SVCD's don't have MPEG files. Rather, they have .dat files.

What you need is VCD Copy X. Run this app, and the .dat file will be "ripped" into a MPEG file which you can then use.

OSX doesn't include native support for reading data off of the "White book" CD standard that VCDs use (also known as multi-track CD-ROM/XA). Several flavors of Windows do but not all have it by default either.

Those more in the know, please feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.
