        If IEC-62107 is available online the answer would be in the standard
        but I do not believe SVCDs permit progressive streams.    A good 
        description of the SVCD format can be found in the 'vcdimager'
        documentation (of course it is not the definitive source).   For PAL
        "480 x 576 @ 25 fps (PAL 2/3 D1)" is the only choice and is almost
        certainly interlaced.

        DVDs are interlaced (progressive sequences being forbidding) so I
        highly suspect that SVCDs are also interlaced.   Using a CD-RW you
        could try making a progressive  SVCD and see if it works or not.
        Hardware players vary a lot in SVCD playing capability.  Some units
        which claim to handle SVCDs do so poorly while some units will play
        anything you place in the tray.

        Good Luck!

        Cheers,
        Steven Schultz
