DVD2SVCD, hands down the best program for people new to SVCD creation to make SVCD's from DVD's and AVI's.

You'll just need to choose your encoder of choice, TMPGEnc, CCE or ProCoder.

Check out the "DVDRip" section in the menu bar to the left. You'll find the program, guides, opinion's, everything!!!

Good luck!

One of the easiest to use is DVDx 2.2. All in one, and the quality is very good, if your DVD player can even play a SVCD, or VCD.

At default bitrates the output is just so-so. If you can play at higher bitrates, you can increase easily. I generally used to raise till the second, third disk as close to full as I could.

DVD2SVCD is better, but takes a little more work. It's what I use now.

DVDx make poor quality SVCD's compared to DVD2SVCD. It may be easier, but DVD2SVCD is pretty easy to learn too.

I can't agree with the above - these may be the easiest, but not best (as best imho also involves most flexible).
You need a suite of applications. Which, depends on your source. For DVD, you need a ripper, like SmartRipper or DVDDecrypter. DVD2AVI can also come in handy.
The rest is the same regardless of if you're going from AVI or from DVD: VirtualDub, TMPGEnc, VCDEasy.
Of all these apps, only TMPGEnc will cost you money.
For more extensive info, take a look at the guides for ??? to SVCD under How To -> Convert!

I agree with Mats, however if I want to make a svcd quick I use Eazy Vcd
