:3 -y output.dv

but fails to play properly default/pal
  ffmpeg -i input -target dv50 -aspect 4:3 -y output.dv
  ffmpeg -i input -target pal-dv50 -aspect 4:3 -y output.dv

Current mencoder also doesn't make a file that mplayer can play - it 
does, however, unlike ffmpeg make a file that xine and vlc can play.

mencoder -nosound -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=dvvideo:format=422P -o 
out.dv inyuy2
