This is what Beirdo and I came up with for svcd..  you need to disable 
fifosync for some reason (I think transcode handles it on its own), but 
other than that, your mythtranscode call looks fine.  As for transcode:

transcode -i /tmp/fifodir/vidout -p /tmp/fifodir/audout -H 0 -x raw \
-g 640x480 -f 29.97,4 \
-n 0x1 -e 44100,16,2 \
-y mpeg2enc,mp2enc \
-F 5,"-q 5" -w 2500 \
-E 44100 -b 384 \
-k -V -Z 480x480 \
-J smartdeinter \
--zoom_filter B_spline \
-o out

the zoom filter is altered because for some reason the default wouldn't 
work under fc2 if I was resizing to 480x480 (it worked for other 
resolutions, just not 480x480).

Because you're dealing with raw audio/video, you MUST specify the input 
size/rate/etc (which I see you doing).

Anyway, hope that helps.   This is all going into the new nuvexport 
(which will use transcode exclusively for all transcode-type actions).
