It has been well over one year since anyone here posted about good old DVD2SVCD. I still use it all the time, maybe I'm not the only one...???
This is from April 2010:
Could not have said it any better than ChickenMan. As long as I keep converting to DVD output I will certainly keep using DVD2SVCD. IMO nothing else can touch it, and like ChickenMan I tried most other available converters.
Right now I am not ready to make the switch to High Definition, but a friend already asked me if I could help him convert some Blue Ray disks to DVD for watching on his laptop while he is on the road. Well, I don't even have a Blue Ray player, but I am confident that DVD2SVCD will be able to handle this task, too.
Recently I had to convert some MKVs with H.264 video and AAC audio to DVD, and after checking a couple of alternatives (AVStoDVD being the clear winner) I decided I wanted to use DVD2SVCD for the task.
Of course DVD2SVCD does not know anything about the Matroska container or the newer video and audio formats. But I still was able to come up with a standard procedure to do these conversions with excellent quality and without having to learn all the peculiarities of some new application.
If anyone is interested, I made a small HowTo PDF which can be downloaded here:

Feedback is always welcome...
