i successfully create 3 DVD Videos using this script.
well, i'm using DVD Styler too to build the DVD.

-- encode2dvd.bat --

example:
encode2dvd input.mov "lavc_option" "global_option" "output_dir"

output file name will be same with input name, except with .mpeg extension.
well, the output will be an NTSC video. why do you prefer PAL over NTSC?
your video is 16:9, it will be best suited using NTSC.
it has 60 fps, using 30 fps NTSC will reserve more frame.
if you still prefer PAL, you can add "-vf scale=720:576 -ofps 25" in
global option.

when you sure there is no error in the script,
you can add "-msglevel all=1" in global option to remove skipping frame message.
