I've posted a small howto about converting VDR recordings to SVCDs a
while ago which is based simply on linux tools. I think you could find
it in the mailing list archive.

The main problem I've experienced so far is to get the correct audio
video delay from the .vdr files (cut or uncut made no difference here).
Since some bugs were corrected newer versions of mplex (in the driver
sources) work better here. However if you still get odd values it's
always a good try to take numbers in the range of 300..500 ms when
remuxing streams.
