In theory you only need liblame and recompile mplayer... don`t forget to check 
if mplayer found the liblame...

actually no, svcd is a mpeg2 video not mpeg4, mpeg4 aka (divx,xvid,ffmpeg 
libavcodec) is much more powerfull and is able to give you high quality video 
at very low bitrates and because of that (and compression techniques) much 
more minutes per MB, actually a cd with mpeg4 is a DVD on steroids:)
