That 'proper' rate for SVCD is 2250 kbps. (constant bit rate, cbr) which 
fits about 35min mpeg2 on 650Mb
There are also VBR settings (variable bit rate) at 1600 and 1900 kbps that 
are recognised by most readers (dvds, ...)
(45 and 55 mins at 1900 and 1600 kbps on 650Mb CD)
any other bit rate means the SVCD might not be readeable on all devices.
(your mileage may vary)
