Posting this because, i have had a **** of a lot of problems trying to create a SVCD, but at 6:43 AM cracked it, and its to early to go to the pub to celebrate. and someone might find this info useful.
Firstly i used a program called AVI2MPG2 which is opensource, do a search for it on google.
My AVI From premiere was 720 by 576. in AVI2MPG" i Changed it to 480 by 576, this was one of the first problems i was having as i was trying to letterbox my footage, and going 480 by 576 seemed to be against my logic, but i chose 16:9 and selected proportional in the framing option and hay presto letterbox. on my laptop playing it i get the letterbox and on me widescreen TV i get it full screen,
Second big problem was sound, my footage was at 48'000 so in premiere i exported , resampling at 441000 (took years to do !) this seemed to clear up the sync problems i was having and also AVI2MPG2 seems ot be the best program for over coming this.
oh another thing in AVI2MPG2 is dont accidently hit the invert button which is easy to do as it confuses the **** out of you.
on my output settings in AVI2MPG2, i chose SVCD, 16:9 , PAL (Very important!) and voila. left with a MPg2 all lovely and sync.
then using Nero (trying to convert a AVI to SVCD in NEro was causing major sync and aspect ratio probs), just selected SVCD, pulled in my mpg file and pressed burn ..
and voila one SVCD which works perfectly in my DVD player.
all that is left to do is wait for the pub to open .

Nice one bruva! I tried to do that a while ago, but my p.c was too sh1t and it hung like Micheal Hutchince! Whats the quality like? Could it look to the untrained eye as a dvd?

ah, I have one word for you and one word only:
nero
http://www.ahead.de
with the mpeg plugins it will conform your avi to (s)vcd standards then burn baby burn
it also does udf for files over 2GB
it also does basic dvd video discs
which i intend to try out soon, seeing that my pioneer a05 4x DVD-R arrived today, hurrah!
everything is transpiring as i have forseen ...

I find that nero is great for burning, but the MPEG decoder is shite.
Use TMPEGenc or Mainconcept for encoding for really good quality and then burn with nero.

Tsunami MPG Encoder (TMPGEnc)is the best MPG convertor I could find, particularly for the price [img]wink.gif[/img]

TMPGenc is good as well, but AVI2MPG2 has the edge me thinks,
another note to add as well, lot of people dont realise there DVD player is SVCD compatiable and are scared to try :-(
going to attempt to copy a DVD to SVCD later, got the DVD ripping working and the SVCD working, now time to bring hte two together he he he
