mplex is NOT a "conversion" or encoder! Did you ENCODE to SVCD bitrate? You have to specify -f 4 to the encoder (mpeg2enc) AND the multiplextor (mplex). It sounds like you took a file encoded for DVD and asked mplex to convert it to a SVCD. Won't work. DVD frame size is 704xN or 720xN or 352xN but NOT 480xN (where N is 480 for US and 576 for Europe). SVCDs are 480xN and thus you need to scale the data appropriately (y4mscaler) and then encode with -f 4. Once the data is successfully encoded to SVCD rate and frame size then mplex -f 4 will work as expected.
