DV has fixed resolutions: 720x480 for NTSC and 720x576 for PAL. So,
yes, that will look bad. FLV is going to look bad no matter what
bitrate you choose, in my opinion. Have you tried MPEG-2, MPEG-4 or
H.264 generic options with a sufficiently high bitrate? If those do
not work, then your build of MLT is probably bad.

I am not sure what your "this" and "it" is. Eventually, there will be
an easier way to build and use custom project setting from a sample
clip in the Project Tree. Eventually, we will update the DV export
profiles to indicate their fixed resolution to make that more obvious.
