What's the audio playback like - does it drop in and out but still remain in sync witht the video?

If so, I'd suggest lowering your encode CBR to something around 2000 (or even lower).
Your player may not be up to the task of such a high CBR.

Hope this helps.

the audio seems to be alright, tis a NTSC film does that mean i ave to set the frame rate to 29.97?
even tho the film runs @ 23.976 when i ply it on my pc

Yes 29.97 is a must in SVCD playback. You will can either encode in 23.96 fps with "2:3 pulldown when playback" option set or encode in 29.97 fps.
