NTSC DVDs can have a resolution of 352x240, 352x480, 704x480 or 720x480. PAL DVDs are the same, but with a vertical resolution of 288 or 576.

NTSC SVCDs are always 480x480, and PAL SVCDs are 480x576.

As New Homebrew says, a lot of authoring software will allow you to put non-standard resolution MPEG files on a DVD - but not all DVD players will play them without problems. But most probably will.

However, it seems strange that a 352x480 resolution DVD would be allowed on TTD, but not a 480x480 SVCD.

Similarly, it's possible to put standard VCD resolution MPEG-1 video streams on a DVD without re-encoding.
