DVD2SVCD is another extremely good dvd type program, a normal lenght movie takes a couple of cd's, longer ones like lord of the rings would probly take 3 or maybe 4 if you wanted high quality

the complete tute and software is available at www.dvdrhelp.com

this is a really good program, simply follow the steps in the tutorial outline at the site and you can get an svcd with quality just as good as a dvd, also use the cinema craft encoder (you'd need to patch it) or otherwise use tmpeg, but CC is the better one to use, the quality you get from it leaves tmpeg wondering whats going on
