Hello,
it it always possible if you reencode the movies.
If you mean to transfer to a dvd the contents of SVCD without
reencoding and then to be able to play such dvd on a dvd player,
then the answer is it may also work, but not guaranteed.
SVCD has a resolution of 480x480 and audio mp2 44100 Hz.

480x480 is not an official supported dvd resolution, but 
apparently most (if not all) the dvd player are able to
play a dvd with such resolution.
The big problem is with audio. DVD audio is 48000 Hz.
There exist player that would play dvd with 44100 Hz audio,
but that is much less common. Most of the time the player
wont play it (and also dvdauthor will complain a lot
about 44100 audio).
So the best thing to do is to keep the SVCD video and
reencode the audio to mp2 48000 Hz.

encode2mpeg -o DVD -mpeg -encode 7:0:1 -srate 48000 source.mpeg

In order to put 3 movies on a single DVD you can use
the option -video or -titleset (or both) depending of what you want
to accomplish.
