Ok I should have fixed them now.
The subpictures infrastructure has changed a lot recently. We did keep 
backward compatibility with the old architecture but an api call was 
changed nonetheless and I forgot to update the ogt/cvd decoders.

If you feel like it, you can update the ogt/cvd to the new architecture. The 
main change is that the subpicture decoders don't do the rendering 
themselves now (we have an alphablend plugin which takes care of this), 
they just return a decoded subpicture in YUVP (palettized I444). That 
allows us to avoid code duplication but as well allows things like 
subpictures transcoding for the streaming output.
You can have a look at the spudec decoder for an example.

Ah another thing to fix is the SCR problem with your ogt stream.
The work-around that you implement in the old mpeg demuxer wasn't ported to 
the new one.
I guess the work-around will have to be implemented in modules/demux/ps.c 
around line 183.

I'm uploading them to http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/streams/svcd

This one is actually a bug in wxWindows itself.
I sent them a patch for it a long time ago but apparently they didn't apply 
it to the stable branch.
