SVCD TMPGEnc trick for real or just a transcoded MPEG-1 VCD?

[MichaelLAX]

Has anyone confirmed if the resulting file from the so-called TMPGEnc SVCD trick is really a SVCD (i.e., an MPEG-2 file), or does it just transcode the file back to MPEG-1, with the result that the player is truly just playing a VCD?...

Thanks...

The header trick doesn't re-encode your SVCD back to a MPEG-1 (VCD), it just changes the header so your DVD player thinks your playing a VCD when your really playing SVCD. :P

I just did this for a video and when I play it on the DVD player, the sound is 2 seconds ahead of the video? Is that a result of the header trick? It plays regular VCDs fine. The manual says it plays only VCDs, but I was wondering if I burned a SVCD if I needed to put files in another place or something.
