Around a month ago I found Chicken Man's tutorial on converting DVD movies to SVCD and used it with good results. The only real variance I had to make from Chicken Man's tutorial was that I could never get any version of Cinema Craft Encoder to work on my computer (abended every time) so I had to use TMPGEnc which worked great. I suspect that Cinema Craft Encoder just has some issues running under Windows XP. My new computer running Windows XP will not run Cinema Craft Encoder successfully either.
