Your output is not conformant, it contains only one video frame...
>ffmpeg -h demuxer=image2
Use "-loop 1" as an input option for example.

Also see
>ffmpeg -h encoder=mpeg2video
When encoding still pictures, encoding B frames should help, try -b_strategy 2

If you intend your dvd to be fully conformant and playable by a hardware device, do not go up to the limits : that will certainly get you to full big real blocking artefacts this time!
I have no fresh experience with it, but something like 6 Mb/s seems more reasonable.
