Depends on the movie, but for movies that are about 90 mins, I think this template looks better than the LBR template (using only temporal smoother) - especially if there's not a lot of movement. I think the lowest CQ I used was around 40, though, and there's still a lot of "artifacting" (not sure if that's the correct term) - lots of blocks/blurring around the subjects in the scenes. On a standard television, though, the picture is fine.
I was able to fit 90-100 minute movies on one KVCD with this template. However, comparing the same movie encoded using the KVCDx3 template at very low CQ (around 10-12 to fit on one KVCD), it's a toss-up on quality, and the latest LBR using blockbuster and other filters gives a pretty good picture too, with the advantage of MUCH faster encoding time.
I haven't tried using the newer filters with this 704x480 1CD template - wonder how much they would help?? Time for more testing - just need more time!!
