The other thing that could be tried, but it would be a VCD variant rather than SVCD, would be VBR MPEG-1. Some (many?) players will accept XVCDs that use nonstandard encoding. With suitable filtering and quantisation it might be possible to cram 90 minutes of 352x240 (or 352x288 for PAL) VBR MPEG-1 on a single CD-R. The most I was ever able to get onto a SVCD was about 52 minutes by fairly aggressive filtering and source material that was not too bad to begin with.
