SVCD is better quality than VCD and allows a higher bitrate at the cost of time, but VCD offers better player compatibility.

Full DVD encoding on CD is called "miniDVD" - but player compatibility is VERY limited, and the time possible is also shorter than best quality SVCD.

Encoding at nonstandard SVCD rates is called XSVCD - or in one description, XSVCD is "anything encoded like SVCD and written in SVCD mode, but with bitrates or size outside the standard" - player compatibility is again limited, but often better than miniDVD.
