If you tell us what you are actually doing we might be able to tell you what you are doing wrong

You know, what is your source (SVCD but is it complaint), what tools you are using, templates settings etc, and what is actually going wrong would be a good start.

If you want the SVCD to be DVD-compliant, make sure the audio is at 48000Hz.

The DVD standard calls for MPEG2 video at 720x480, 352x480 or 352x240 with either PCM or AC3 audio at 48khz.

SVCD white book calls for MPEG2 video at 480x480 and mpeg2 layer I audio at 44.1khz.

The above link allows you do a 'header trick' to make the 480x480 video read as 352x480 (other wise you HAVE to re-encode to a DVD acceptable resolution). It also tells you how to re-encode the audio to 48khz. Although mp2 audio is NOT part of the DVD standard, most (MOST not all) standalones will have no trouble playing it. If you'r DVD player does then you'll want to convert your audio from MP2 to AC3 (PCM takes up to much space).
