Sure. I updated to Dec 9 nightly to do this.

VLC is started with: vlc -I telnet
mvpmc is started with: mvpmc -m ntsc --startup 
filesystem:file=/home/brett/media --vlc brousse

In the mvpmc VLC menu options for video transcoding, DVD is selected.

# cat /usr/share/mvpmc/connect.log

Now, I change the VLC menu option to SVCD.

# cat /usr/share/mvpmc/connect.log
Connecting 
to /home/brett/media/videos/episodes/Family.Guy.S06E02.PDTV.XviD-XOR.avi

It looks like VLC is getting different canvas width/height as I would expect. 
And the bit rate has definitely changed (it's quite noticeable on the TV). 
That said, in terms of fitting the output on the TV, the resolution is the 
same between the two options. I assume it's not supposed to?

Nope. I've never done it that way.
