(Wow, guess nobody else does SVCDs...)
Anyway - to add some detail, using XVID instead of SVCD works correctly, 
though still using 98-100% CPU, the job gets done. 
I haven't tried any other of the possible formats. 
Wonder if there's a problem specific to SVCD with mythtranscode.
If there's something I could add to invoke some responses here, please let me 
know.
Thanks.
